I had this with my Comcast about 1 1/2 y;ears ago. was wondering if anyone has used it currently for Comcast. Is this DOCSIS 3.0?

DOCSIS 3.0 is rating for a modem. The WD My Net N600 HD is a router, not a modem. Yes it will work with a Comcast modem.

Yes, this device works is compatible with ANY DOCSIS certified cable ISP. The modem is DOCSIS 3.0 certified, which means it should work with any ISP that supports DOCSIS 3.0 or below. Simply contact your ISP to verify that this particular modem is supported. The "Comcast Only" excerpt was a typo from the old Linksys documentation where Linksys said itself, Linksys, guaranteed that it worked with Comcast. Since then, Cisco bought out Linksys and now produces this unit. Unfortunately, no one has corrected the error.

I had no issues with this and windows 8, 8.1 and 7, Mac, iPad, etc, you name it, It worked just fine with it. depending on the area you want to cover you might want to look at one with an external antennas, and I would be sure to get one that's 'dual band' both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz, and I had no problem with a very compilated network, including 2 additional swtiches after it and a motorola surfboard DOCsis 3.0 modem before it in place of the cable companies little docsis 2.x thing that kept jamming me up. Increased my speeds by 2x for no additional monthly modem rental

NO.. Actually I sent this modem back. I did replace it, however, with a "TELEPHONY" modem that is just like the one I was renting from Comcast. I didn't realize my error in reviewing this item until after I hit ENTER. sorry

Yes, I'm using mine on Comcast and it works great (also saving the rental fee!)

When I called to connect it, I was told that the modem was already registered with a Comcast account and I couldn't use it. Luckily, I called back and got a different technician who could connect it. So far, the device has been consistent and I haven't had any problems, but I almost wasn't able to use it. It might depend on the technician as to whether or not they'll connect you with service...Just a word of warning when buying used. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time.

No you need DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. This is a DSL modem. You could plug it into a cable modem and use it as a router only as it has a LAN/WAN port.

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.

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!

Hi, this model is on the Comcast approved equipment list. I'm using Comcast too, but currently I'm experiencing difficult time with this setup. It is not consistent/reliable in the speed for some unknown reason. It can be very fast when it works properly but later the speed will drop almost to a halt. Very frustrating and have called Comcast multiple times, but as of today, the problem still exists.

Yes this works fine with Comcast and Charter (or any cable internet company), but you can't use it with their telephone service (so if you sign up for internet and telephone you have to get a different model). This device is an all in one with included WiFi, which makes it a great small device that covers all your bases.It isn't DOCSIS 3.0, but that doesn't matter since Comcast speeds don't even reach the capacity of DOCSIS 2.0

This Model is one of the compatible models with Comcast Network , but unfortunately with the slower speeds of Comcast (5 years ago network), its a good product but you need to find a newer model which supports DOC SIS 2.0 or even DOCSIS 3.0 this one would works but with troubles.

I bought the Arris TM802G from Amazon because Comcast said I had to have a Doc Sis 3.0 telephony modem. Comcast said they weren't able to support this modem. I told Comcast that I was using it just for phone and cable and they were able to install it over the phone. It should work for Internet as well.

I have been using this modem with Comcast without issue. I just had to call them and give them the unit's mac address and wait on the line for a few minutes while granted access. After that I returned their modem and reduced my month bill by $5.

Did you ever get an answer or find out how to do your issue? I have the HX820 arriving soon and I also have Comcast. Thanks!

I've had no issues with it. The tech when he installed my service tried to upsell me a newer modem saying this one was too slow. I constantly get 8 Mbps down and 5 up. And yes I have Comcast.

No it's not compatible with Comcast. My husband had to return the one we purchased.
