Netgear Nighthawk CM1100 is a cable modem supporting DOCSIS 3.1 for high-speed internet.
The modem simply translates signals coming through the cable. To configure a DMZ, you'd require routers and additional devices.
Docsys 3.1 supports high-speed connections, making it suitable for plans like 1.5Gbit or 2Gbit. You'll need a router with dual WAN ports to handle the bandwidth effectively.
It suggests the modem may eventually support quicker connections, though right now speeds stay below 1 Gbps over coaxial cables. The current Docsis 3.1 documentation caps performance at 10 Gbps down and 2 Gbps up. The ongoing development of full-duplex Docsis 3.1 aims for symmetrical 10 Gbps speeds, but these remain theoretical. I question whether cable providers will ever reach such rates. My Synology RT2600 AC performs well, offering strong range and speed for its price. It also monitors my monthly bandwidth usage, helping me avoid unexpected overages from Comcast. Even though I don’t use the feature, it lets me restrict bandwidth for specific devices and ensure essential ones always get access.
