Does this Modem will work with Timewarner cable and whether I can use WIFI features?

This modem was not intended for personal use. It was created for ISP use only, which is why some people may experience wireless incompatibility.If you purchase this modem to use as a customer owned modem on Time Warner Cable's service, it is very unlikely that WiFi will work, especially if you live in Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, or South Carolina.In short, internet should function fine, but I would not purchase this expecting wireless service on Time Warner's network.

Yes and No There are two types one work with Wifi and the other does not work with Wifi it has to be connected directly to your router by cable. Therefore it depend on the type you have purshased

This cable modem should work with any cable system that calls for compliance with DOCSIS 3.0 and it its backwards compatible with prior standards. Should work with Time Warner.

Yes, it will work. However, you may not be able to maximize the performance of your modem. It would be better to get a newer router.

I don't use the SB5101U with Time Warner, so I don't know, but you can google "Time Warner modem" and click on "Buy Your Modem / Time Warner Cable, or go to this page: http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/residential-home/support/topics/internet/buy-your-modem.html

It worked for my Atlantic Broadband. Call Time Warner Customer Service and they will tell you what you need to know to replace their supplied modem that you rent or are offered to purchase for a larger sum of money than you will pay for a used or refurbished one!

I have no answer, not tech. savy. I only purchased the modem, nothing else, and my Netgear unit does work just fine.

No. It will work just fine. Be sure to use the reset button on the back (use a pin to push it). Hold it down for 10 seconds. It will reset the modem to its default manufacturer's settings (meaning it erasing any wifi password, internet firewalls, etc.)

We could not get this to work with Time Warner Cable -- their techs spent over 4 hours at our home trying to get the digital local channels to record, eventually blaming it on our private wireless network router config (bullcrap) so we returned it. Sorry! (but if you have TWC, good luck!)

Yes, I had Time Warner, and they too said that this modem would not work, however after being on the phone with the tech, and him sending the signal two or three times, I was connected...and it worked fine too! They want you to buy the best possible modems for the speed requirement to be the best...however these older modem/router combos do work fine.

I think that would be best to ask that question to your Internet provider. Also ask them if it works with your modem as well.

It may...if TimeWarner is providing 50MBs and your equipment is current (your hardware) it might. Bear in mind that many (older) routers/network cards/switches work perfectly fine but are not capable of higher speeds (10/100Mbps transfers verses 10/100/1000 Mbps). There are newer gigabit routers and switches on the market, which like the TP-LINK TG3269 enable users to take advantage of the higher speeds that TimeWarner and other ISPs are providing. Good luck!

It will depend on your particular setup, assuming that the time machine is attached directly to a modem then yes if it is attached to a router then no, port forwarding must be done in the router.

i had to return it because it wouldn't work with my service provider. but it's a modem so i don't think it has wifi capablilities.

If this question is about wifi, this modem does not support wifi. After your cable service provider has activated your line, just connect the modem and give it enough time to be registered and maybe updated. With my modem and Comcast it worked that way.

I purchased this model because it was the same model that I was renting from Time Warner, I called and registered it with them and began to use it. It worked fine for the internet but the phone did not work and the wifi also did not work, I called Time Warner service and they told me that their modems are not the same as the one I purchased. They buy them special from the manufacture with a difference so they are not the same even though they have the same model numbers.

I think that it probably would but in ordering one to replace an identical unit so I could be free of a monthly fee of rental and free WiFi Time warner wanted us to daisy chain the two of these identical units together and would NOT cooperate in activating it so I returned it. You had better check with your cable supplier before ordering and ask more than just the first person you talk to.
