    Product Description
    With the next-generation SURFboard SB5101 cable modem, you're compatible with today's broadband Internet and ready for the future, too. When your cable service provider upgrades to a DOCSIS 2.0 network system, you'll surf the Internet at as much as 30 Mbps--3 times faster than earlier modems!

    With Ethernet and USB connectivity, installation couldn't be simpler (just follow these steps (PDF, 2 MB)). A convenient stand-by button provides hassle-free security by disengaging from the PC without disconnecting from the cable network. Troubleshooting is a breeze too, thanks to front panel status indicator LEDs and an online diagnostics page.

    Once you've experienced broadband powered by Motorola, you'll never want to go back to dial up again! Get onto the cable pipeline today with the powerful, convenient, flexible and simple to install SURFboard SB5101 cable modem.

    5 out of 5 stars Modem GREAT. Just don't buy from Amazon.   December 2, 2008
    K. T. Savage (USA)
    This is a great little modem that takes me all around the interweb zip zip. Just don't order it from Amazon. Their seller, NYC Electronics, shipped it out minus the all important power cord. When this happens as I discovered, no power on earth can get either Amazon or NYC Electronics to send a missing power cord.

    Eventually, it was not Amazon or NYC Electronics who made it right but Motorola who very kindly sent a power cord gratis. Bless Motorola. Boo Amazon and NYC Electronics.

    It was a month before I was able to finally power up the modem and put it to use.

    From now on I will limit my purchases from Amazon to CDs, DVDs and books.

    Works Well! installation was real easy, but requires talking to cox to update mac address, (no big deal 5 minute process).
    Amazon as usual hassle free!



    5 out of 5 stars Replaced 3COM and works Great   November 23, 2008

    This Motorola Surfboard SB5101 replaced a 3COM cable modem which I had for less than a year. The old cable modem was dropping the signal constantly. I called Comcast and they did diagnostics several times over the phone and came out to my house and found no issues with any of the wiring. Eventually I decided to replace the 3COM device with this one. WOW! what a difference that made. This unit has been rock solid since day 1. I am also seeing the benefits of PowerBurst with Comcast that I definitly was not seeing before. In talking with the Comcast support people this is one cable modem they give a thumbs up to.
