We currently have a SB4200 Motorola Surfboard with our Time Warner service. Is this a comparable unit?

Yes, and it is a newer revision than the SB4xxx series. This works with Time Warner (and most US ISPs) for plans up to 38Mbps in speed. All TWC needs is the MAC address of the modem and you will be running in about 10 to 15 minutes!

I think you mean SB6180. The SB6180 is supposed to be sold only by ISP's. That is one difference. Performance is much different: SB6121: 172Mbps download / 131Mbps upload. SB6180: 300-343Mbps download / 131Mbps Upload. The speed capabilities of the modem's are quite different. I would purchase the SB6180 again without a second thought.

Don't know, but I was able to use it with Time Warner Cable internet. I just bought a cheap cable modem online and connected it to my tp link for a router.

Hello Mr. Bell - I'm not sure if there is any difference in the model, but I have been using with Time Warner Cable for quite some time & it's working absolutely fine. It's worth buying this instead of paying five bucks every month.

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:)

I don't have service with Time Warner but Alantic Broadband which is a similar company and it works with them. Yes it has phone jack.

Sorry. I can not answer that question. I just do not know. I sent the damn thing back because Time Warner Cable would not let me use phone side of the modem. Sorry.

It works perfectly with Time Warner! I got one for the last place and lived in because the Ubee they gave us didn't have a reliable connection and the range was low. This one worked perfectly. I bought another for a smaller place I moved to recently and this one is just as awesome and easy to set up. Enjoy!

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.

It's the same one time warner uses, so I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible

The SB5101 and SB5101U ARE different modems. The U edition is a revision of the 5101 series. It has different hardware, stripped down, and is not compatible currently with most ISPs in the US. I highly recommend going with the SB5101 instead.

I don't know what you mean by that question. the better question is what mbps speed it can handle. this is a low speed modem, it won't handle speeds greater then 12 mbps. I had to go with the sb5101u. good luck.

Just a bit more info... Here's what Motorola Tech Support says:The only difference between the SB5101 and the SB5101U is that the SB5101 has a standby button and the SB5101U does not. Otherwise, they are identical.

It did not work for my Motorola Surfboard. Can't really help with the quality of the e device

I'm sorry. I did buy one but it was not compatable with Time Warner, so I had to return it.

Joe, couldn't tell you for sure if anything would be different. I went from Verizon DSL to Suddenlink and they gave me the SB5101n to use. I'm just running internet only and not phone, TV and internet. Honestly I'd just hook it up, see what happens, and enjoy the speed. If you're still in doubt, ask TW if it will work on their system. Good luck !
