    Started out good....

    This modem did exactly what it was designed to do - provided fast internet connectivity and allowed me to stop renting a Mediacom modem. However after 6 months we started to notice a chemical burning smell coming from the modem. We also found that it was very hot to the touch when going long periods without a reboot. We returned it for a different one of the same model. Again we started having the same experience 6-9 months later with the second one. We wound up using a netgear router instead and so far so good (knock on wood...)

    It just works. It took roughly 12 hours for Time Warner's system to recognize the new modem and update, but after that my speed and connection was better than ever.

    Tired of paying Comcast for their modem? Then by this one and it will pay for itself. It will still be operational in the future when they roll out speed increase again.

    We like the user-friendly lights on the modem letting us know if we are connected to the Internet or not. Worked great right out of the box... minimal setup time.

    Came quickly. I did not realize I needed an Ethernet attachment to set it up and my Mac does not have one. I sent for one and increased my interned speed as well. Waiting for dedicated quiet time in order to complete setup.

    No issues with all here. Replaced the Comcast modem I was overpaying for, for years, and this did the trick to unlock that speed. Good price too.

    My original router from TWC decided to give up the ghost, so I decided it was time to buy my own. This modem works better then the standard modem they provide.

    I was changing from Frontier to TWC and needed to replace my internet modem/router. I already was using an Apple TimeCapsule as a wifi router, so I only needed to capture the signal from Time Warner. This modem easily handles my 200 mbps internet speed.
