Which one?
By the way your message mentions both the CM2000 and C2000. They are not the same thing.
The CM2000 is a modem while the C2000 is a modem/router.
Adding a router to a modem/router is a recipe for chaos.

Thanks for catching that.. I’m thinking of purchasing the CM2000 (modem) only. Today I have a combo modem/router. I also have a spare R6700 router not being used that I would use with the new CM2000.

What actual modem are you currently testing with?
How are you speed testing? (device, website, etc)
What actual router are you using currently
- R__EApr 15, 2021AspirantCurrently using a combo modem/router.. netgear model C7000v2. I test the speed using Speedtest app and also the Xfininty app has a test. Just ran a test using both and below are results:
Speedtest- download 41.4/upload 23.2
Xfinity- download 57.7/ upload 23.2
NOTE: I’m sitting 6 inches from the gateway and only using one smartphone abs one PC.
I have Xfinity extreme which should stream up to 400 Mbps.- plemansApr 15, 2021Guru - Experienced User
what wired speeds do you get? Not wireless.
