• Reviews around chipset (1.78 of 5)

    NETGEAR Cable Modem CM500 - Compatible with all Cable Providers including Xfinity by Comcast, Spectrum, Cox | For Cable Plans Up to 300 Mbps | DOCSIS 3.0

    • This is one of the faster cable modems you can purchase without the dreaded Puma 6 chipset
    • This isn't a recommendation against netgear, many netgear routers don't have this issue, and other manufacturers used this bad chipset as well
    • I guess it’s the same crappy chipset inside
    • In fact this is the only one approved for that speed that doesn't use the defective Intel Puma chipset or have a built in router
    • 6 chipset - bad news, drops connection, slow inconsistent speeds
    • This isn't a recommendation against netgear, many netgear routers don't have this issue, and other manufacturers used this bad chipset as well
    • The defective Puma 6 chipset has wreaked havoc on my internet
    • There is a class action lawsuit going due to how bad this chipset is
    • The first ID’s on the box were different than on the modem and didn’t work!
    • I WOULD NOT BUY THIS MODEM AGAIN, AND WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST ITS PURCHASE.It’s always difficult to say if a device providing poor connectivity is due to the vendor (e.g. Cox, Mediacom, etc.) or the hardware
    • We use ours with the Orbi router and it’s very nice being able to turn kids WiFi’s on and off or use the timers and parental controls.
    • It is the appropriate mb/s for the internet speed I have, and it does its job well
    • n’t disappoint either
    • n’t support there 500 Mbps speed.
    • (works fine on my cheap T-Mobile hotspot).
    • n’t had issues with fluctuating signal, and I believe this is our magic fix
    • DPC3941T did!So far so good!
    • n’t had any problems at all.
