I did speed tests and we’re actually getting above advertised upload/download speeds very consistently.
@reniisgod Try changing channels your wireless is running on as i was
having those issues as well turn out tobe a device interfering on that
channel. Also it does not have to be interference from your house if you
live close to others as well.
For me it still drops, and I have a separate modem (from comcast) and
router. Comcast just sucks because of that.
hi I got a motorola cable modem and the stupid thing dose not work even the
cable guys modem dose not work- how do I calibrate a cable modem? i have to
heck it what can i do
look under your sofa cushions
Is the Motorola sb6120 faster(better) than the Motorola sbg6580
(modem/router) and is it better to have just a single device that acts as a
router and modem rather than having two seperate devices?
@elcuby haha, yea, pretty pointless review..but i have hard man bad things
about the all in one gateways.. i used to have one and it did indeed suck
I just bought one a best buy on sale 87.99 but I got the 2 year warranty
free. I have a older Motorola modem that has a local network switch and a
button on top to do it manual. I miss that feature. It also comes with a
cat 5 cable when it should have a cat 6 cable for the Ethernet connection .
It is a great modem but I wish that would add those 2 things.
man sorry that happened to you but hell yeah im glad mine does
@mpleroy you think 7/Mo is bad? Comcast charges exactly double that…
didnt lease right off the bat and bought the same modem/wireless router for
the same price but at new egg lol
stumbled on this video…Currently have Time Warner Cable modem/internet in
my downstairs office. I do not have a modem upstairs (already has cable box
connected to wall outlet) and I want a hardline internet upstairs. Was told
by TWC to hire AV guys to run an ethernet line from downstairs>attic>back
down to 2nd floor. OR rent another modem from TCW and pay $50 for the modem
PLUS pay $7/mo for rental.. So can I go to Best Buy, buy modem, connect to
outlet upstairs and have internet upstairs?
I just installed me sb6121 and no wireless signal come out of it. I called
Motorola and give them the model and serial and they told me that mine does
not have built in wifi. I asked I was told one did the guy said a few of
the first ones had it but it was a mistake and they stopped putting
wireless in that modem. You got real lucky that your has built in wife. I
am still wandering if its in mine but the disabled it.
sbg6580 is a bad move. Don’t do it. Also it is real sensitive to line
issues per comcast recommendations your signal on your cable modem has to
be pristine. Otherwise you will even run into firmware update corruption
like mine has. It won’t even connect to the network anymore. Although my
other modem on the same line works just fine. Not perfect but fine.
Amazing ethernet, HORRIBLE WI-FI SUCKS ASS WI-FI, went from 15mbps to 1-2
Mpbs.
I work for a cable company and I have to disagree with these two guys. Most
wifi interruptions I see is caused by an added router. A modem will update
it’s IP periodically and often the router cannot switch to the new IP due
to various factors. So then we get calls that they can’t get connected.
Having a all-in-one cuts this down dramatically as it doesn’t have issues
with renewing the IP.
the motorola all in one that they are talking about is outstanding. the
speeds are incredible. i also bought this at frys for 129.00. and i would
gladly say its the fastest i have ever had or seen… having an all in one
is the best way to go for me.it was so easy to setup. in fact it did
everything for me.guaranted you will not be disapointed. i dont know what
these bozos are talking about. this product is bad ass..
I know! Right! I have a WCG200 and I want to upgrade. The Modem works fine
but it is old.
@npham1198 wow i have COX internet and only pay 35 a month and my speed is
faster than 15MB tested not shown, technically your 15mb from comcast might
actually be around 11 or 12mb
Only two of them have built in wifi.
Wow, looking back at these videos, I think Heron lost heaps of weight
recently
i got a surfboard extreem 6121 for 89 bones didnt even know it had n
wireless built in till i activated the modem with the cable co
That would not surprise me at all.
I just bought a Motorola sb6121 and it does not have built in wifi. Are you
sure of the model number?
Just bought this modem yestarday. I love it! No Problems! Enjoying the 50mb
I upgraded too.
Do modems get firmware updates? Or just routers
