NETGEAR Nighthawk CM1200 Multi-Gig Cable Modem – DOCSIS 3.1, Up to 2 Gbps, 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Own your modem and stop paying monthly rental fees.

The NETGEAR CM1200 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem with 32×8 channel bonding, supporting internet plans up to 2 Gbps (with link aggregation). It provides 4 x Gigabit Ethernet ports for homes and home offices on gigabit and multi-gig cable plans.

Why Owning Your Cable Modem Saves Money and Improves Reliability

Many cable internet customers rent a modem from their provider every month. Over a few years, those fees often exceed the cost of buying a modem, and rental units are frequently older models that cannot deliver the full speed of current plans.

The CM1200 uses DOCSIS 3.1 technology with 32×8 channel bonding to support internet plans up to 2 Gbps (with link aggregation), so the modem is not the bottleneck in your connection.

As a standalone modem, it pairs with any Wi-Fi router or mesh system you choose, so you can upgrade your Wi-Fi later without replacing the modem.

Speed and Compatibility

The CM1200 is compatible with major US cable providers such as Xfinity, Spectrum and Cox (check your provider’s approved device list). It supports plans up to 2 Gbps (with link aggregation).

Wired Connections and Flexibility

With 4 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, the modem connects directly to your router, mesh system or computer.

How to Set Up the NETGEAR CM1200

1. Connect the coaxial cable from your wall outlet to the modem and connect power.
2. Wait for the power, downstream, upstream and internet LEDs to show a stable connection.
3. Connect your Wi-Fi router or computer to the Ethernet port.
4. Activate the modem with your internet provider using its app, website or phone line, then restart the modem and test your speed.
