 Motorola Cable Modem SB5101 September 4, 2010
M. Dorin
I am not an expert on cable modems and I have only had this product for about one month, so I can't comment on the technical features of the product compared to other cable modems on the market. I purchased this modem because my ISP did not provide a free modem with the installation of new internet service and I did not want to rent for $5/month, figuring that I'd pay off this one in less than a year of rental of their modem. The technician who installed the internet service plugged this modem in and it functioned flawlessly right out of the box with no setup required. My ISP does not use static IP, but rather the address is different each time I log on, so I can say that this modem functions with no problems under those conditions. My download speed is rated by the ISP at 1MB/sec and I have had no problems with speed or other issues when connected directly to my Apple MacBook Pro. I have not yet installed the wireless router (Airport Extreme), but I don't expect problems there either. All in all, the product appears to be easy to use and I have had no surprises or technical issues at this point, one month into it's life. If you have to purchase your own cable modem, this would probably do the job for you. I should caution that if your download speed is very high, you might want to buy Motorola Surfboard SB5101 Cable Modem this on a trial basis to make sure it will handle the very fast speeds.
Great! August 27, 2010

I replaced my Charter provided 10 year old Motorola Surfboard with this one about a month ago. Charter recognized it immediately and all I had to do was provide them with some information online and it's been running perfectly ever since. Idiot proof installation!
 Product crapped out after 5 minutes August 22, 2010

Connected it up. I worked with internet provider to get it registered. Powered on. Got the internet. It worked for five minutes and then dropped the internet. It would re-establish it periodically and hold it for a minute or two and then lose it again.
