Amazon as usual hassle free!

Summary: Replaced 3COM and works Great
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: updating cable modems is not painless
Comment: Item is not plug and play. If this a replacement for another modem you need to contact your cable company to synch the device. It also required resetting the wirless router which required calling the wireless router provider and if you are using VOIP it requires resetting the phone adapter to synch with the modem and router. Needless to say it was not a painless experience. Outside of that the modem works great.
