 Modem GREAT. Just don't buy from Amazon. December 2, 2008
This is a great little modem that takes me all around the interweb zip zip. Just don't order it from Amazon. Their seller, NYC Electronics, shipped it out minus the all important power cord. When this happens as I discovered, no power on earth can get either Amazon or NYC Electronics to send a missing power cord.
Eventually, it was not Amazon or NYC Electronics who made it right but Motorola who very kindly sent a power cord gratis. Bless Motorola. Boo Amazon and NYC Electronics.
It was a month before I was able to finally power up the modem and put it to use.
From now on I will limit my purchases from Amazon to CDs, DVDs and books.
Works Great November 30, 2008
Quick delivery, easy set-up. Been using it for a week now and have had no problems.
RAPID November 28, 2008
SINCE I WANT EVERYTHING YESTERDAY I REALLY LIKE THIS SURFBOARD MODEM FROM MOTOROLA. IT IS FAST
AND THE STAND-BY MODE IS A GOOD FEATURE.
Cable Modem November 26, 2008
Works Well! installation was real easy, but requires talking to cox to update mac address, (no big deal 5 minute process).
Amazon as usual hassle free!
Replaced 3COM and works Great November 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This Motorola Surfboard SB5101 replaced a 3COM cable modem which I had for less than a year. The old cable modem was dropping the signal constantly. I called Comcast and they did diagnostics several times over the phone and came out to my house and found no issues with any of the wiring. Eventually I decided to replace the 3COM device with this one. WOW! what a difference that made. This unit has been rock solid since day 1. I am also seeing the benefits of PowerBurst with Comcast that I definitly was not seeing before. In talking with the Comcast support people this is one cable modem they give a thumbs up to.
