« Motorola Surfboard SB5101 Cable Modem »

I replaced my Charter provided 10 year old Motorola Surfboard with this one about a month ago. Charter recognized it immediately and all I had to do was provide them with some information online and it's been running perfectly ever since. Idiot proof installation!

« Product crapped out after 5 minutes »

Connected it up. I worked with internet provider to get it registered. Powered on. Got the internet. It worked for five minutes and then dropped the internet. It would re-establish it periodically and hold it for a minute or two and then lose it again.

« great modem for the money »

I had problems with an RCA modem I was using prior to this Moto modem. I would regularly need to unplug the modem and restart my computer since I was losing the signal frequently. This modem is easy to set up and I have been using it for weeks without a single problem.
