Footnotes
*100/250 Mbps represent the advertised throughput you can achieve with the Internet plan provided by your cable service provider. Actual throughput may be lower than 100/250 Mbps, as this throughput is dependent on your contract with your cable service provider.
**343 Mbps based on DOCSIS 3.0 throughput. Maximum speed varies depending on the service provided by the cable operator. IPv6 availability is dependent upon your ISP or service provider providing IPv6 capability.
Speed references are provided, marketed, and sold by your broadband service provider and not Linksys. Actual performance, including network speed and data throughput rate, may vary. Performance depends upon many factors, conditions, and variables, including products used, number of users accessing the Internet, type of traffic generated by each user (interactive browsing versus video streaming), interference, and other adverse conditions. Actual data throughput will be lower than that indicated and may depend on the mix of products used and external factors.

So I thought to upgrade using the Linksys CM3024 DOCSIS 3.0 (24 x 8). The first number indicates the download channels (24) and the second number (8) the upload channels. The higher the number the better.
You can see by looking at the pictures that the Linksys CM3024 is vastly underperforming on the download side (promoted to have transfer rates up to 960 Mbps)--only seeing 13.5Mbps which is SLOWER than my old DOCSIS 2.0 modem with slightly over 17 Mbps and pretty much performing as expected--maybe slightly higher on the upload side 5.79Mbps with my current ISP account.
After doing some online troubleshooting/search, discovered that the Intel Puma 6 chip, which the CM3024 uses, has some severe "latency" issues according to some claims. This has resulted in many Cable Modems, including the Linksys CM3024, being put on "Do Not Use" lists. As far as I can tell there is currently no fix for this problem and you will not see the claimed speeds this modem promotes. (see UPDATE: below)
I am returning the Linksys modem and have ordered (after further research) the NETGEAR CM500 (16 x 4) which does NOT have the Intel Puma 6 chip. I will be happy to report on the performance of the new modem when i provision it on my ISP.
UPDATE:
I Received the NETGEAR CM500 (which does not have the Intel Puma 6 chip). I followed the directions completely to provision it to my ISP, which involved connecting your modem DIRECTLY to a computer not through a Router. I did the speed test on DSLREPORTS; the results are posted as the third picture (106Mbps D/L, 5Mbps U/L) -- SWEEET!
I reconnected everything, including my VPN router( key point here), and did the speed test again. Results are picture 4 (21Mbps D/L, 4,78Mbps U/L)-- UH OH! I did some more research and it appears that some have claimed that a VPN tunnel drops the throughput, which is what I'm seeing.
CONCLUSION:
In light of the issue with using a VPN router, A complete/accurate test of the 3 Modems, the original DOCSIS 2.0, and the 2 DOCSIS 3.0 modems should have been conducted via a direct connection between a computer and the modem and ISP.
I am glad the speed issue arose, as I wouldn't have known about the Intel Puma 6 Chip Latency issue with the Linksys CM3024, because I wouldn't have done the research. I already returned the Linksys and cannot reprovision it to speed test it correctly. I imagine that the speed test would have been good. But I think I would have returned it anyway for a Non Intel Puma 6 Modem.
I am raising my rating to a 3.5 on this Linksys CM 3024 Modem.

I'm pretty surprised that the nodes are white and not black, but both are behind something so it doesn't show anyway. The main one, next to the cable modem is behind my monitor and the second on the other side of my house is behind a TV. I have a ranch-style house that is a little under 3000sq ft. I noticed the Linksys app (which is pretty cool and easy to use) will have about 14 or so devices online at any given time. I have Cox High Speed Internet Preferred with a total of 22 devices using the wi-fi.

Before my current setup, I was using the Netgear cable modem router combo. I had problems ever since buying it a few years ago. I will never use Netgear ever again. The connection kept dropping, internet speed was slow, had deadzones, and I remember the hassle for Cox phone support to set it up.
I have a networking degree and am a IT Project Manager so I know when I say the Linksys is the best for my home network needs. I was tempted by having the cable and router in one device and that's why I went with Netgear. However, a lot of professionals and everyday users have the modem and router as two separate devices. Either the router is slow or the cable modem. You're not going to have both a great router and a great modem in one device.
Before Netgear, I had a cheap modem I was renting from Cox and a Linksys router. I'm talking about the old blue router with antennas! I had zero problems at all for over 10 years. It wasn't until I purchased the 2nd smart TV and started streaming more that I had to upgrade and unwisely went with Netgear.
Now I'm back with my trusty Linksys network setup!

Cependant, xfinity n'a pas voulu le considéré compatible même avec le Mac.
J'ai dû revenir à une location modem-router intégré.
It's supposed to be compatible, but they could not get it to work.
