CM2000???
I was recently looking at the spectrum and cox approved list, and there is a Netgear CM2000 listed with a 2.5GBps ethernet port on it. I am wondering where I can obtain the CM2000 or if it is a futu...
sold out in few days.
new inventory coming soon and you should place a pre-order once it is available.
My CM2000 arrived today. I have it installed (Xfinitiy is my ISP). It's connected to an RAX200 via the multi-gig port. So far (today) I haven't been able to get speeds above 950 Megs on any speed tests run from the on-board router speed test or from any other computer connected to the router via wireless (where I have a 2.2 gig wireless link connetion). When I was using port aggregation with an SB8200 I would get speed tests on the router and on wireless connected laptops above 1Gig (because Xfinity provisions 1.2 gig for the 1 gig plan).
Has anyone been able to get a spped test higer than 1 Gig out of this modem?
Did you test the CM2000 directly connected to the computer?
- I’ve been constantly getting about 1180mbps out of the modem
Well techinally maybe possible to get over 1000Mpbs, remember that just a overhead bonus. Any wired LAN cable connection is still limited by the 1000Mpbs connection rate. So some wired adapter may see over 1000Mpbs on the wired and some like me, maybe see under under 1000Mpbs, I've seen 950 on my Mac Book Pro and Windows 7 PC with 1000Mpbs wired adapters. Also CPU of PCs and laptops will play a roll as well. I presume if you have a tri or more core CPU, then you are well capable of seeing over 900Mpbs and depending upon the wired adapter and quality of the LAN cable, maybe see 1000Mpbs or maybe just over. Also ISP signal line services and cable coax quality will play a roll as well. Other ISP users on the same ISP service line as well will be a factor.
Techinally if you had a 2.5Gb wired adapter, CPU capable of handling that speed, and your ISP services and allowed for 2.5Gb speeds, then I would presume you should see 2.5Gb speeds running thru the CM2000 modem.
Were just beginning to see higher speeds on the WAN side above 2.5Gb on modem and router hardware. There will be other factors that will contribute to the consumer seeing these speeds in the future. Were still waiting on the LAN side to see these connection rates. Were still stuck with 1000Mpbs at the consumer level. Just like it was when we were at 100Mpbs and finally got 1000Mpbs. Took about 10 years or so for this to happen at the consumer level. Now were again waiting for the next step on the LAN side.
So if you get over 1000Mpbs on the LAN side to the WAN then thats good, if your not, then keep in mind about the 1000Mpbs LAN connection limitation. I would not always expect to see over 1000Mbps all the time.
- Oh I should add I have a 10g card in my computer and on my routers wan and one lan port. That was the reason I wanted this modem
IF you can find one and your CPU supports it.
Does your ISP support 2.5Gb ISP services?
Can't test it against the ethernet port on the computer because it is only a 1gig conneciton. Wifi is a faster connnection.
