*New* Nighthawk CAX80 Release Date?
When will we get a chance to purchase the new Nighthawk CAX80? IS there plans for a CAX1200? Plans for a larger multi-gig port for cable modems like 5-Gig or 10-Gig?

A lot of the issues with timelines with combo devices is the certification from the ISP's. And they're never in a hurry. Netgear won't release it until at least 1 ISP has certified it.
And Netgear doesn't release future plans on products.

Spectrum has approved it for Internet tiers up to 1G. Looking forward to availability.

Awesome.
- Tim49Apr 13, 2020AspirantIs there a new release date? Being April 13, 2020 it's well past the mid-January anticipated release date.
The above reply says the CAX80 will be released when at least one ISP has certified it. Spectrum (considered an ISP?) has certified it for up to a 1 gigabit connection- see screenshot and page is https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/compliant-modems-charter-network/

I think xfinity, sparklight, spectrum have all added it to their list. Now its probably gotta get through the last stages of testing that its been added. Hopefully not long!
