A:First, a brief lesson on the Netgear AC1750 Wi-Fi docsis 3.0 - this item combines your Internet providers cable modem and your internal Wi-Fi router into 1 piece of equipment instead of having 2 sitting on your desktop; however, the more important feature of this item is that you won't need your cable providers cable … see more First, a brief lesson on the Netgear AC1750 Wi-Fi docsis 3.0 - this item combines your Internet providers cable modem and your internal Wi-Fi router into 1 piece of equipment instead of having 2 sitting on your desktop; however, the more important feature of this item is that you won't need your cable providers cable modem (which I pay $7 per month to rent - there are some pros and cons to this because if it breaks you are on your own if you own the equipment, if you rent it for $7 per month the cable company will replace it for free). Now the other feature of the Netgear Ac1750 Wi-Fi docsis 3.0, which is now getting into more of the question you asked, is that it provides Wi-Fi (wireless network/internet access) to your house. In order to be able to use the Wi-Fi feature, you must have something on the PC/TV/Roku/Amazon Fire Stick/etc. that can talk back to the netgear ac1750, that something (sometimes called an adapter) is what you are asking about. So now let me explain something about Wi-Fi before I answer your question. Wi-Fi has different levels of speed/fastness/throughput they are categorized by letters b/g/n/ac. For simplicity sake, b and g are the slowest, n and ac are the fastest. This router provides 2 access points, the first one for b/g/n and the second one for n/ac. Most laptops/pc/tvs/etc can access the routers b/g/n access point because this technology has been around for a long time and is already built into those devices; however in order to take advantage of this routers fastest and latest and greatest technology (ac), you would have to have the ac technology built into your pc or use the Netgear ac1200 Wi-Fi usb (the item you are asking about). So to answer your question, you do not have to buy the netgear ac1200 to use the router (because you can still use the b/g/n or n/ac Wi-Fi access points for your older equipment). I just bought a new laptop and it had the ac technology already built into it. If you are connecting your pc/equipment hardwired to the netgear ac1750 Wi-Fi docsis 3.0, you won't need anything except the network cable to attach it (the Wi-Fi speed would not apply because it is hardwired, hardwired is always the fastest way to go). see less

This is unfortunate, as the current firmware (at least for Time Warner Cable) relies on outdated code that prevents the Netgear CM500 from obtaining the accurate System Time.

The CM500 consistently reports the System Time as at least 5 hours out of sync. see less

You must have this device to connect to the ISPs network and thus get internet access. A router is a device to make your own local network which can be wired or wireless and is downstream of the modem. Some manufacturers such as NetGear has combined the hardware of a modem and a router into one unit to simplify a setup that is appealing to many people. The reason I recommended that these units remain separate was several, but biggest is if I want to upgrade my router/wifi then I can do it without replacing the modem. Reliability may also be a factor. see less

It works great; very clear calls. You only need to plug it in directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the router or, in this case, the modem/router. Your modem/router is on continuously so that a computer connection is no longer necessary. Should the cable service go out (as it does periodically) of course the phone voice service will be unavailable. This is also true if you have any cable company voice (phone) service.Hope this helps.... see less

A:Yes

A:With the current speeds offered by cable companies and available devices(smartphones/ipads/laptops) this modem/router can easily support for at least 5 years. When docsis3.1 comes out its definitely going to be expensive and most of the devices wont even by ready.

A:Yes, this modem is compatible with any router.

A:I do not think so. This is a cable modem. A plain router wold be cheaper

A:voip function only exist on xfinity voip gateways.not on internet modems.

A:Dont know for sure which is better, works just fine with my tplink router and speed is accurate. Hope this helps.

A:very much comparable to the sb6183 speed and stability wise. doesn't have the UFO glow to it at night.

A:Yes, we have ooma connected by Ethernet cable and it works fine, with Comcast as the internet service provider.

A:Answer this question

A:Not really sure, look it up on Google, works well if you have a high end router. I think it can take up to 1gb of download.

A:One You will need a router for up to four and a wireless router for any more than four.

A:Correct-Your Broadband provider dictates the number of operating channels. I'm with Time Warner and I have 16 down and 4 up. I was told by TW tech support they determine functional channels; but, this modem allows future expansion.

A:I have a Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000. It is very nice and it has 3 radios. 1 on 2.4Ghz an two on 5 Ghz. I have it working with XFinity and the Netgear Cable Modem. Please, see my review comments if you want more info about the activation

A:No, this modem does NOT have eMTA capability and so can't directly be used for VOIP/cable phone service..

A:I measured as 5 by 3 1/2, less than an inch thick. Pretty small. You connect the power cord, the incoming cable and your Ethernet to your computer or wifi, take note of MAC address on bottom, have your cable customer number, give them the number, they handle it and you are done.

A:You can not have a telephone landline with this modem. (VOIP Is OK). Router, yes (one port); Wireless, no.

A:It is not yet certified, but I can confirm that I am currently using it with Cox service.

It brought up the Charter self-installation page and asked for my account number and MAC address. I didn't have a Charter MAC address because I was already using my own, so I called Charter's customer service. They plainly told me the Netgear AC 1750 is not compatible with Charter. I was able to find Charter's list of compatible devices and unfortunately their approved list of modem/router combos is limited at best. And, from the research I've done so far, the ones they have approved seem to have some of the lowest customer ratings out there. It's sad and unfortunate that Charter cannot get with the times. see less

A:Answer this question

A:Assume you mean very high speed internet speeds from ISP that is now becoming widely available. I purchased this model because I had just upgraded to faster internet and wanted to have ability to take advantage of future extreme speeds. Rated at over 600 mps super speed.

A:boy never tried it as am adult with no children. There is a setup Genie that has parental control, but never tried it.

A:This is a cable modem/router and is designed to work with cable ISP's only. We recommend you contact your ISP directly to confirm compatibility with your chosen service.

A:Absolutely

A:Answer this question

A:That is what Netgear tech support told me. Plus, there is no firmware update option anywhere in the unit's UI

A:Yes it does. Both 2 and 5g

A:Port forwarding is a router function, not a modem function.

A:I believe Century Link is a DSL service, so no this modem will not work.

A:I'm not sure. I haven't hooked it up yet. I'm waiting for internet provider to call me back.

A:Yes this works great with TWC

A:This modem will not "transmit" anything, it is not a router and doesn't provide a wireless ("wifi") signal at all. It also does not provide a cable TV connection- you need a set top cable box for that - it just provides access to your cable systems Internet network.

A:Answer this question

A:I have 9 wireless and about 10 more wired through a netgear switch. works great. setup was easy. I would recommend.

A:Answer this question

A:The NETGEAR CM500 High Speed Cable Modem provides a connection to high-speed cable Internet, up to 680Mbps. It is Cable Labs certified and with DOCSIS 3.0 is 16X faster than 2.0 devices. I'm using at speeds up to 300Mbps with no issues.

A:Yes, and is a very good modem router

A:I don't get that -- if it works and you don't hear it after plug in -- I wouldn't worry

My internet is faster and my internet TV works better than TWC cheap dual modem/router, and I'm saving $6 month by not leasing their modem. As for phone, what I did was buy MagicJackgo for $39 (which included a phone charger as added value), used my same landline, ported my same number, and hooked it up to a router which is connected to my modem. Took about 10 minutes. The current deal is the first 12 months are free and then after that it's $35 a year, yes year, not month. But they have a holiday special right now for $110 for 5 years of service plus the one year free service. That said, I'm getting 6 years of phone service, local and LD, VM, Call forwarding, etc, for $110 for six years which comes out to $1.50 a month for phone service. Plus they threw in a second charger. Compare that to your current phone bill. I believe you can also hook it up to your cell phone (if you don't have a landline AND have your landline calls forwarded to your cell phone if you're out. It's so worth the savings. My landline phone bills with TW were $10 per month plus taxes so right there it's about $140 a year with taxes and all those unknown little surcharges, over 6 years it cost near $840 for a landline I rarely use but kept for faxing. With magic jack, I'm spending $110 over 6 years vs. $840. With MJ you also own the equipment and can take it anywhere you go, like a hotel, or anywhere there's access to internet and an ac outlet. So not having the phone connection to Netgear turned out alright. The only regret I have is that I didn't do all this sooner because I was chicken to try new things. And now that I have netgear and my new router (buy them separately - these combo modem and routers are not nearly as fast), I've reduced my overall expenses by about $1200 per year, I have internet TV with HULU, Amazon Prime (have to be a member $99 yr) and worth every cent, Netflix and all the shows and stations I had on TW. Goodbye to cable and dealing with their snarky CS folks and outrageous pricing. Though you do need to keep internet for all these things but if you have other options for providers and are not happy like most with TWC, check it out. Good luck. PS: BTW, I have a wireless printer/fax/scanner. Everything still works fine except fax, which doesn't work with Magic Jack but my IT guy tells me if I buy a second MJ I can hook that up separately to the printer or just use eFax.com, pay as you go. Or just email an attachment. There's all sorts of ways around that and who faxes much anymore anyway? see less

A:Answer this question

A:You will have to ask your Internet provider. I have Time Warner Cable and it is on the list for them. Works great. If they will allow you to use it you will have to hook it up and call you provider. They will activate it in there system. I hope this helps! Jeff.

A:Answer this question

A:I have it in my home with Comcast/Xfinity cable internet and it works fine. I do not know about Comcast business, but I assume it uses the same platform.

A:You should be able to be able to do that, you just need to use a coaxial cable splitter and run line to both the router and your cable box. This does affect signal strength, though, so you should confirm with your cable provider before doing so.

A:It is hard to say. It depends on you internet speed. Netgear AC1750 has 300 Mbps limit. My internet speed is 200 Mbps, so I get around 180 Mbps. You need to verify with your internet provider.

A:No

A:Yes

A:This is a cable modem/router and is designed to work with cable ISP's only, and will not work with FIOS.

A:No. I'm not sure why NAS associated with with the model number for the Modem, but it stands for something else unrelated.

A:I think it should work fine.

A:Answer this question

A:We recommend you contact your local Charter representative to verify compatibility in your area and with the services you signed up for.
