NETGEAR new product announcements at CES 2019

Netgear at CES 2019: Multi-Gig Cable Modems and Armor Cybersecurity Service Updates

Netgear has a couple of interesting consumer products-related announcements at CES 2019 - one related to their cable modem lineup, and the other related to the Armor cybersecurity service offering.

Back at CES 2017, Netgear had launched their first DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem, the CM1000. In that, I had mentioned that the Ethernet port for connecting the downstream router was still 1 Gbps, and hence, not taking full advantage of the capabilities of the Broadcom chipset. In any case, it was a moot point since there were no consumer routers capable of handling multi-gig ports (NBASE-T, or, even just link-aggregated WAN ports). Forward to 2019, the scenario is a little bit different. Netgear's own RAX80 (as well as a number of 802.11ax routers from other vendors) now come with multiple ports that can be link-aggregated for a WAN uplink (or, even just a 2.5 Gbps WAN port). This led Netgear to introduce the CM1100 cable modem (a Costco exclusive: »www.costco.com/Netgear-N ··· 287.html) in Q4 2018. The CM1100 was the first modem from Netgear to support dual gigabit Ethernet ports. However, it was not compatible with cable-bundled voice services

The new CM1150V Nighthawk is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable voice modem, and is very similar to the CM1100, except for the addition of two telephone ports. As the RAX80 takes off in the market, the new CM1150V (and the CM1100) can turn out to be excellent complementary additions. The CM1150V will be available later this month for $250.

At CES 2019, Netgear [also] announced that the Orbi lineup would soon become ARMOR-capable with a firmware upgrade in late Q1. Subscription rates remain unchanged at $70, but, the service now includes a copy of the Anti-virus & Anti-Theft Bitdefender Total Security software for all end devices in the network. …
