Decent product with a few short-comings.......2007-06-11

Overall, this is a pretty decent AIO (all-in-one) product. Some things you need to be aware of is that the cable modem portion of this does require a stronger signal than just a regular stand-alone surfboard cable modem. Also, you are required to use its DHCP built-in server, whether you like it or not. You can set static IPs within the settings if you wish though. There are a number of tweaks you can do with this and some areas could be more robust, such as with the wireless security, but in general it is a decent product for a home user.

Excellent item and price!.......2007-05-30

This cable modem is awesome. I've been paying $4 a month to lease a different one from Comcast for over 5 years...ugh...a piece of garbage too. So this will pay for itself in no time, plus it does wireless too! Super easy to get up and running, works great...

the instructions that were included were great, I had no problem setting up my secure wireless network, and now all 4 computers can connect to the internet and each other effortlessly

Wow!.......2007-05-29

I just bought this cable modem/wireless lan combo last week and it is truly a great product like everyone else has described already in Amazon's reviews. I get a strong signal and solid connection throughout my 2600 sq/ft home all the way to the bonus room on the second floor over the garage on the opposite corner from the concrete basement where the modem sits. It is also feature packed and I had no problems setting up my wireless network. Two thumbs way up!

A very cool product in more ways than one. First, the user guide on the cd is very comprehensive, and should address just about any problem. Setup was smooth, with a short software install. As soon as I gained a connection through my provider, I went into the setup menu on the modem and changed the passwords, enabled security and firewalls, and setup the network. It was configured and working in less than 30 minutes. The best part, is the modem plus router in one unit. No more wires and plugs around the desk. The unit is actually in the basement where the cable coax comes in the house. No need to even have it in the office. The signal strength is good, as my neighbor several hundred feet away detected my network, (but could not log on because of the WPA passkey security settings). I later disabled the broadcast of my network name in the modem settings, so it doesn't show up if someone searches for all available networks. The price is a little higher, but remember the 2 in 1 feature, and less wires and plugs. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend this product to anyone, especially the first time wireless users such as myself.
