Easy Install, Simple to Use, Fast Connection; Best Value

I recommend this unit. Simply an excellent product. Setup was very easy to follow. I screwed the coax connector into my CATV wall outlet, connected to my modem and plugged in an ethernet cable from my desk top computer to the modem. Follow the start up disk which has graphic instructions so you do not need an expensive service technician to make a house call. The modem has both ethernet and USB ports. I am not a tech head, so I needed something that was an easy install. Delivery was very slow, shipped from from Blue Proton Consulting, when the modem arrived by UPS, I received it within 2 weeks, opened the box up, plugged it in, called Comcast technical phone support and gave them the serial number and MAC number that was on the bottom of the modem. I was connected in 2 minutes. I previously had a RCA modem that was much slower... the speed of the RCA crawled either because Comcast's system had changed or the old modem's could not keep up with it. The RCA deteriorated and failed after 3 years of hard work. The performance of the Motorola is very noticable and faster with a fast connection to the internet. Motorola locates the standby button on the top where it is easily accessible. Why rent this unit from your Cable company when you can buy it for three months rental charge?

I am using a Linksys Wireless Router with this modem running a desk top and three lap tops. Even with all four users connected, there is no problem with connectivity or bandwidth. I recommend that you re- boot both the computer and the router after the modem is first activated.

I purchased a high quality ethernet cable to use with this new modem.
This modem does give off as much thermal heat as the RCA modem did... it runs much cooler. I am using an ethernet connection to my Linksys wireless router and not a USB cable. This modem has an option to use USB connectors (with USB and ethernet cables provided) which is an option connecting the modem directly to your computer.

5 Star Product

Motorola Surfboard SB5101 Cable Modem works perfectly with no operational problems. Extremely easy to connect for non-technical person. Easily replaced the Comcast unit. Took old one out, matching wiring from old to new. Called Comcast to activate per instructions and "off to the races". Great heavy packaging, clear and easy instructions.

Easy Surfboarding

Installed on Comcast system amazingly easy and almost automatic. Works well and feeds router without problem. There is [...] rebate thruout 2008 so purchase is a real advantage over rental from the cable company.

Works out of the box as promised

Reliable and fast (depending on your connection), this is a solid purchase. Quick delivery that even surprised the seller, who emailed me to say they could not deliver next day despite it arriving next day... If next day would have been imperitive they offered to take it back without question, great service.
