Motorola - N450 N Router with 8 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Black

Purchased a month ago and working well so far. Hoping it will last a couple of years at least to recoup my costs versus paying the rental to the cable company. Smaller and lighter than the one from the cable company but has the same amount of ports and wireless capability. You have to call the cable company to have the modem initialized and in my case they were very cooperative.

Packing was superb. Connected Motorola N450 and straight away got ONLINE! without any issues whatsoever. No more going into the IP/network settings, no more compatibility issue. No more over-heating. No more 10$ extra per month to the providers. A long-term solution. a sturdy product.Go for it!

I really like it. It works great!!! Hooked it up and had internet within minutes. Glad I bought it

I read the views, information was lacking, Need to register with your carrier. I did register on line but it was rejected the Modem, So went to our carrier and they troubleshooting it and found out the anther account and put my number of the modem in. Now it fixed and we are flying. No complaints from the hard gamer.

decent modem/router for the price. management interface is ok

No problem with this modem setting up or using on in home WiFi system - easy to set up and good signal through out the house better speed than the rental xfinity modem & no unknown ‘public hotspot’ & saves that retail fee every month!!!

After years of paying the cable company for a WiFi Router I found an opportune time to reduce my cable bill. Living in a rural area with very limited over air TV options. I was in a position to sign on to a cable option with no 2 year commitment that included internet. The Motorola - N450 was one of the options I considered for a WiFi Router. I chose this because of the Motorola name and it resembled the units I had from the cable company as well as being a more updated model. After purchasing the unit I carried it into the local cable company office and they registered the equipment for my account. Went home plugged it in and was up and running in a short time. One month no problems, and I will break even in about 7 or 8 months versus paying the cable company.

So, I had a debacle with this modem/router that had absolutely nothing to do with the product itself, which I'll detail below. The product itself is amazing, works like a charm for it's purpose--two CPUs hooked up via Ethernet cable get 200+Mbps. WiFi is consistent, but we have Comcast, so how consistent could it possibly be, anyway. However--speaking of Comcast--be very aware that if you call them to have an agent set it up for your internet service (it's a Comcast certified modem/router)--they may turn you down and tell you that it's not available for use per the model number, or that it's not actually certified at all--that's what I was told the first time I called. I had to call twice to get an agent who knew what they were doing and who took care of it for me, it's all set up under Comcast and we're looking to return our provided Modem with no issues, continuing to use this one. So just know if you have Comcast, be prepared to deal with the potential issues that may come with that, but otherwise, it works great. 5/5 anyway, because it details specifically how to hook up this router/modem onto specific cable services in the manual and everything. It's a great router, just an absolutely terrible cable/internet company.
