NETGEAR C7000-100NAS Nighthawk DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router
Overview
The NETGEAR C7000-100NAS is a dual-function cable modem and WiFi router built into a single unit, delivering up to 1.9 Gbps combined throughput (modem plus wireless data rate combined). DOCSIS 3.0 modem technology enables maximum cable network speeds on residential internet connections. This combo form factor eliminates the need for separate modem and router hardware — reducing cable clutter and simplifying provisioning for residential and small office deployments where a single gateway handles both cable modem termination and WiFi distribution.
Compatibility
The C7000-100NAS is designed for residential internet service provider networks supporting DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem standards. Confirm your ISP (Comcast Xfinity, Charter Spectrum, Cox, or other major cable carriers) explicitly approves this model on their network before purchase — some ISPs maintain approved-device lists that exclude specific models. The unit functions as a self-contained gateway and does not integrate into existing enterprise network management systems or professional surveillance/IT infrastructure.
Installation Notes
Position the unit in a central location with clear line-of-sight to end-user WiFi devices to maximize wireless range. Coaxial cable from wall outlet connects to the cable input port; Ethernet runs from the unit to connected devices or a secondary switch if needed. Rear panel includes one coaxial port (cable in), four Gigabit Ethernet ports, and a power connector. Allow 5–10 minutes after power-on for full DOCSIS modem provisioning before testing connectivity. No special tools or torque specifications required — hand-tight coaxial connections are sufficient.
