Editorial Reviews

The SURFboard SB5101U Cable Modem DOCSIS 2.0 is designed for easy set-up via USB or Ethernet. Troubleshooting is a breeze too, thanks to front panel status indicator LEDs and an online diagnostics page. Compatible with Windows, Mac, more. Note: Ask your cable company if they support DOCSIS cable modems. DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) is the industry standard for cable-based Internet access service.

Works like a charm so far.

Purchased because it was on comcast's list of approved modems. When they came for installation the technician had no problem getting it set up and running and I haven't had a problem since.

Love it. Was extremely easy to get going. Just plugged it in and ran the self-installer my ISP provided me with. Quick connection and it does exactly what it's supposed to. Good quality for the price. Also love that it's vertical, so it doesn't take up a lot of room on my desk.

Horrible!!!

I bought this cable modem and returned it shortly thereafter. It was horrible! It always dropped a signal and was not reliable at all! I returned it for a Linksys modem, which works wonderfully! Don't waste your time or money on this product.

Plug-and-Play easy, Energy Star rated Power Adaptor

Works great. Easy, hassle-free setup, no software install required, just connect the cables, call your cable company to register the modem over the phone and you're done.

This is the only Energy Star rated cable modem I could find. Power adaptor is compact and electronic--not a brick-- so it doesn't get hot or waste energy.

Modem works great.

I purchased this modem to replace my leased Comcast modem because they were going up once again. The setup was easy just plugged it up and called Comcast to give them the mac address. The worst part of the deal is that Com freaking cast has yet to take it off of my bill so hopefully it will be off this month with a credit.

But the modem works great. But I also found that I could have gotten the same modem for a $1 difference from Walmart and not have to wait on the shipping.
