The Netgear Nighthawk CM3000 is a next-generation DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem engineered to unleash the full potential of today’s fastest internet plans. Designed with revolutionary Mid/High-Split technology, the CM3000 is one of the few modems capable of supporting next-gen upload speeds (up to 1Gbps) from major providers like Xfinity and Cox.
Whether you are a competitive gamer demanding low latency, a remote worker needing crystal-clear video calls, or a household with dozens of smart devices, the CM3000 delivers a lag-free, multi-gig experience.
Most cable modems are limited to slow upload speeds (often capped around 40Mbps). The CM3000 is specifically built to handle the new "mid-split" upgrades ISPs are rolling out, allowing for symmetrical-like speeds that redefine video conferencing and livestreaming performance.
If you have upgraded to a Mesh WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 system, an old modem creates a bottleneck. The Nighthawk CM3000 opens the pipeline, ensuring your expensive router actually receives the multi-gig speed you pay for.
Powered by DOCSIS 3.1 and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access), this modem processes data more efficiently, significantly reducing ping spikes during peak usage hours.
