I have had the modem for about a month so far. No problems as of yet and works great with Comcast service. Only issue I had was a defective power cord, but I got that taken care of.

I purchased this modem so I would not need to continue paying Comcast the monthly "rental charge". It runs well and has been trouble-free for a couple of months now.

Arrived on time and worked exactly as it should. Takes 5 minutes to set up with your local ISP.

 "Helpful Hints for the Motorola 5101" 2009-04-25
By Senior (Grass Valley, CA)

I bought the Motorola Surfboard 5101 a couple of weeks ago on Amazon. Think they must have gotten a new vendor because the price was about $15 cheaper and there were hundreds of reviews for this cable modem.



I just wanted to point out some things that I picked up from the other reviews. I am a Comcast customer and I wanted to avoid paying the $3/month rental charge for their RCA modem. When I connected the 5101 even though I had all green lights I still had no internet connection. That is because you have to call Comcast and tell them your new MAC ID number that is shown on the modem. This is not pointed out anywhere in the instructions. The Comcast tech did not ask for my serial number. After a few minutes he made the change and said everything was OK.



I rebooted the modem and computer but I still could not connect to the net. I remembered from other reviews that it takes about ten or fifteen minutes for the change to take place. After 15 minutes I rebooted everything and I had my internet connection.



Also there is no mention that the 5101 works with Vista. Thought I might have to download some drivers but I didn't. It works just fine with Vista.



After two weeks the 5101 modem has been working with no problems. I do use that Standby button when I am not connected to the net just because all those green lights are a distraction.



Hope this helps.
