    Great little unit. I replaced an older Docsis 2.0 Motorola surfboard with this and am very pleased with the results. Performance is great. The only negative point I have is that the blue LEDs on the front of the unit are extremely bright, lighting up my living room at night.

    Purchased this item to go along with a new router system we were getting. The cost was economical and the size is great and fits comfortably on the office desk without taking up a lot of space. Our internet is working great since our purchase of the modem with the router system. I would highly recommend this modem.

    Just bought this Modem about a month ago from Best Buy and we like it so far! It was easy to set up and the internet speeds have been fast. I bought it because I have had good luck with Motorola Modems and was told that this one was quite reliable. I would recommend it!

    I purchased this modem about one month ago for two reasons. One was to replace the Cable modem that is old and beginning to fail. The second reason was this unit has great reviews. It was easy to install and has been working like a champ. Very pleased with this purchase and I'm no longer leasing the old modem from the cable company!!

    This modem works perfectly. It will pay for itself in about a year, because the cable company charges for renting theirs.

    I chose the least expensive model available. Lot's of technical jargon provided by staff as to why I should buy the more expensive model. This one was easy to set up and it works. I used it to replace my comcast modem that I was paying a monthly rental for. This one seems better than the comcast modem and it is about 1/3 the size.
