NETGEAR Nighthawk CM2000 vs Hitron CODA57 Cable Modem

Buy the Nighthawk CM2000 if you want a modem that works on any major US cable provider and has two phone ports for voice service. Buy the CODA57 only if your provider is Astound, Breezeline, GCI or Midco and you want the higher upload ceiling of mid/high-split DOCSIS 3.1. Both are 2.5 Gbps modems with a single multi-gig Ethernet port, but the CM2000 is the broader, more flexible choice, while the CODA57 is a provider-specific unit that owners rate highly for easy setup and mesh compatibility.

• Choose the Nighthawk CM2000 if you are on Comcast Xfinity or another major cable provider and want one modem that also handles telephone service.
• Choose the CODA57 if your ISP is Astound, Breezeline, GCI or Midco and your plan pushes upload speeds past 1 Gbps.
