Any opinions yet fellas?.... I have the same question, after considering to bail on Qwest DSL and DISH, and change to Comcast Triple-Play for Phone, Highspeed Internet, and Cable.

Refering to the Answer Above, Sorry about the typo Erro, The Motorola Docsis 3 Runs about 150 Mbps

+1 for the linksys e3200. Dual band wireless N will make a huge difference while streaming HD media.

Were you able to resolve your constant cable modem resetting? I ran into the same issue with my SB6120 + ASUS router (flashed w/ Tomato) + Charter, and moved to AT&T; U-verse. Now I'm debating moving back to Charter, but would like to know if this is still going to come up again. Thanks.

I'd strongly recommend a 2.4/5Ghz dual band router if you're looking to be future proof, most crowded areas have dozens of 2.4Ghz Access Points now, and if you can get a 5Ghz device or adapter, you experience a lot less interference (drops, slowed connections, lower signal strength, etc).Linksys E3200 does this and has a USB port for sharing files and a 4port gigabit ethernet switch if you use a wired connection for any computers. The E2500 has the same wireless capabilities with 100MB ethernet and no USB port for cheaper.Hopefully this helps anyone who might be trying to make this decision.

I've just purchased a Motorola SB6120 cable modem and connected to Charter, abandoning my DSL w/AT&T.; I love the speed increase, but I'm having to reset the darn thing several times a day - a major pain. My DSL router (also a Motorola, an old one) only had to be reset maybe once a month. On my side the modem is connected to an old Dell Truemobile DS-2300 wireless router. I'm wondering if the problem is on the modem-Charter side or on the modem-router side? It's only the modem that needs to be reset to restore the internet connection.In another day or two I should have a new Apple Time Capsule to replace the old Dell router. Maybe that will make a difference?

Not sure about Comcast. I use mine with Time Warner Cable internet and have had no problems.

The one that I had purchased did not work with Comcast for me. I was on the phone with them for well over an hour & the bottom line in my application it was a NO GO. It did not work & I bought another brand & it was golden. I bought this brand/model... Arris Tm722g Cable Modem Docsis 3.0However & do not believe & spent that much...

I found this router does just fine with about any modem. I use the modem provided with my cable service and it sings along. If you are buying your own modem, I suggest you check with ATT for their recommendation. I only bought this router because my cable company recommended it, and it's great! Good luck!

You will still need a cable modem. This is only the router part. That would be the same also for the airport express. That said, you can purchase a modem in addition to the router so you don't have to rent one from Comcast anymore. I suggest a Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem. Great investment.

From where I was at, it didn't work for me. You should go on the Comcast website and take a look at the router compatibilities. Be careful out there because they don't work in some areas. Good luck!

Here is what I found out having just bought one (10/30/14). I was able to go on-line to Comcast after connecting the modem to the cable and a network cable directly to a notebook computer.The modem provisioned without any issues.The phone service work fine to.Here is the hitch...While there are no problems with the modem and it shows up on Comcast's OK modem list I found out the modem is still undergoing testing and not fully supported yet. This means you should be able to get standard internet speeds but if you have the higher speed blast service it will only transfer at standard speeds. They told me this should be fixed within a month... we will see ;) Here is what I found out having just bought one (10/30/14).

I have comcast and this modem works fine for me.....but they keep asking me to change it and purchase the newer model which can accept higher speeds. Unless you are paying for a top internet speed from your provider you don't need the upgrade to this modem. This is a DOCSIS 2.0 modem and the newer one is the DOCSIS 3.0 modem....with a higher price. I guess this item is the "older" one but it works well with many providers (I've been told) and it's definately easy to set up. I'd check out both modems and see if the upgrade is something you want or need.

After a few months, my device also performed poorly as a wireless router. I had good performance when I bypassed the wifi and used the SBG901 in bridge mode as a modem. Ultimately my best solution wasto replace it with separate modem and router components.

Joe, couldn't tell you for sure if anything would be different. I went from Verizon DSL to Suddenlink and they gave me the SB5101n to use. I'm just running internet only and not phone, TV and internet. Honestly I'd just hook it up, see what happens, and enjoy the speed. If you're still in doubt, ask TW if it will work on their system. Good luck !

Ok any router works with any service as long as the modem is connected. you need to hook the router up once to a computer to set it up and put your own security key in. after that go on your wireless devices and put the same key in you created and you are up and running. you really dont need the computer at all for anything unless something goes wrong. i am about to get this router sometime soon after i get comcast. i got windstream :( yes very very sad... i hope some of my knowledge helped you out

Yes it works with any cable modem from comcast. the router has an ethernet port which looks like the phone jack, but has twice the amount of wires and is bigger in size. The cable that normally comes from the cable modem and goes into your computer, is instead plugged into the router, so that it can ROUTE all the traffic from various computers and the internet back and forth to each other. However, I would NOT recommend the model I bought because of the issue with the DHCP server built into it, at least not until such a time as a firmware update corrects it. The N700 and N750 have no such issues.

Yes, you can attach another wireless router to this modem/router. I had to do this because the wireless router section died, so I bought a Netgear wireless router and it worked fine until the modem section died too. I will never buy another Motorola product after this and a similar experience with a Motorola cell phone. Both died just over a year old. You don't have to turn off the internal wireless router, just ignore it when connecting your devices. You might find a parameter to turn it off. I can't check that since mine no longer works!
878769
Yes. You can verify that by looking at Comcast's website, they have a list of all routers which are supported by them. Note that there are speed ratings for routers and the wireless protocol they support. This is an older model, but thanks to Comcast's high speed internet (even at basic service), speed is not an issue.

Hmm I wish I had gotten this one then.Belkin N+ is a good router though and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.I would recommend it. But I'm thinking the version2 of this linksys is better.

It depends with speed of your megabits of your service. I had century link but then my one year contract was over . then I ask for another one but price of internet changed. So I bought another modem not Motorola. Overall it was good modem .

how about splitting the coax, so data goes to the SB6120 and phone com goes to the comcast hardware that controls their phone? your comcast central office has to provision the SB6120 for the data and do a separate one for the phone. then again, your comcast might be one of the poor Comcast service areas like a friend has had in Sycamore Illinois. I haven't had too much trouble in California when asking for changes in the service setting up... good luck
