When my old modem died I bought this modem and am very pleased except for one thing. After installing, my internet connection slowed to a crawl. A little troubleshooting found the problem. The only DOCSIS 3.1 modem available came with a Cat 5 cable to connect to my router. ?!?!? Does Netgear know where I can get a Corvette speed limited to 45 mph to go with it? Luckily I had a Cat 6 cable that I was using with the old modem that fixed the problem. Very disappointed on that one point. You can't fit 1gb through a 100mb line.
