Depends on what service you have. The type of modem is different for DSL vs. Cable vs. Gateway (a modem that allows for phone service). Also, some modems work with some providers and not others: Verizon vs. Comcast vs. Other. Once you answer the first issue, you can narrow down a host of good modems (except for Gateways--there aren't too many good ones of those out there). Then you can compare the modem with the provider's compatibility lists.What service provider do you have and what kind of modem type do you need?

Good question. Any modem that your Internet Service Provider (or ISP) qualifies to work in unison with its service. Personal preference of some is to lease the ISP modem. Motorola is good FYI.

if your dial up modem can attach to the lan port on the cpu it should work. i would think your speed is going to be very slow !!

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.

Good Luck....I returned two units that I could not even get setup...very poor software and NO, repeat NO support. Unit not ready for the big time.

I assume you have DSL instead of cable and are looking for a DSL modem/router to combine the modem, wired and wireless in one package. The Linksys X2000 is awful, constantly dropping the connection. I've had better luck with Actiontec GT784WN. Great setup software and support. TP-Link TD-W8960N was OK, but support is non-existent and the interface is overly complex.

Like Ian, I, too, have Time Warner, but I will pass on my experience because it might help. I called TW and they actually gave me a list of compatible modems before I bought anything, and this one was one of them. But when I purchased it and the tech came to install it, I was told that TW doesn't allow customers with digital phone to have their own modem. So who do you believe--the customer service rep or the installer? Anyway, the modem is sitting in my supply closet, never used. And I can't imagine any cable company with worse customer service than TW. :)

What is the "black box" that you have been provided by the Satellite internet company? I need to know this to help you so that I can determine the proper type of connection you should make from the Satellite internet providers hardware. If you have the make, model and even serial number, I would be happy to research for you further. Please get back to me and I will help as best I can. Don't give up, yet!

What are you using the modem for? What's the Internet Services top speed? I have comcast plus boost running over 40 Wi - fi devices with no issues. If you are concerned, spend more for newer top of the line device.

Should be fine. This is a router not a modem. Routers don't care. Modems do. ;)

I have it with centurylink, actually had it. I scrapped it and purchased a netgear. It was useless for me.

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!

I tried the Uxcell cable box modem for a jack. It failed miserably and I should get a new modem/jack in the event it was malfunctioning.

Go with Netgear, it's approved for all those providers and easy to set up. Also neither Linksys or Cisco have anything to do with the modem, last 3 years manufactured by Belkon.

Comcast is not a big fan of when you have your modem. Yes, it was compatible, but Comcast after a few weeks stopped working and wanted to charge for technical service help. My advice... run while you still can (from Comcast, that is).

You should check with Mediacom, they may have a webpage that lists which modems work with their service. I use mine with Comcast and they have a webpage that lists all the compatible modems.

I actually have this modem, we started with Qwest, than of course it became Century Link. I have the 12Mbps speed, it works great on this modem.We are in Colorado. It runs 802.11b,g & n. If that helps any one?

I'm having the same issue. I tried plugging my laptop into the modem and the speed is ok (as far as I know there is no really speedy internet service in HI), but the wireless is really slow, even with my laptop plugged in to test it--and re. wireless, I'm in the same room. I'm trying to install a possible firmware update (I don't see a date on it so not sure if it's going to be an "upgrade"), but I cannot find the "Upgrade" button in "System Tools" I'm supposed to find. Emailed support today so we'll see what happens...Btw since this was some time back could you please tell us how your problem was handled? Thanks! I'm having the same issue.
