The Netgear CM1000 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem that connects to a cable Internet service at speeds up to 1 Gbps. It is CableLabs Certified and meets DOCSIS 3.1 specifications. It is also backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 networks, so it works with both DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 cable providers.
For DOCSIS 3.1 connections, it uses 2 OFDM downstream and 2 OFDM upstream channels. For DOCSIS 3.0 connections, it uses 32 downstream and 8 upstream channels. A Gigabit Ethernet port with auto-sensing technology connects to a router or computer.
Owning the modem means you do not pay a monthly equipment rental fee to your Internet provider. It works with XFINITY from Comcast, including Gigabit, Blast and Extreme plans, and XFINITY customers can self-activate it online. It is not compatible with cable bundled voice services. Installation does not require a CD.
