Pros: a modem is a modem they say. This one is small, black in color and looks great compared to my old surf board modem. Love the STAND BY button that lets you disconnect the signal to the computer and or router instantly while the modem stays connected to th
Cons: Minor con...No power on / off button and no reset button, if you need to reset your modem you need to unplug it.

The Motorola has both USB and Ethernet connections so you can directly hook up 2 computers without having to buy extra networking hardware. Another nice feature is the STANDBY button at the top which you can use to temporarily cut off the internet. Also, it is relatively compact (roughly 6"H x 2"W x 6"D), so it won't take over your valuable desk space.
Performance-wise, I can't say I noticed much of a difference from their old modem but cable bandwith can be variable depending on the number of users in the neighborhood. At least it wasn't any slower.
Based on all this, I figured why buy a modem with older technology for more $$ that probably can't be upgraded when you can have the latest and greatest now for cheaper- a rare combination.

Easy Setup
Created: 14/05/10
Ref: Motorola SB5100 cable modem. I didn't wait! When I signed for cable the tek said would install next Monday. I plugged it in and the green lights started coming on. That is a warning that everything is OK. Plugged in my Mac PowerBook G4 OS10, selected Ethernet and started browsing. I wish the rest of my life was that easy. -Jim
