This cable modem stopped working in just 7 monthes. I bought it in February, 2010. It gave me lots of trouble starting in July- I kept having to unplug it, wait 10 or more seconds, and plug it back in to get it to function. Then in August it stopped working altogether. I replaced it with a Motorola Surfboard cable modem, and now I am good to go. I should've spent the extra $20 for the Motorola in the first place.
Worked as expected with Comcast

I was looking for a cable modem to work with my Comcast account.
The product reached me on time (before Comcast pulled the plug on my previous modem that had reached end-of-life) with pretty good packaging.
Product installation was straight forward. Wired the modem using the documentation provided, called up Comcast to register my new MAC address (listed on the modem) and I was up and running. Its been running for nearly a month now with no resets and has been good so far.

Product is so easy to set and got it running right after plugging it in. Dont even have to configure or run any programs for it, it is really plug-n-play device. Realiable and fast.

So far only Cox AZ has dropped the modem because it was causing problems on their network.

Constantly needs to be reset

Reviewer: H. Giles,
I got this in December. After a couple of months it had to be reset 1-3 times a day to get the internet back up. My cable service specs were excellent. I got a Motorola SB 6120 and immediately no problems now. Internet stays up 24/7. I would avoid this product.
Five years and going strong

I bought this modem in 2005 when I moved into my first apartment since it would pay for itself in less than a year compared to a modem rental. Five years later of constant use and it is still going strong. I have used this on Comcast, Armstrong, Adelphia (now Comcast), and a few smaller companies that have now been bought by the bigger guys.
The only problem I had was because the cable company set things up wrong in the beginning and D-Link support was excellent in helping me figure it out. I have bought this same modem for my sister and my parents. It has done them well also. Buy this modem, you won't regret it.

Expect it to stop working after one year
Review Date: January 18, 2010
Reviewer: BEWHY,
By now, I think I am done with D-link products. I have owned both D-link Router and Cable Modem, but both of them stopped working after one year.(right after the warranty expired) Within the 1st year, it works ok, just need to reset it few times occasionally. But after a year, my internet connection started to keep dropping. Sometimes, it could be like disconnect every 30 mins. I had tried to fix it by upgrade the firmware on it, but no luck. I think the hardware just broke down after a year. Now I am getting the Motorola cable modem as a replacement, will see how this one work out. But I will recommend to stay away from this Cable Modem. It may be a bit cheaper than the MOtorola one, but you should expect it to break down after a year.
Not a good investment
