For those using Comcast 25Mbps +, once you have a stable configuration, how often does the modem need a reboot? What is your speedtest.net report?

Don't need to reboot. So far, it's been a few months and all signal and speed was stable. I got Comcast Blast and it's 50+ Mbps all the time.

Hi, mine only reboot once and the speedtest.net report between 25 and 30Mbps, sometimes even more. Good luck with yours.

I have had this router for a week and have had trouble with speed degradation. My internet download speeds drop from 20Mbps down to 3-5 Mbps almost on a dailly basis. If I reboot the router it goes right back to 20Mbps. I also have had the router reset completely on it's own, loosing all of the configuration. settings. All in all I'm pretty disappointed and am not happy with this unstable and unreliable device.

I bought one for the same reason - to save the $8/month to Comcast. After many hours and many calls, a tech (not Comcast!), told me that it would never work properly for all three functions - cable, phone & internet. He said their modems have some firmware that is proprietary but they will delight it. Long story short: pay Comcast the $8 and "Enjoy" it!

I had a Belkin router for years and had no trouble with it. When I switched to Cox, I had to reboot the router around 5 times a day. It was in another room from the computer and was a real nuisance. Cox suggested a new router. I bought the Netgear router a few months ago and have not had to reboot once since. That is the only obvious difference to me.

I have not noticed any time to warm up. I"m amazed at the high quality sound I get . I hope it has a long useful life. Some things like my Century Link Modem contains a chip that causes the modem to fail when server format is changed. I hope this is not a future trend in electronics. I have to pay $180 per year to replace modems which have been programmed by my ISP to fail.

I have comcast and this modem works fine for me.....but they keep asking me to change it and purchase the newer model which can accept higher speeds. Unless you are paying for a top internet speed from your provider you don't need the upgrade to this modem. This is a DOCSIS 2.0 modem and the newer one is the DOCSIS 3.0 modem....with a higher price. I guess this item is the "older" one but it works well with many providers (I've been told) and it's definately easy to set up. I'd check out both modems and see if the upgrade is something you want or need.

My experience is around 12-15 secs delay giving the internet speed with Comcast of 6 Mbps download and 28.85 Mbps uploads.

Hi, this model is on the Comcast approved equipment list. I'm using Comcast too, but currently I'm experiencing difficult time with this setup. It is not consistent/reliable in the speed for some unknown reason. It can be very fast when it works properly but later the speed will drop almost to a halt. Very frustrating and have called Comcast multiple times, but as of today, the problem still exists.

Ummm sounds like technogibberish to me . all cable modems are 2-way. They have to be. Now the question is does it meet the docs is 3.0 standard? Yes it does. You will be able to Get >300mbps down and ~120mbps up.

That is complete b.s. I have been using a TM722g in the San Mateo area for over a year. I have screaming fast internet speeds via Comcast (120mbps) and no monthly equipment fees. From day one it has worked flawlessly and there have been no issues whatsoever.

NO.. Actually I sent this modem back. I did replace it, however, with a "TELEPHONY" modem that is just like the one I was renting from Comcast. I didn't realize my error in reviewing this item until after I hit ENTER. sorry

I have not experienced this but I use 1.05. Check to see if your LAN speed itself is also fluctuating to isolate the problem.

You could call their customer service, look at their web site. I got charter, 30mps, never had a problem. If I were to guess, it would be about a 2 meg connection

I actually have this modem, we started with Qwest, than of course it became Century Link. I have the 12Mbps speed, it works great on this modem. We are in Colorado. It runs 802.11b,g & n. If that helps any one?

It's working with Comcast for me at this moment, has been for two months now. Comcast does have a new speed standard, called DOCSIS 3.0, and this router is DOCSIS 2.0. Regarding this Comcast says, "...DOCSIS 2.0 modems will still work with our speed tiers (except for Blast! and Extreme 50), but you won't experience the blistering fast speeds now available." However, "blistering fast speed" is more in the mind of the marketing department than in reality. Once you have around 5megs of download speed (Comcast provides more than that) "blistering" becomes unnoticeable. Still, if you have Blast! or Extreme 50, apparently this modem won't do the job.

Comcast told us and another friend the same thing. We didn't change and our internet works fine. Our friend upgraded to a leased Comcast box and her internet got worse.

Get a better internet connection and use a Ethernet wired connection to go on-line (no WiFi). Had the exact same issues until I discovered that my standard Time Warner standard internet connection was barely able to keep up with the HD bandwidth requirement and my WiFi signal was only average due to the router being on the other end of the house. This resulted in many frequent video breakups and rebuffering episodes, which was annoying to say the least and discouraged watching online content. Broke down and pulled CAT6 cabling throughout the house, and upgraded Time Warner to Turbo level to get close to 20Mbs vs. the standard 10Mbps. A one time pain, but it makes all the difference in the world. Will never go back to using WiFi again except for basic web surfing on the laptop. Also, using the right router can make or break the difference. I got rid of my Time Warner provided WiFi integrated router to a dedicated Cisco small business router. Huge difference, and can now run gigabit, which far exceeds the requirement of what my Samsung TV & BluRay requires.
