Netgear CM1200-100NAS DOCSIS 3.1 Multi-Gig Cable Modem
Overview
The Netgear CM1200-100NAS is a high-performance DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem engineered for environments requiring multi-gigabit throughput over existing coaxial infrastructure. Designed for small-to-medium business (SMB) branch offices and high-demand remote workstations, it eliminates the bandwidth bottlenecks associated with legacy DOCSIS 3.0 hardware. By supporting 32×8 channel bonding and 2×2 OFDM/OFDMA, the CM1200 delivers efficient data transmission and significantly reduced latency for VoIP, high-definition video conferencing, and large-scale cloud synchronization.
Key Features
- – DOCSIS 3.1 support for up to 10Gbps download speeds.
- – Link Aggregation bonds two ports for 2Gbps throughput.
- – Backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 32×8 networks.
- – Four Gigabit Ethernet ports for flexible connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CM1200-100NAS include built-in Wi-Fi or routing capabilities?
No, the CM1200 is a dedicated cable modem (bridge). It requires a separate router or firewall to provide Wi-Fi connectivity and local network management.
How does the Link Aggregation feature work on this modem?
By connecting two Ethernet cables from the modem to a router or switch that supports LACP (802.3ad), you can combine two 1Gbps ports into a single 2Gbps logical link to bypass the single-port bottleneck.
Is this modem compatible with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services?
No, the CM1200 is designed specifically for cable internet providers using coaxial (RG6) infrastructure and DOCSIS protocols. It is not compatible with DSL or Fiber-optic ONT handoffs.
