description NETGEAR CM2000 Overview

The NETGEAR CM2000 is a standalone DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem in the Nighthawk product line. It has a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting to a separate router, mesh system, or computer and is designed for cable internet plans that support high-speed service. Because it is a modem rather than a wireless gateway, Wi-Fi and network-management features require separate equipment.

help NETGEAR CM2000 FAQ

What internet plans can the NETGEAR CM2000 support?

The CM2000 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem designed for cable internet plans up to 1.2 Gbps. Actual service depends on whether your cable provider has approved the model and supports the advertised tier.

Does the NETGEAR CM2000 include Wi-Fi?

No, the CM2000 is a modem rather than a Wi-Fi router. You need to connect it to a separate router or mesh system using its Ethernet connection.

Can I use the CM2000 with a fiber or DSL connection?

No, the CM2000 is built for DOCSIS cable networks, not fiber or DSL lines. A fiber ONT or DSL modem such as the TP-Link Deco X50-DSL is required for those connection types.

Why does the CM2000 use DOCSIS 3.1 and bonded light technology?

DOCSIS 3.1 lets the modem use newer cable-network channel technology for higher throughput and efficiency. Netgear also describes bonded light technology as a way to improve data throughput over the cable connection.
