Does this cable modem work with gnu/linux? I am using Ubuntu Linux and just wonder if this modem works out of the box with this OS.

Hi! I have not configured this router on a UNIX/Linux OS. System requirements on the box state that this router is UNIX and Linux compatible.

this router should work with most cable modems, I believe this router should work fine.

According to the info about that modem, it's supposed to work just fine with winblows OS and fax software. Other than that, I wouldn't know as I don't use or need fax and don't use windows.

Odd answer from Comcast since they supplied me with the SBG900 cable modem when I initiated service in the fall of 2008! They probably have a deal with another supplier with either a better cost to them or better specs but it definitely still works and I have been very pleased with the range and reliability.

I have not personally tested it ... but I have run Arch Linux and it does have NetworkManager support and good community support -- so it should work -- likey with little issues.

I don't know, I had to call customer service to help me with set up with embarq modem. after she helped me get it working, two days later it messed up. I just unplugged it and put it in my desk, not going to use it and mess up my computer.

It works with cable. To be sure, you need to check with Time Warner. They should have a list of modems that are compatible.

I bought one for the same reason - to save the $8/month to Comcast. After many hours and many calls, a tech (not Comcast!), told me that it would never work properly for all three functions - cable, phone & internet. He said their modems have some firmware that is proprietary but they will delight it. Long story short: pay Comcast the $8 and "Enjoy" it!

Wish I had a more helpful answer at the moment than this; I know it works with Chrome as my browser. I had to look up what the OS was and am now keenly interested in it because it looks crazy cool. So I hope this USB is Chrome OS friendly as it is how I connect. I'm assuming you're a Verizon customer already and everything else is functional with the modem; just is it compatible. I lack the hardware to fully answer this question, I'm afraid. But thanks for the awareness to OS sounds interesting!

FWIW - Cox just sold me ($89) the SB6182 as their premier cable modem, even though their web-site clearly lists the SB6183 as new to Cox as of 6/27/14.....I have it installed and it works quite well. Though I will not be shy about getting the SB6183 if it pops up in their store window next week.

To answer your question: I don't know. On personal note : This is worst modem/router i would have ever used so will never recommend it!

Honestly..... It doesnt't work with any modem.... Or at least all I've tried.

I would stay away from this one. I found with Windows 7, that you have to unplug and replug this one in to get it to work again. I believe it could be with the right software, but it is very unreliable, unsupported, and doesn't work most of the time. I recommend find a different modem.

Yes. Ethernet is a networking standard so this will work with any DSL/Cable modem. If your modem has a wireless router built in you may want your ISP to replace it with a standard modem.I am using this with an Arris TG862g. Should work fine with any SB6120, 6121, 6140, 6180 etc. If you have an SBG6580, you'll want to have it swapped for a non-wireless modem.Source: I worked for a cable company.

I am sorry I cannot help you with this. When we decided to purchase our modem, we bought the same kind that we rented from our cable internet provider. We knew for certain that it would work.

Please note that basic cable modem service may not be sufficient if you are running multiple devices. Furthermore, sometimes this device works only when connected immediately to the cable modem, instead of to the router.
