🔌 Enhanced Performance Motorola SB5100 Surfboard Cable Modem Review

10th/month for rent which I've been doing since 2012. No complaints about functionality after 1 day of use - this one seems to work just like the old one and speedtest.net's 'A to B' shows no change in speed. Questionnaire In addition, the modem was shipped quickly and arrived just a few days after I ordered it. I only give three stars for two reasons: 1. The product received does not match the advertising. This is advertised as the SB5100 Surfboard. I received the SB5120 surfboard. They are…

Don't buy a used cable modem unless you can be sure it's not already registered with your cable provider! I have bought this modem several times (used). A few months ago to replace the one I was paying monthly rent for. I returned the old modem to my cable company and requested activation of my new (used) modem. My wife usually pays the bills, but I happened to check my cable bill to see if my monthly payment had changed and found that I was still paying rent for the modem. When I called my…

I decided to buy a modem after I saw my Comcast bill go up (again) and that was partly because they increased their modem rental from $3 to $5 a month.

It also works great with all of my other Linksys routing devices. If you're having disconnects or other problems with your current cable modem, this one is worth…

I purchased this item to serve as a modem for my newly installed cable internet service. The provider did not provide a modem free of charge, nor was it possible to rent it.

That's good :) I've never had to turn it off, I've never had to reconfigure it, I haven't even had to check. it was so easy). This is the third cable modem I own.
