Easy install so far so good

I bought this cable modem realizing I could buy this modem for three times the rent I've been paying my cable company for the last several years. This modem works with both my charter cable high-speed Internet and the Belkin wireless router. To install, I called Charter Technical Support and gave them the MAC address that is on the modem sticker. When calling Charter I had to connect and disconnect the modem multiple times while Charter was connected. After that everything was as usual. Other…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Powered by SoCal Time Warner

Installation took about 15 minutes including my time on the phone with Time Warner. It would have taken less time, but the model number had to be added to their system (couldn't be the first, could I?). DCM202 connected on the first try! I haven't had any luck with the Motorola Standard Edition that I've had in the past. Not sure about the speed boost yet, but so far so good. There is an error in the documentation - the web administration can be accessed from 192.168.100.1 and not another IP…

Pros
  • A little about it
Cons
  • Minor issues

Works Great: Computers and Accessories

I didn't update to firmware 2.01 the first time but successfully updated the second time. There are no problems with the modem. There is just some…

Pros
  • Brilliantly Made

Works great with Time Warner cable! (EDIT: Do it sometimes)

I set it up, called Time Warner to give them the MAC address and it worked right away! I connected it to a D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N Router, which I and many other people have had horrible problems with before, and as soon as I plugged it in, the wireless network worked too. I bought this modem. To replace a crappy no-name modem, Time Warner informed me that it simply won't share an internet connection, no matter what router or hub it's connected to. I would advise anyone having trouble…

Pros
  • Dream come true
Cons
  • Secret
