Excellent price especially as seeing as comcast pushed an update [comcast.com] on my current DOCSIS 3.0 device(SBG 6580) which disables its ability to act as a stupid bridge like this device.
Buying this and putting mine on ebay! With coupon and tax it comes to $50.70 for me thanks person with coupon code, repped. Last edited by cyrusfox; 11-09-2012 at 07:45 AM.. |

Does anyone know if Docsis 3.0 is required for comcast service? I've still got an old 2.0 Ambit modem that I'd like to use if possible. I'll be getting 30 meg service. Can 2.0 even handle that? I have an installer coming out saturday to run wires in my attic.

I have one of these running on Comcast right now and have had zero issues with it. Bought it through the same refurb deal a couple months ago. These originally had major issues staying connected but Comcast pushed through a firmware update for them that took care of that.

One amazon reviewer [amazon.com] says that this worked on Time Warner Cable:

It seems this modem has a history of dropping connection. The amazon top comment and third comment [amazon.com] is neither company will support with the new firmware and will drop connections routinely on comcast connection. I would be wary of buying it

Bought it, been getting those calls from comcast because they upgraded our area so i've been yearning for that 50Mbps +
Lets hope theres no issues and i can retire my reliable docsis 2.0 surfboard

I got this last go around. I did have reboot issues and drops, even with the newest available firmware. did some searching and found some useful info. Seems the cisco is very sensitive to too much signal strength downstream and maybe other factors such as noise etc. Older coax cabling / bent cabling will not help. I moved to a newly installed jack, put on a coax surge protector and has been fine since. Just trying to save others time who maybe have this or will buy it. in short, while it was on crappy old wiring with too much noise it would barely connect, but on new quad shield with attenuator ( i think splitters do the same thing) it was fine.
