Can I buy this item, plug it into my computer, place it near a window and finally get rid of Time Warner Cable internet service?

I didn't have much luck with it... definitely did not have the range it reported...it did pull in a couple sigbals by moving it around just not any open signals

Yes, you can do this, if you are within range of Wifi or someone with internet service that will give you their password to log on too. I live in RV parks, and other places, and without my antenna, I wouldn't have service. At this very moment, I am running off the office secure system, but they gave me the password. This antenna is very simple to use. It does come with a dvd disc that you have to download for the app. It is compatiable with windows 7 or 8.

This is exactly what I just did :) As long as there is a connection without a password 1-2 miles around you, your good :) Best investment ever.

You have to be able to grab an open wifi or have someone that you can get their password to hit their wifi

Only if you have a free WiFi hotspot nearby. I use this while traveling in an RV. Most RV Parks provide free WiFi (secured with a code) and I point it at the WiFi hotspot in the RV park for better reception.

No it's not. This was a model sold wholesale to Time Warner Cable and while it might sorta work on Comcast, it's not compatible with their "Blast!" service so you'd top out at able 6 Mbs I got this a few weeks ago to use with Comcast and it was a disaster. Ended up with a Netgear N600 instead.

Yes. In fact it may be required even if you do have cable. Time Warner here went to all encrypted which Simple.tv can't handle.

Yes. That is exactly what I use it for. It was easy to set up. Just call Comcast as soon as you get it. Works great.

Yes it worked with Time Warner. You need to call them and they will reset from the one removed.

I don't see why you would want to get rid of it. You simply don't have to use it. You can use the cable it comes with and connect it to your computer. The majority of printers comes with wireless capabilities these days. It's a nice option to have.

Yes. That is the service I use although I plan on canceling TWC very soon though :-) But yes, this modem is the exact modem that TWC uses (one of them anyways)

I don't have time warner,but it works it sends IPAD Screen to TV, older Ipads, my kids are the one who use it the most.

You should be able to use the modem regardless of what level of cable TV service. Internet service is separate.

Get a better internet connection and use a Ethernet wired connection to go on-line (no WiFi). Had the exact same issues until I discovered that my standard Time Warner standard internet connection was barely able to keep up with the HD bandwidth requirement and my WiFi signal was only average due to the router being on the other end of the house. This resulted in many frequent video breakups and rebuffering episodes, which was annoying to say the least and discouraged watching online content. Broke down and pulled CAT6 cabling throughout the house, and upgraded Time Warner to Turbo level to get close to 20Mbs vs. the standard 10Mbps. A one time pain, but it makes all the difference in the world. Will never go back to using WiFi again except for basic web surfing on the laptop. Also, using the right router can make or break the difference. I got rid of my Time Warner provided WiFi integrated router to a dedicated Cisco small business router. Huge difference, and can now run gigabit, which far exceeds the requirement of what my Samsung TV & BluRay requires.

I don't know since I live in California and using Time Warner Cable Service. Check with your local tech service.

It may have worked in the past, but it no longer works with Time Warner if your internet service is 30mbps or higher.Once you connect to a modem or computer it will shut down and restart repeatedly. Buy it at your own risk.

no-i had to send mine back and bought what was recommended at Best Buy. That is the internet service I have and time warner is particular because they want you to rent their box which is probably cheaper:)

From what I can find it will work fine with Time Warner. There is a u-tube video on it here www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEZk7NNCtj4 which states it will work. There is also a model SB5101U which has USB out in addition to standard Ethernet to the computer. There is also some good information on these modems here http://moto.arrisi.com/Video-Solutions/US-EN/Products-and-Services/Voice-and-Data-Consumer-Premise-Equipment/DOCSIS-Modems-Gateways-and-eMTAs/Cable-Modems/SB5101_US-EN?localeId=33 which will provide the specs. for the modems. Hope it helps and it has been a fine modem for my daughter at her apartment. From what I can find it will work fine with Time Warner.

You want to add a POE Filter to the cable that comes into your apartment. It stops the MOCA signal from leaving your place. Would also improve your signal as well. Don't believe the other two understood what you meant. It's about neighbors putting a moca adapter on their coax and hooking into your internet setup. The POE filter would prevent that by going on the line that is coming into your place. It's cheap:Filter, MoCA "POE" Filter for Cable TV Coaxial Networking ONLY

I bought an used one for less than ten dollars. Works perfectly for my Time Warner Cable here in NY. I think if you buy an exact same model it should work- but you might want to call your broadband service provider first.And yes, I'm using 15 Mbps too.

I work for Time Warner Cable and have installed many of these. There is something wrong with your set up. Call customer service for help with it. These are great devices.
