AOL HIGH SPEED DSL MODEM AND START UP KIT-BROADXENT MODEM MODEL # 8012U Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Seattlbooks50. When I
purchased this modem from Amazon they sent an email saying it could
be as much as 15 business days before the product would be delivered.
I contacted the seller Seattlebooks50 and requested as quich a delivery
as possible. Not only did they ship on the day they received my plea,
but they upgraded my delivery to Priority Mail at their expense! One
does not encounter this kind of response from a business outlet. In
my book Seattlebooks50 is definitely a 5 star supplyer.

RCA DCM315R 30Mbps Cable Modem Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)---------UPDATE: 10-23-2010----------
After 4 years of solid service, I replaced this particular RCA DOCSIS 2.0 modem with a new DOCSIS 3.0 modem (a motorola surfboard 6120).
The RCA provided almost 365/24/7 service during those 4 years.
I say "almost" 365/24/7, because I turned it off during extended periods of time away from home, like when I went on vacation and turned off all PC's and the modem.
It's still worked, when I donated it to a a local charity.
==================================================
Sidenote on the new surfboard 6120: The DOCSIS 3.0 motorola is unbelievable in data transfer rates/speed. I actually MUST turn it off occasionally, otherwise I would exceed the monthly data limit imposed by comcrap. I share several flavors of LINUX in ISO file format, plus some linux based security ISO's like
Backtrack 4 and such. The SB6120 will easily move 10-20 Gig of data every day.
=================================================
--END of 10-23-2010 Update to original DCM315R review-------------------
Original review:
No more $3.00 a month rental fee for me.
After going through 4 "comcast rental" modems in less than a year
(3 motorola surfboards + a terayon) I have had it with
comcrap modems.
Sidenote: comcrap HSI cable modem:
It takes about 3-5 days on average to get back online after a modem dies.
[Comcrap wants to send a tech out to troubleshoot the line, but they want to do it from 1PM to 5PM, the same time that I am at work. It does not work out for me. I'm not taking time off work for someone to troubleshoot what I already KNOW is wrong; the modem.
In a best case scenario, I have to take off work early, to even get into town and just drop off the old modem and pickup a new one].
The RCA modem:
I contacted comcrap to give them my new MAC hardware adderss, for the RCA modem.
It took all of about 15 minutes; to have them enter my mac address into their system and to get me up and running.
I like the modem.
PROS:
1. The INTERNET ON/OFF button saves me from having to toggle my software firewall ON and OFF.
2. software setup is super simple. Device is seen by XP home edition and driver is installed without any problems.
3. The "DAN ELWELL Speed test" seems to be just as fast as my old motorola and/or terayon.
4. the PRICE was right. On 7-8-2006 Radioshack B&M had them for
$29 (regularly 79.99) but WAIT. The price rang up as only
$19.99, NOT the $29.99 on the stoer sign.
Totally Excellent deal.
I bought two. One to use and a spare.
5. Setup/install -one of the fastest and easiest devices to install.
CONS:
1. What happened to RCA's online registration and support?
Concerning these cable modems?
I had a hard time finding the online place to register.
2. Perhaps they (RCA) sold off their cable modem division; who knows.Conclusion:
I like the modem better than either the motorola surfboard or terayon.
I am NOT an online gamer, so I cannot address that issue.
Nor conclude whether the RCA is better or worse for online gaming.

Verizon 701C Modem Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not for beginners. Easy to set-up but it will leave security holes and you have to know how to deal with that. Comes with Verizon firmware - so Actiontech support will send you to Verizon support and viceversa.
Actiontech "tech" support is overseas-based, script-reading, using barely understandable English. They have NO knowledge of the product, settings and configuration. You can ask and explain as much as you like, you will get the same answer from the script and nothing else.
Can't find a setting to disable answering to PING from WAN side - and according to tech support you can't do that as per Verizon request (?!).
This is of course wrong. Firewall in High setting will block PINGs from WAN side but you have to configure manually the ports - a major headache.
So: - hard/impossible to configure, no tech support that you can speak of (and giving wrong info at that), leaves security holes that you have to know how to plug, has the added limits of the Verizon firmware.
Verizon customers: - BEFORE installing this modem release your IP address (do ipconfig/release). After you install you will have the DSL connection but will can't access the Internet - you still have to access http:/192.168.1.1/restricted/verizon and use the on/off button to get connected = so you can access the Internet. If you call Verizon tech support (because you can't connect) they will tell you to do that.
Another note for Verizon users: west coast users and east coast users have different settings! Just because you find on some forum/review/post Verizon settings does not necessarily mean that is applicable to you.
For WEST coast: DCHP=Yes, IP dynamic=Yes ;
Detail settings see below:
Verizon DSL (CA state),
VPI=0, VCI=35,
MAC encapsulation=Yes
Routing=LLC/SNAP Bridging,
Obtain IP Address Automatically,
Connection type=MER,
Service name=mer_0_35(default),
Servicd category=UBR(UBRw/oPCR),
Service state=NAT,
Firewall=enabled,
IGMP Multicast,
Quality of service=disabled,
user/password=admin/admin to start.
Hope that this helps.

(More customer reviews)I use RCN broadband and this modem is rock solid. It has never locked up on me, and does not require frequent reboots. About once a month or so I'll cycle the power on it just because my cable provider says to do so. But I have absolutely no complaints about the modem itself. I've had it for 2 years, and never had any troubles with it.

WESTELL INFOSPEED DSL MODEM BELL ATLANTIC MODEL B90-36R515-01 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used this modem since DSL came out, I still use it.
It's built like a tank and probably fair to say that it's better than using a new dsl modem. Also, there is no router inside, which is good. There is no complicated settings, you merely hook this up to a router.
There is no USB port. Simply hook this up to the wan port of a router.
I have used this modem 24/7 for more years then I can count.

Leviton 47605-28W SMC Structured Media Enclosure with Cover, 28-Inch, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like most others have found in renovating an older home, the myriad of wiring in this house looked like a circus act gone bad. The timing could not have been better when given the opportunity to test the Leviton 47605 Media Box. Here are my thoughts.
Out of the box, I noticed immediately that this unit's interior is prime time 20 gauge steel. The screw mounted cover is 18 gauge steel. Weighing in at 17lbs its not one of those light weight knock offs by any means. It measures in at 29.32"H x 15.62"W x 3.68"D. I like the fact that it can be surface mounted or installed in a recessed cutout. I like the mounted tab feature. The tabs prevent the unit from falling through the studs during installation. There are multiple knockouts on both top and bottom for easy cable routing. The cutout in the base allows for mounting single and double J boxes and power modules.
As others know from working in older properties, installation is not going to be a one and done thing. Its all about location, location and location. Another is having the right tools for the job. The plastic punch down tool that comes with the box isn't going to make the job easier. Besides a drill or saw (depending on your choice of mounting) a wire stripper, plugs, punchdown tool, crimper and cable tester are needed. Once I found the spot, it easily installs with a nice clean fit into the drywall. Running Cat6 lines throughout an older home had its usual hiccups but in the end it was great to have one central organized point of distribution. After all is done, one thing is obvious. This unit is roomy.
If there was an improvement to made on the Leviton 47605 Media Box it would be to option for a hinged cover vice the screw mounted variety. Other then that Leviton is a name to remember when it comes to quality home and office installations. This box will last a lifetime.

Zoom CableModem 5241 - Cable modem - external - USB / Ethernet - 42 Mbps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used previosly the modem model 5041 over 5 years already. There were issues with connection at first time, but it was solved when I called to my provider (Comcast by the way). Since then I never had any problems with this equipment. I would keep it till it die of the old age but on Dec 14 2009 Comcast upgraded its network so I had to pick new modem from their approved list of modems for 3 days before of marked day. I checked reviews and picked the ZOOM 5241. I have wireless router (linksys 54G) connected to my 5241.
What did I do for setup.
1. Unplugged old modem from power, coaxial and router,
2. Plugged new modem 5241 to his power adapter, coaxial cable and router (with RJ45 connector),
3. Lunched Internet browser (Firefox or IE),
4. I got Comcast page with instructions automatically (It wouldn't let go for another until setup is done),
5. Followed technician instructions (which not require any special skills),
6. Entered my current account number and Comcast shown me all my data including physical and mac addresses. I did not plug in directly from modem to PC. At first Comcast did not pass linksys. I just ignored it and "run diagnostic" (which is just a button) again. Everything was set up automatically. After too reboots I got perfect connections wire and wireless.
Downloading speed jumped up dramatically.
PS. One week later.
Zoom 5241 works now with renewed Comcast network very good. However once I lost connection but because of the my LinkSys 54G wireless router. After I hit reset button on it I got all my connections back. So it was a linksys issue. Right now Zoom + Linksys work flawlessly. And I noticed that downloading speed went up about 10 times faster (Limewire from 15-24 Kbs to 200-500 Kbs - 250 average).
Well 5041 is useless for Comcast IP for today anyway but 5241 works perfect. I picked mine in Fry's Electronics with described above characteristics for $54.
Good luck

D-Link DCM-201 USB/Ethernet Cable Modem, DOCSIS 1.1 Certification Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to have a cable modem that was provided by my cable company but I didn't want to pay the monthly lease fee anymore so I went out and bought this D-Link Cable Modem. I wasn't sure what all I had to do to get it to work, but when I asked a more computer knowledgable friend he said I just needed to plug it in and it will automatically configure itself.
So that's all I did. I called my cable company and told them I'd be switching modems, they wanted some long number off the back of the modem and said I was all set to go. So I plugged in the coax cable on the modem and plugged in the power. Within the next 10 seconds I was connected tot he Internet again.
Very easy.

Motorola DOCSIS External Cable Modem (SB4100) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was standard issue for the now defunct Excite@Home. I received this cable modem when I signed up for Excite@Home and still use it now that I'm on another cable service.
The small form-factor leaves a narrow, tiny footprint on a desk and the base is wide enough to make it stable and balanced.
The LEDs flash to show activity and a combination of different lights (read the manual) helps when trouble-shooting connectivity problems with your ISP. I've been using this for over a year and it functions great and hasn't let me down.

D-Link DCM-202 DOCSIS 2.0 USB/Ethernet Cable Modem Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this cable modem when I moved into my new apartment because it would be cheaper than renting one from Comcast in the long run. Everything worked fine for about a month, but then I wouldn't be able to connect to anything outside of my local network. Comcast technical support said that from their end it didn't look like anyting was connecting to their network, and my router could release and renew its IP address, so that narrowed it down to the cable modem. Unplugging the modem and plugging it back in would make it work again for 30-45 minutes at a time, but it would cut out at random without warning.
I downloaded and installed new firmware from d-link's website that was specifically for Comcast customers and everything seems to be working ok again, but I know a lot of non-technical people who wouldn't be comfortable doing that. If you are a technically unsaavy person and use comcast, you may want to purchase another cable modem all together.

Haxorware also has the most advanced features of any current firmware. The web interface is clean and easy-to-use, and the web shell works flawlessly. New versions of the firmware can be easily upgraded via the web interface. This firmware is also known to work on many other modems with the Broadcom bcm3349 processor including the Ambit U10C018, RCA DCM425, Webstar DPC2100R2 and DPC2100R1 w/ bcm3349 chipset.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This modem worked perfectly, but I wanted to warn customers in Pennsylvania that it is illegal to buy this modem as Comcast has exclusive rights in this state. Pennsylvania customers are forced to lease this modem from Comcast and cannot purchase it either from Comcast or other vendors. The vendor I bought this from, MGI Warehouse, did not inform me of this and I ended up having to return it to them and therefore losing money due to shipping costs. Amazon also did not inform me of this.
So before purchasing this item please call Comcast and make sure it is okay in your state to buy this from another vendor.

RCA Digital Cable Modem (DCM245R) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a couple years we had one of those rental units from the CATV Company. When we found out that under the rental agreement, if it broke they had the right to charge us way too much cash for replacement, it was time to get our own unit. In rental fees alone, the RCA paid for itself in less than a year. The cable company itself has gone away from the expensive units of the past, and uses a black, lay-down only version of the RCA modem.
The RCA model here can be used as an upright (which is the way we use it), or attach the rubber feet, and use it as a lay-down model. It features either USB connection, or the standard Ethernet. I have an older computer running Windows 98SE, and the generic Ethernet card did not seem to work. The USB option works well, and is a nice option. It also features a rear reset, and a front on-off button. One feature that's hard to appreciate if you didn't know about it is the placement of the cable connector. On the old rental unit it was high in the middle, and even with the large modem size it would sometimes tip the modem if the cable were disturbed. RCA places their connection right near the bottom when used in the upright position. This not only alleviates the problem with our old rental unit, but also helps prevent tipping of the much lighter RCA unit.
We have used the RCA unit now for several months, and find it performs as well or better, than the old expensive rental unit. If we could ask for anything more (hence the four stars), we'd like units to show a simple display of the current connection speed, and activity. We realize this is available in software, but its nice to see it before attempting a download connection, or accessing Internet monitors. Currently the RCA unit flashes in response to changing speeds, but we'd like to see a simple numerical indication. As more CATV high-speed connections are installed, overall speed will decline. In the future, we'd like to try and hit the best times for fast downloads. Even over a CATV modem, a recent download of OS updates for my fathers Mac, took a few hours to complete. Now that video, media, and other files are getting ever bigger; its nice to know what speeds can be obtained.
