Comcast told us to get DOCSIS 3.0. Is this compatable? Now using Motorola SURFboard eXtreme Wireless Cable Modem. Will there be any issues?

I am using the exact same modem and I have xfinity internet service. I have no issues at all. Works perfect. Price compare with costco before you buy it.

This is not a modem, this is a router. You should get the difference clear and make sure you know what you need before you lay down any money.

I am not sure, have you checked with Netgear? I love the router, I use it with Clear wireless internet.

I understand it's 1.2 GHz which can coexist with docsis modems which are below 1 GHz. I've got a docsis modem and moca on the same coax cable and it works fine.

Yes, this device works is compatible with ANY DOCSIS certified cable ISP. The modem is DOCSIS 3.0 certified, which means it should work with any ISP that supports DOCSIS 3.0 or below. Simply contact your ISP to verify that this particular modem is supported. The "Comcast Only" excerpt was a typo from the old Linksys documentation where Linksys said itself, Linksys, guaranteed that it worked with Comcast. Since then, Cisco bought out Linksys and now produces this unit. Unfortunately, no one has corrected the error.

No you need DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. This is a DSL modem. You could plug it into a cable modem and use it as a router only as it has a LAN/WAN port.

If you have high speed internet and phone through Comcast, then this type of modem router (DOCSIS 3.0 with wireless N and phone jack) could be what you're looking for. The brand though, it depends on if Comcast supports Ubee. Some areas I've heard they do, you should double check on their website.

The SB5101 modem is no longer listed among "Approved devices"--but IS listed as "EOL" (End of Life)--usable but not recommended, though not YET as "End of Service" (EOS), no longer compatible with Comcast systems. They state that the EOL devices "will soon become EOL", but are not specific as to when. They state that security and other standards eventually make older modems obsolete, unable to handle faster data speeds and commonly less than secure.It's suggested users move to "DOCSIS 3.0" standard for present & future compatibility with Comcast (and presumably other carriers) The SB5101 modem is no longer listed among "Approved devices"--but IS listed as "EOL" (End of Life)--usable but not recommended, though not YET as "End of Service" (EOS), no longer compatible with Comcast systems.

I use Comcast. I made the mistake of thinking any Motorola Surfboard modem would work with Comcast since they listed a specific Motorola surfboard model. I was wrong. The one I bought was a Motorola Surfboard but not the one(s) Comcast listed.I found a site that lists Mediacom-compatible modems at http://www.elite-lists.com/2013/09/mediacom-cable-approved-modem-list.html. The Motorola SBV6220 Surfboard is not listed there.I have no experience with Mediacom.

I really do not for sure. I suggest you contact your provider. In my case, TWC has an approved list of modems and this one was on it. Even if it would work and your provider says they will not accept it, you will be out in the cold. My guess is that the modem would work with any cable system. It is a newer model with Docsis 3. It does have a coax connection. Hope this helps you. By the way, these modems are available on eBay. I picked another one for a best offer of $30 including shipping.

This is not DOCSIS 3. Comcast says it will work, but only for a period of weeks or months. I have to send it back based on this...

not all cable modems are 2way there exist 1way cable modems that use upload on a phone line and download on a coax cable and similar systems. this is an older technology, and not all cable modems that are DOCSIS 3.0 do DOCSIS 3.0 two way. some do DOCSIS 3.0 down and 2.0 up and vise versa. this modem listed is 2way and my comment was to just be a little more accurate on the other facts.

Yes this works fine with Comcast and Charter (or any cable internet company), but you can't use it with their telephone service (so if you sign up for internet and telephone you have to get a different model). This device is an all in one with included WiFi, which makes it a great small device that covers all your bases. It isn't DOCSIS 3.0, but that doesn't matter since Comcast speeds don't even reach the capacity of DOCSIS 2.0

Yes, absolutely.. although you should probably disable the Comcast wireless feature and hard-wire the modem to the router for best throughput. You might want to consider returning it to Comcast, though, and just invest in a new cable modem that's optimized for the AC features (DOCSIS 3.0).. unless the Comcast modem is already DOCSIS 3.0 capable. Note that DOCSIS 3.1 is due out in 2014, but I doubt you would want to wait that long.

It is 100% compatible with COMCAST, VOIP, internet and TV - crystal clear phone. DOCSIS 3.0. I have never seen anything install so rapidly and fully like real bread and butter. Unless COX is from the MOON and totally different than COMCAST cable ... I think you should experience the same satisfaction. The big trouble is finding this modem available anywhere. The full install and firmware upgrade took a full twenty minutes with COMCAST ... all automatic ... one mouse click.

Yes, if you don't want to buy filters to put around your house, just make sure your router has the DOCSIS 3.0 Firmware like the Motorola Surfboard Extreme SBG6782-AC DOCSIS 3.0, it has all in 1 device, it's pricey I'm not gonna lie to you, but it's a one time and there you are done, you can put as many MoCA adapters you want around your house, I have this device in my Living room and 3 one port in my rooms to stream my Roku boxes and it works great, grant it I have TWC 100mbps internet so your internet speed has to be good so you can stream with no lag.

This will do your routing and your LAN (your home part of your network), but you'll still need a cable modem. I just picked up a DOCSIS3 Motorola unit from Amazon, so I didn't have to rent anything from my cable/internet provider. They pay for themselves after a few months, so it's a worthwhile investment. This is the one I got: ARRIS SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Retail Packaging - Bllack Good luck with whichever route you decide to go!

I highly doubt it. This is for DSL service, which Comcast does not provide. Look for a DOCSIS 3 modem.

My Arris DG860A died after about 9 months. My cable guy recommended the Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem.
