I purchased this as opposed to paying the monthly fee to TWC for internet service. I am new to the California area and TWC is the only service available where I live. So far, I have had no issues with the modem and my internet works fine when I work from home. I don't have cable and use my x-box to watch tv and I have no issues with Amazon Prime, Netflix or Hulu.
Just bought this about a week ago. My old modem through Comcast finally wiped out after 7 years. We use it with our computer and Xbox 360. The only problem I have is trying to get WiFi for my Kindle. Anyone have suggestions? I'm trying to use the Security Key that was provided b/c we still use that to log in to our Xbox  but says password is not correct. Other than that no issues so far.
I had heard mixed reviews about less expensive modem/ router combos for time warner. So I don't know if they work, but this one is getting almost 16 mbps with the tv , and various other wifi equipment on a 15mbps plan.I bought it used, and had no trouble with time warner on the phone hooking it up, and going through the process of being able to set a password online and wifi network name.Highly recommend.
It is mainly a modem for computer. will not work with a 4700 series hp printer. I have phone over cable and had to hook up old motorola cable modem to hook it up. New pro 8000 hp printer will work. Have laptop on old wireless to use printer and can't tell any speed difference.
I am going to tell you what to do in ENGLISH.1) Take you old Modem/new modem to your provider, they will need all the serial numbers and other numbers from your new device.2) Hook up everything(e-cord, power, computer) You have to hard wire it before you go wireless.3) Please; listen to me!
Hook up was easy. I have ComCast service and the wired connection and Wifi work great. My modem is in the bottom of my computer desk, behind a closed cabinet door and my WIFI signal is at max throughout the house. I have a 2200sq ft ranch type house. Speed is as advertised, no drop offs, very satisfied with the unit.
I read the reviews on this product and they are so widely diverging that it created anxiety. It is the only product like this in its class, however. It was recommended by the Best Buy staff and Charter cable staff. Our son, who completed a course in Cisco installed it as we were struggling to do so using the provided instructions. There is an online video here about hooking it up to a computer which is a very different process than to a Blu Ray player/tv, etc.
I live in a 2 level home and  had no problem with the wireless connection. I had the gateway set up on the 2nd level.Edited 10/10/03Sometime the WiFi signals drop and reconnect itself.10/18/03WiFi stop working need to reset the wireless connection.
The choice of 40 is OK as long as your network is exclusively wireless n.  This simple change increased my wireless download speed from 5-10 mbps to about 27 mbps! Wireless video streaming to Xbox is now a pleasure, but I recommend having xbox connected to modem by ethernet cable even though the computer is wireless. Disadvantages: you have to call your isp to register the Motorola device. It took more than 1 call (all within 2 hours) before Bright House got it right.
Answer: I don't have cable TV, but I do have cable Internet.  The difference between the two being the subscription so you'll want to check into that.  You don't need to attach it to a computer, but you'll want to log into the website to deal with settings and set your password, etc.
