    • You need docsis 3.1 modem for 1Gbps, and this netgear was the missing piece!Install was easy, I plugged it right up and called the Xfinity agents up and this sweet agent did all the work after she put in the MAC address and Model number on my account to activate, then unplugged the router and BOOOM

    • 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
