NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem & ATT Uverse

I purchased the NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem CM1200 on Amazon. The headline stated "Compatible with all Cable Providers", and after I ordered it I then (after the fact) noticed it says in the fine print " NOT compatible with Verizon, AT&T"

 

Is this true? And, if it is, what would be the best cable modem for Uverse?

       Why?

       None?  Ask your ISP (AT&T)?

     

       I thought that AT&T U-verse used DSL, not any kind of cable-TV-type
    modem.  And not all DSL modems claim to work with AT&T U-verse.

  • I have u-verse. I purchased the netgear nighthawk X6S router. My u-verse router is 7 years old. So is my u-verse modem. My new netgear nighthawk X6S has no problem communicating with the old u-verse modem. I’m not anticipating any problems when i get my new netgear CM1200 modem.

      IF your on a ATT ISP service, there services don't support cable modems, most of there services for either DSL or Fiber. Pleae contact ATT to ensure what modems are supported by them if any.

         None of that is a model number.  Look for "Model" on the product
      label.

         Aside from its age, I know nothing about it.  Maker?  Model number?

         That's nice, but no one here was predicting any problems with
      communication between any modem and any router.  The concern is about
      communication between a cable modem and your ISP.  With no useful
      information about your "my u-verse modem", the non-psychics in your
      audience are left to guess at what might be compatible with your
      service.

       

         And the current guesses are that you might want to anticipate some
      problems.
