cheap way to get a backup power adapter!

had a previous modem go out over night and turned out to be power adapter which had an extra from backup modem.

oh snap! you can get a used 8200 for $45, cheaper then i got mine a couple of years back.

I stumbled across a SB8200 at goodwill otherwise I'd be all over this. I was still rocking a SB6120 😂

The chip has a serious hardware fault. It cannot be fixed in software. Do not buy. It's a joke (like intel itself) and will disconnect randomly on top of being shit.

The Puma cannot be fixed. But at $9, maybe it is worth it for a backup.

I had a bunch of people call me bitching about charter's (spectrum) free supplied modem. Surprise, puma chipset! I had them buy a Broadcom surfboard and not one single issue afterwards.
Cheap ass telcos getting that trash for free. Ain't no way anyone paying for that chipset.

Firmware fix that promises to fix the issue? So like the throw back Samsung Captivate mobile phone where the GPS never worked? Lol. I'm good.

I had it, If you are just using internet for email, web browsing or streaming this will serve you well, if you are playing online games then DO NOT BUY this because of the lag you will experience. I had to replace it with 1 older generation model SB6183 so our kids can play online games.

Of course i read about the hardware fault of this model before i bought but i held the hope that the firmware fix corrected the issue, it turned out i had to replace it after tried.
