Question: Can this use with cox connection?
Document: I didnt want to spend $7 a month or $100+ on a 3.0 so I gave this a try. With cox cable connected right up and works great. I do not do much gaming, but we do use Netflix / amazon prime video on sometimes up to 5 tvs and never noticed it slowing down. Great product for a simple connection.
Perfect for the price... Works great with my cox connection... Good WiFi as well... This is a sure shot if you dont want to invest 5 times more money on a separate modem and router.
First, it took TWC San Diego some time to register the modem. Then the modem just could not maintaining the connection and could not handle even the photos.After I found and applied the tweak suggested by Loren, the modem started to work very well. But I had to power cycle the modem after two weeks use.
I picked this up to use with Time Warner Cable (TWC) under their $15/month internet deal (2Mb down/1Mb up connection speed, late 2013 promotion), and it worked great right out of the box. It was a good $75-$100 cheaper than the other cable modem/router devices on the TWC accepted device list and has wireless.
This item is useless. I bought it to use with Cox Cable but it didn't work with them. They were not able to activate it.
I can only use it as a modem and NOT as a router. I have contacted NETGEAR they want me to pay to diagnose the problem! Cox (my internet service provider) will not help me unless I pay them $40-60 to maybe solve the problem. As it stands, I've paid for a modem, and a router which I cannot use.
Cox tech support wouldn't help with the WiFi either. But I finally found a help page that said to use "MSO" as username, and "changeme" as password. Wow, it worked!! Then I could view the WiFi password, and I also changed the SSID (hotspot name). So now I'm a happy camper.
Things to note:-The gear is exactly the gear you see in the description.-It is an older version of the now-used modem/router-You will need to activate it via the provider you use (aka Cox etc. )-You will need to reset the system once you get it-You may need to troubleshoot the router/modemGood buy but you will need to do some work (about an hour) to get it up and running!
Like others, I was not interested in renting equipment from my cable/internet provider. This relatively inexpensive unit is doing the trick for my basic needs. Cox cable informed us of the DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade for optimizing use of the high speed internet service, and after installing the Netgear modem/router I have noticed an improvement. The setup was straightforward as their was a prompt screen from Cox cable for self installation.
I must say that there is no manual or instruction booklet with it, but I'm moderately computer savvy, and it was a breeze for me. This equipment was never intended for the consumer market, but rather for use/sale by providers such as Cox, Comcast, etc.The wireless setup was also very easy and intuitive, altho you do need to know the web address--192 198.0.1, user name: admin and password: password, to get it all done.
Answer: I've been using this Cable Modem with Cox Communications in San Diego since 11/29/2013 without any problems.  Cox will wipe and replace the firmware within a few hours of connecting your modem to their network, their EULA states that they can do whatever they want to your equipment if it connects to their network and they are NOT responsible if something goes wrong.
