Charter Cable Internet Router Setup

A single cable modem/router module was capping my gigabit internet speeds (xfinity). I needed to upgrade my internet setup to support gigabit internet, which means buying separate modem and router machines. This Netgear Nighthawk CM2000 was super easy to setup and delivers on it's speeds. I haven't run into any stability or reliability issues yet. I did have to call customer support once for an issue that ended up being something my ISP needed to fix. Customer support was pretty friendly, helpful, and patient.

The default router charter sent us did not work unless you were in the same room as the router, so I, frustrated and tired of paying for Xbox live and Hulu when I can’t even use them decided to get a new router, every thing loads within seconds and I experience little to no lag at all when playing Xbox

I have been super excited since purchasing new router. So much faster and more reliable than my charter WiFi

Previous modem/router was old and kept losing internet this one was very easy to setup and has great connectivity!

No cons. it works great for my cable internet and with the nighthawk router

This modem is a must have for anyone with cable internet. It’s very fast and well priced. I have it paired with an Orbi WiFi router.

Fast Router. Feels like a quality made product, more like an industrial or enterprise product feel. I have my SB8200 cable modem on eth0, home office on eth1, and Linksys mesh network on eth2. It took me about 30 mins to setup being new to this type of router. Used basic wizard to setup. Made sure NAT was enabled. Firewall is enabled. I had to reset cable modem to get things going. I used various videos on you tube for setup help. Router CPU and RAM barely get used during testing of several 4K Video Streams, ip phone calls, file transfers, and speed tests running at the same time. My COX gigablast connection runs at full speed most of the time. I still need to do some real throughput testing, machine to machine on local network. I use Airflow and VLC to cast 4K content from home office to my living room entertainment center. I definitely noticed a time difference. It simply takes less time for actions to engage and finish. I can tell it has a better brain. Time will tell with reliability but I suspect it will be my router for a long time. So far, I'm happy with its performance.

Great router. Granular setup when logged into rather than using an app. Internet speed on home network tripled. The old wifi 5 router could not absorb the bandwidth being provided by the cable company. Buy it. You won't be disappointed!

Purchsed this Modem to repalce dual modem/router. It was very easy to get setup with one call to my internet provider. Paired with the Nighthawk Mesh Router we have coverage though out the house.

Router is top notch! easy setup and the networking features are out of this world. If you have a decent internet speed this puppy will give you great range.
