Cable Modem.......2007-06-10

I am very satisfied with this product. I bought it to replace a rental from the cable company and it performs as well.

Great Cable Modem.......2007-05-06

The modem works as well as the other Amazon reviews suggest. However, ISP Comcast was a nightmare unto itself. Two "technicians" swore that because I purchased the modem (and didn't rent it from Comcast), I would have to wait until one of their mobile technicians could complete the setup! Fortunately, I made a third call and actually (imagine!!!) reached someone in the United States who logged the modem's MAC ID and I was underway without even having to reboot or having to resort to the installation CD. The modem is noticeably quicker than the 3Com it replaced.

Great 'plug and play' modem! Solid performer!.......2007-05-01

Our 'Terayon' modem that came with our 'Adelphia' broadband cable connection died after 2 plus years, so my cable/internet provider swapped out the defective modem for this new 'Motorola'. I was a bit leery and concerned about having to hook up another modem for fear that something would surely go wrong with the hookup on our 2 PC router network, and I would have to call a tech or a consultant. It took about 3 minutes to open the box, hookup the power, cable, and ethernet connectors, and attempt to go online. There was NO software installation, and NO reprogramming or changing any parameters or network settings. NONE! The modem instantly powered up and magically recognized the network and cable data signal, and I was good to go! 'Plug and play' heaven! And the performance is better than the older 'Terayon'.

very solid cable modem.......2007-05-01

This modem blows my old Toshiba out of the water. I have a home network and internet phone too, and even when my Toshiba modem was newer, I still had to powercycle / reset it (and my router) every couple of days. However, I have had the motorola for over 2 weeks now and have not had to reset anything on the network. Very solid, and installation was easy. I highly recommend this modem.

Easy To Use, Non-Technical, & Solid Performance.......2007-04-02

This modem (as far as 3Mb connections go - if you're paying for 5Mb don't buy it) is the absolute best modem for the money. The cable company in my area has a habit of testing and sometimes disconnects my modem and I have to reset it which for DSL and other modems might be a HUGE pain in the *cough but with this modem you unplug, count to 5, and plug it back in. Yeah, that's really it! So buy this thing and quit messing with those other guys.
