CM500 connects only 100mb to PC or Netgear router.
I have a CM500 modem for home with Comcast and speed 100down/5up and had been happy with it for 3 months now. Comcast upped it to 150down now and it's all fine. Use R8000 behind it. Bought a second...

Sure.
Three separate cables used, two brand new from the boxes of the units and one connected Gigabit earlier.

It's rare but occasionally two devices can fail to negotiate to run at 1 Gbps. Netgear doesn't provide any user settings to control this. I've seen people successfully use an Ethernet switch in between. Normally, you should never put a switch between a modem and router, but this is one exception.
Seeing as you returned everything, I would not worry about this happening again. As I said, it's rare for this to happen.
