hi,
I would like to replace my SB5101 with my own modem. Can someone suggest a good one which offers router with 11n 5GHz connection?
I'm going through the approved list of modems and preferrably would go to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem as I've performance connection.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Motorola SB 6120 and your own "N" capable router. No combo modem/router gateway devices...

How about SBG6580?

That's a gateway device, I believe......
Most give a "thumbs down" to gateways.....if one section goes down, you're out both a router AND modem....!
EG has the best advice, IMHO.....
Good Luck!

Thats a good thing.

Will it work no matter where you live?
We are in the Chicago area and I am looking at a zoom purchase and need to make a decision by Monday night. I have a coupon for Staples for $25 off.
Other than unplug the Comcast modem and plug the new one in, what else do I have to do?
Where do I take the Comcast rented modem?
Thanks

Take it back to your local office and be sure to get a receipt that they received it.

Keep your returned modem receipt in a safe place. Don't forget where you put it.
This will be proof that it was returned to Comcast if they "lose" it and you are asked to pay for it.

After you plug the new one in, call comcast and ask then to Activiate / Provision it for you
At the top of the Forum page are five tabs and a search box
Click on the Shop tab
Click on Retail Locations
Enter your Zip Code in the box and hit enter
There you will see addresses for Comcast locations
As said before, make sure you get a hand receipt and keep it in a sfe place
Another good thing is to wait a few days and then call in to Comcast and make sure the return of the old modem is showing in the database. If not ask them to look and see where they provisioned your new modem.

FWIW, so far I have read nothing but good reports/reviews about that modem.

It has recently been added to their "Approved Modems List" so yes, it should "work anywhere".
