help NETGEAR Nighthawk CM3000 FAQ

Is the NETGEAR Nighthawk CM3000 a Wi-Fi router?

No. The CM3000 is a standalone DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem, so it needs a separate router or mesh system for Wi-Fi. Its multi-gig Ethernet connection is designed to feed that router.

What download and upload speeds does the CM3000 support?

NETGEAR advertises the CM3000 for internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps downstream and up to 1 Gbps upstream on compatible mid- or high-split networks. The actual result depends on the cable provider, service tier, firmware, and local network.

What makes the CM3000 different from an ordinary DOCSIS 3.1 modem?

The CM3000 adds mid/high-split support intended to improve upstream performance on upgraded cable networks. It also includes a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port for multi-gig service.

Will the CM3000 work with Xfinity, Spectrum, or Cox?

The CM3000 is marketed for major cable providers including Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox, but compatibility and maximum speed vary by provider and service address. Activation must be completed with the ISP before the modem can provide internet access.
