what does the U stand for? what's the difference between SB5101 and SB5101U?

I believe it also has a USB port, as indicated from Motorola's spec sheet:# Optional Installation Assistant available (models SB5101U/UE) on CD-ROM guides you through installation on the PC# Optional 1.1 USB data port available (models SB5101U/UE)

"Operationally the Motorola SB5101 series modems are exactly the same as required by the CableLabs 1.1 & 2.0 DOCSIS certification. In late 2009 Motorola introduced the more cost effective SB5101N, that only has an ethernet RJ-45 port and removed the USB driver CD from the package. The SB5101U retained the USB 2.0 and Ethernet port and continued to include the USB driver CD and it's corresponding higher cost required because of the USB feature."

Just a bit more info... Here's what Motorola Tech Support says:The only difference between the SB5101 and the SB5101U is that the SB5101 has a standby button and the SB5101U does not. Otherwise, they are identical.

The standby switch puts the modem into "stanby mode." Essentially, it is not completey "off" in this state, but the RJ45 and USB interfaces are turned off, essentially disconnecting the computers/routers from the internet.I never found much use for it. It was mostly a nuisance, because I would bump it when working on things, and then lose my connections.I was relieved to find the button missing on the 5101U I use now.

You are absolutly right!! It will work just as fine.and about the Linksys Router it really does not matter what brand is the Router. The longest you have your cables in order, and follow the connection step by step, it should work properly.

I want to turn in my rental modem to Cox, their tech support states Cox Internet will work with the SB5101, so can I presume the "U" will work as well?ALSO, I'm using my Linksys router for my free VOIP phone (OBi110 & Google Voice), hopefully this will not interfere? Any answers would be appreciated.Thanks,Bill in AZ

I have the SB5101U and it does not have the standby switch. What would be the benefit of a standby switch?? By the way, the rental I returned to Comcast did have a standby switch. Is there a real danger in not having a standby switch??

They are fundamentally the same, but R stands for retail. It has a few less features and a shorter warranty. Go for the version without the "R and you will get a 5 year warranty and some more useful control features. I bought 2 of this one, but Amazon has it direct for a little less, but they charge tax in CA.

According to the ASUS specs list the U supports these additional VPN functions: OpenVPN server; PPTP client; L2TP client; OpenVPN client...while the R does not appear support these specific functions. Basically, the U software supports a few more VPN configurations.

From what I learned, they are both the same model. The U and the UA are identical. Only reason for the difference in suffix is for production tracking for different lots manufactured. Audiovox quality standards require strict monitoring for best performance of their electronics. My family enjoys our systems we purchased from them. They are great for the children. I like the fact that these in place systems don't have to be lugged around all the time. They are there when you need it. Also, no chance of fumbling with mounting and removal or dropping units and damaging them. We are very pleased. From what I learned, they are both the same model. The U and the UA are identical.

Bart I am finding nothing with the 527C230 number. Should the "5" be an "S"?

I don't know what you mean by that question. the better question is what mbps speed it can handle. this is a low speed modem, it won't handle speeds greater then 12 mbps. I had to go with the sb5101u. good luck.

I've had this modem for a long time and I have Comcast/Xfinity. However, I just looked at the approved device list on the Comcast website (http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/) and the SB5120 is no longer listed.

Ues. Just the color of the screen is different. All the hook ups will be the same

It is 2U. Measures 19" x 3.5" x 5/8" Box is labeled as part number "03859" in case the people reporting 1U are getting a different part.

I looked over the package I currently have and it says nothing about that. I have never heard those terms before. Now I am curious myself as to what the difference is...

A means it will work in North America and u means universal i.e. it will work across world. Example if you take D650a to INdia then Phone and text will work but Internet and Data plan will not work. If you take D650u then it will work completely

The differences I've found is 1) the SB6180 (and I'm guessing) seems like it may have been made for a particular provider (Cox?), 2) I've read that it may not be compatible with some providers (like Comcast), and 3) buying it used was much cheaper buying a used SB6141. I have RCN as a provider, I took a chance and it works fine.

Sorry I don't know what the difference is. I just know I needed the TZEMT400BB3NX for my alarm system.

NP700G7C-S01US use to indicate that it had Windows 7 on it. What it means now is beyond me because the specs are the same!
