We purchased the CM2000 because of its speed rating to take full advntage of our local ISP’s advertised cable speed. Also, our older CM1000 was having issues with reliability and needing near daily reboots. The new equipment is very fast, and dependable, both needed for two work at home professionals using Zoom video conferencing daily. Expensive, but nice product.

Using with WOW internet service and a pricy Netgear router. Worked fine for one year but one year and one month all lights were flashing and no connection to internet. So many post online about this problem with no fix that works.

After using the gateway provided by my ISP for years I always felt something was off/missing. When I upgraded to a modem and router of my own instead of renting I immediately noticed a difference. Better connectivity, faster response, lower latency, and almost no lag ever. Significant drop in ping in online games as well.

I was having poor connection with my cable companies modem and router I finally hit the bullet and switched to my own. This has been the best switch I’ve made in a long time. I have service throughout my entire house with no issues. Net gear has always been the best.

I have had this modem for a few months now to upgrade and take advantage of higher speeds and it keeps dropping the download signal. Sometimes is every day, sometimes its every few days and then I have to reset the modem. Not sure how to fix this as I never had this problem with my previous modem – I am on Comcast if that helps.

Exactly as described! Works perfect and has increased my provided internet speeds up to 100mbs without increasing my ISP’s internet plan! Can not recommend this modem enough!

Made for the highest speed internet, does not disappoint! Will need very high end wireless routers to take advantage of near full WiFi speeds.

Modem failed after 20 days and at this point it has been 10 days of horribly delayed back and forth with support asking me to do pointless tests. Nothing will recognize the modem even connected to it, but they still wanted me to ping it. Then they wanted me to make sure I did not have a static ip and ping it. Now they want me to make sure I have a static ip and ping it again.

The Netgear Nighthawk2.5 Gbps is an awesome piece of equipment.

The installation of this product was the easiest in the 30 years I have been doing the work. (In minutes, the system was running.) The modem performs flawlessly, even in an apartment building with 35 years old coax. The modem is barely warm (every other modem I owned got hot) so I am saving money on the electric bill. Buy one and you will be thrilled! (This is a voluntary review from an honest person.)

Working as intended. Fast and responsive!!

I bought two of these. Follow the instructions to setup exactly how it’s written out. When I went to activate it with my service provider they had me do a power cycle, the product immediately broke. Returned it thinking it was just a bad unit, it immediately happened again. I called Netgear and their only advice was to bring the product back and get a THIRD unit and call them first. I was not going to risk breaking a third modem just because Netgear makes fragile products. Went with a different company and immediately worked, no issue. Either fix your instructions for setup or make more robust firmware.

In the last 12 months this is my 4th cable modem purchase, I am happy to say I have finally found the modem I needed, the speeds are great, consistent, the Nighthawk is the only way to go.

I had the CM1200 which was a good modem. About eight months into owning it. It started dropping signal. Then it would allow my router the Orbi to get the speeds I was getting. So, I contacted Netgear they were able to figure out it was the modem. While waiting to figure out what was the issue and waiting on the new CM1200 to arrive. I started reading up on the CM2000.I read other reviews as well. I decided to buy it even though the CM1200 would be here the next day. I am 110% grateful I did. It was a great modem. Plus my speeds had increased greatly as well. Buy this modem you will not be disappointed. I have Spectrum gig internet. And I have no issues at all.

this modem was an upgrade from my very reliable, still working Arris SURFboard SB6141. There was some hassle to get it running at its max glory. It was working for 14 months, but it suddenly stopped working. I troubleshooted but i could not revive it. I got a Comcast tech at home to make sure it was not something wrong with my connection, but connection was good. i was without internet for 3 days. I purchased the Arris SURFboard SB8200, and my wifi speed is faster than it was with Nighthawk, the better it i paid almost the half of the price for this gem. I had never to change Arris brand modem, they are reliable. basically, I spent more money than i saved from paying Comcast because if this faulty modem. i do not recommend it.

Have not encountered any problems. If anything it might be faster than what internet company’s giving me on power.

The WiFi service person was happy to see quality gear and we haven’t had one glitch all these weeks!

Easy to set up and paired with a orbi mesh system. I have high speed wifi all through my home. Great modem.
