The best cable modem works great with my Nighthawk 850 wireless router!

Very nice modem! The ISP got it enabled in minutes, and I got a 300+% speed boost. A huge difference compared to my old DOCSIS 2.0 modem. Highly recommended if you want to improve performance.

I bought this router to replace an all in one router\modem. It works great!  Very fast and super easy to set up. Money well spent.

I bought this for my 200/20 mbps service from Time Warner Cable, as it is on their approved modem list. It worked great! I chose this unit as opposed to other brands is because of its 2 year warranty (most only have 1 year), and US based customer service. Lastly, it's also the least expensive approved modem that will work with my speed grade. Excellent modem!

Time Warner - buy-buy to your modem and the 'modem rental fee'. C'mon! This thing has worked well since being plugged in and now going on 3 years. I don't think I had to reset it 4 times in 3 years. Great modem!

I received this modem today. I ordered it less then two days ago and here it is. My compliments to Amazon for this really fast delivery.

OK now down to the nitty gritty...

This modem is certinally worth the price. It has increased my speed and once it was set up it worked great. I even use VOIP telephone system (Magic Jack) and it seems to really make a difference.

Now for the downside. This modem came with firmware that was created in 2010 so it seemed to work well. I have read reports on this forum saying thet the firmware from 2009 caused a lot of connectivity problems but as I stated the current firmware works well once it is set up.

The modem is not "plug and play" as I was told by Comcast, but rather, you have to call Comcast and give them the MAC address as well as the serial number of the modem. They then remove your old modem and put this one on line.

This represented a problem for me because if I don't have internet service my VOIP telephones don't work. So, I tried calling Comcast on my cell phone and was put on hold for nearly a half hour. I finally decided to disconnect my new modem and reconnect my old modem. I was then able to call Comcast using my VOIP Magic Jack, but still had a fairly long wait until I was finally able to speak to a representitive. At least I wasn't burning up my minutes on my cell phone.

The representitive had to switch me to another representitive who put my MAC address and the modem serial numbers into their system, So I then disconnected my old modem and reconnected the WMB760A, let it boot up and all of the LED's turned green, and so far everything is working well including both of my Magic Jack phones.

The reason that I am only giving a four star rating is because the modem is not plug and play so you will probably have to go to your internet service provider and duke it out with them.

However after all is said and done, this modem (WBM760A) is certinally worth the price I paid and Amazon had a special. If you bought this modem then they were offering a TP-Link Router for only $22.00 and some change, so I bought both items.

*****So far no problems *****

I've been wanting to buy my own cable modem for a while now, because shelling out $7 every month to Comcast is pretty ridiculous. I kept putting the purchase off because there's nothing fun or exciting about a new modem -- it's practical, not fun. However, Dell recently started carrying this model, and since I have an account with them I went ahead and ordered it. I was happy to find that Amazon's price was only about $5 cheaper... 75 at Amazon vs 80 at Dell. Dell is usually way more overpriced than that. I'm excited to see my next Comcast bill with no modem rental fee!

I have Comcast in metro Detroit. I had no problem at all setting up this modem... besides the fact that there was an hour wait time for tech support. Naturally, I was able to get a salesperson on the phone within 30 seconds but she had to transfer me for that request. Anyhow, once I was transferred to an overseas call center (only the best for Comcast's loyal customers!) the rep was able to help me out. She was a little slow -- I'd say the call took about a half hour -- but she never once as much as suggested that the modem wouldn't work or wasn't compatible. She simply took the MAC address, and spent a majority of the time doing things in the computer while I waited. After restarting the modem and Comcast sending another refresh signal, I was up and running. Ran a speed test, and got similar results as I did with Comcast's rental modem. Speeds were just as fast (~30mbps) as before, but the ping time was a little bit faster. I don't know if it's all in my head, but it seems that my web pages load faster now.

If you're worried about this modem not working with Comcast, don't be. I did research about the problems so many people encountered and found out it's been taken care of for a while. The problem with the modem not working that many others mentioned happened when Comcast upgraded to IPv6, which is a protocol used to identify devices on the internet. The modems weren't dead or broken. Comcast upgraded to the new protocol before this modem had it implemented in its firmware. When that happened, the modem was rendered temporarily incompatible with the network. Comcast quickly rolled back and got everyone back online. However, this modem is now compatible with IPv6 so that won't be an issue anymore. This modem is listed as supported on the Comcast web site, and you shouldn't have any issue activating it once you receive it.

The modem is pretty nice looking; definitely nicer than any other modem I've used. It it seems familiar, it's probably because it has the same shape and design as one of their routers from a few years ago that was pretty popular. I even had one myself that I upgraded about a week before I got this modem. I'd prefer it in black instead of white, but it's not like it's going to be a design piece. The lights are more informative than other modems. Instead of just solid lights with labels printed underneath, the lights are actually backlit icons so you can immediately see what the light is for when glancing at it. Instead of 5-6 square lights, I have a power icon, an online icon, and the downstream/upstream icons are arrows pointing down/up. Even the icon showing ethernet connection is in the shape of a LAN icon.

So, even though I just got this modem today, I already really like it and would recommend it. It looks nice, I had no problem activating with Comcast, and it seems to have less lag than my old Comcast modem. If you are shelling out $7 each month to Comcast like I was, this modem will pay itself off in just under a year. Spending the money up front is well worth it to me, because Comcast is already getting too much of my money as it is!

This modem is fantastic, two co-workers have purchased it and they love it as well - easy setup and incredibly fast internet. My Comcast speedtest came in at 21 MBPS.

I purchased this modem because I was looking for a cheap one for my cable ISP. I was in luck to find this one at uBid.com for about $40 shipped. The modem did have some issues but they were all cleared up after I requested a firmware upgrade on dslReports.com for Optimum OnLine. I cannot stress the face enough about finding out whether your ISP is compatible with any modem before you purchase one.

This was my first ever personal modem purchase so naturally I learned a lot before making my purchase decision. I chose this modem over the SB6141 due to similar spec sheet and the Zoom being $30 cheaper (As of 10/2015). I could not have made a better decision. That $30 might not seem like a big deal and it isn't. Save it. I read up on possible "issues" that people claimed to experience. After getting the modem, however, they almost seemed like myths. This is the best modem that you can possibly buy in this price range. I say this without regret or lack of knowledge. As of now, I also speak with experience! You've found that modem that you need! No need to wait :)

If your looking for for a replacement modem or just want to alleviate the cable company rental charges , I'd make this your first choice. My bandwidth use to be all over the place. From 5,600kbps to 32.000kbps and never the same or steady. With the Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 holds a steady signal of 24,500kbps and the peeks are as high as 85,000 to 45,000. They always fall back to average of 25,000kbps, on occasion it will stay higher on slow customer use, late at night and early in the am.. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and no problems.
I steam live auto racing, Netflix,Hulu,and more,on many computers at the same time all day and night. It even helped my i Racing. Their is no lag and no dropouts and even has a cool website menu to see what the modems doing and to restart it.
 Its worth the money just to upgrade to the DOCSIS3 modem if for nothing else.
Thanks for reading this,
DAVE

This Modem still rocks. Its so fast I wish I did It long time ago. I still can stream 3 or 4 computers and  do iRacing at the same time with no lag.  Throughput never falls below 24Mbps and even higher boost than this winter ,high as  between 45-85Mbps.  There may be other modems that stack up but I recommend this one I helped pave the path for US Robotics during the land line modem days.

I have used multiple brands of modems over the years including older Trendnet models. This model, while the most expensive I ever purchased is by far, the easiest to use! Two calls to technical support were answered in less than a minute on 2 different days. In retrospect, every call that I made to TRENDnet over the years was promptly answered by a human being as opposed to endless voice queues and waits! Both issues were resolved promptly and satisfactorily. I'll be testing the range of this router in my home over the next few weeks to see if I can eliminate a second router that I use in the most distant location in my home.

Bought this modem today along with a new netgear x8 router to finally replace my ancient equipment. All I can say as it's fast. Way more than I expected. I wasn't even anywhere close to utilizing my connection speed that I was paying for. Money well spent. I have comcast and after 10 minutes on the phone it was up and running and good to go. No problems.

Here's some screenshots of speed tests before upgrading my equipment, then upgrading my router and then my modem. Ridiculous speed.

Just finished installing a refurbished CM100 on Comcast. Very simple to do. Call to Comcast just required the model and MAC. Sixty seconds later I was surfing again. Speed is either the same or a little faster. I was already getting 6 - 10MB download.  After hanging up with Comcast I recabled my router back in and all computers are blazing. If you are paying monthly rental for modem I would strongly suggest buying your own. I can't believe I have been paying rent for at least 10 years. Yikes that was $3600. Do it now!

I have Time Warner cable because I have no choice. When I was renting the TW modems, I had constant interruptions to my internet service and a technician came out every 6 months for 5 years and always had to replace the modem because it wasn't working and the technician would always tell me, this modem is outdated by years. I explained that the previous tech said he was giving me the most up to date modem. Turns out they were all lying. I finally bought this because I was tired of renting these low quality modems and paying rent.

Since I installed this modem, I have not had any problems whatsoever. And this includes WiFi so I don't have to attach a wireless router!

Excellent modem, works fine!  Also is a router, but I already have a dual-band router, so I only use this as a modem.
