Reliable Cable Modem
Small footprint. Very easy setup. Modem status and diagnostics available. No dropped connections.
Nothing major.
Posted 1 year ago - I bought this modem to replace a dead Motorola cable modem. I needed it quick that day and the local Best Buy store had it on the shelf. (As it was the ONLY cable modem on the shelf I was sort of stuck, but I knew Linksys made decent products so I went with it.) I was surprised when I took it out of the box as it was so small, only about 4.5" x 4.5" and 1" thick. This worked out great as I placed it in a spot just behind my LCD monitor which freed up some desk space. Followed the setup instructions, called Cox Cable to get it registered and I was up and running. The hold time on the phone far exceeded the actual install time. The startup time of this modem is much faster than the Motorola. I was used to seeing green lights and an amber "link" light on the Motorola, but all the lights on the Linksys are green. Just a minor learning detail that I'm used to now. Upload/Download speed is as good or better than the Motorola. It also runs much cooler, just barely warm to the touch. I definitely would recommend this modem if you're in the market for a new one.
