Note: When comparing download speeds with a traditional 28.8k analog modem. Actual speeds will vary, and are often less than the maximum possible. Upload and download speeds are affected by several factors including, but not limited to: network traffic and services offered by your cable operator or broadband service provider, computer equipment, type of server, number of connections to server, and availability of Internet router(s).

Bought this for my parents to replace the Comcast-rented RCA modem and Linksys wireless router they had. I personally own the Motorola Surfboard 5120, and that's ROCK SOLID, so I figured I'd give this a go. Am VERY happy with the results, and so are the folks! Previously, their RCA modem was resetting itself looking for sync/signal - Motorola modems can ride out a data storm and still deliver on upload AND download. The wirelss function was easy to configure (actually set that part up before I called the cable company to replace the old modem so it was just plug-and-play). If anyone's looking for the reliability of a Surfboard WITH the convenience of wireless, get this! Note that this is NOT a multi-port router, however, if you connect a hub or switch it will support multiple wired machines as well as the wireless clients. Hard to beat if you're into all-in-ones.
