One of the biggest questions we get asked here at ModemGuides.com is if a certain modem will work with your provider or not. We do our very best to keep all our compatibility lists up to date with the latest updates from your provider on what models they allow on their network. That said, it's always a good idea to call your provider to make sure before ordering. The most common reason people end up returning their order is due to incompatibility. For the most part, this model works great with Comcast, Cox, Spectrum, and Time Warner.
Even though this is just a modem, without any built-in wireless, the CM1100 is packed FULL of features. Right out of the box, this model has a Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting any wireless router, switch, or wired PC. This model's DOCSIS 3.1 status is also backward compatible with previous DOCSIS versions. And since DOCSIS 3.1 is the latest version on the market, you know this model is exceedingly future-proof compared with other devices, allowing you the peace of mind that you'll have several more years of use before you'll even need to think about upgrading. The CM1100 is also IPv6 enabled and includes integrated security features to keep your devices and personal information safe from malicious attacks. Save up to $168 per year, just from not renting your cable modem!
