 Solid, 2008-02-03
I've had this "cable modem" installed for 6 months now and never had a problem. Very happy!
AOK , 2008-01-28
Easy to install. Am using the ethernet cable. I switched from Embarq/Sprint DSL to Cox cable; was getting 1500Kbps on DSL now 1650Kbps with Cox's lowest hispeed service. No problems with the Linksys BEFCMU10 modem or breaks in service.
Two things to note: minor-the modem has no on/off switch so you have to pull the power cable out of the modem if you want to shut down.
possibly major-I read on some online reviews that connecting with the USB cable has problems (I don't know how uptodate the reviews were, but that's something to investigate) (Today is Jan 2008; purchased a month ago).
 Mac Users, Stay Away from This Product, 2008-01-26
I bought this product (version 4) and tried to use it with LinkSys BEFSR41 version 4.1 router connected to an iMAC and MacBook Pro via Airport Express (wireless). No luck. Actually the router worked seamlessly with Airport Express and a Comcast cable modem. After trouble shooting, it appeared that the two Linksys products were not compatible with each other. Furthermore, BEFCMU10 does not want to work with AirPort Express. I called LinkSys; they would not help unless I paid $32 because I bought their modem and router at eBay although they were brand new. By the way, my computers are running under OS X 10.4 and 10.5, respectively.
I am going to keep the Comcast modem and LinkSys router because they worked together well and allowed me to connect to iMAc and MackBook (via Airport Express) at the same time and toss the LinkSys modem.

Great Cable Modem!, 2008-01-23
I bought this modem to save the monthly charge of $5 from my local cable company, and because I was buying more bandwidth. Even before I got the extra bandwidth, there was a noticeable speed boost with this modem. It is a very efficient product. The great pricing thru Amazon made the deal even better! Can't go wrong with this one!
Drops Connection frequently, 2008-01-21
I bought this modem in Oct'07 and ever since I have had issues. It drops connection which means I have to reset it every week. Linksys customer support is the worst that you can imagine (I was on the phone for 3 hours). They sent me a replacement unit which did not work at all. Then they sent me another one (which I have it right now) and it has the same problem of imtermittent connection like the original one. I am planning to call them but am not sure if it will be resolved. I am inclined to by Motorola Surfboard modem which has pretty good ratings and considering comcast uses it for their installations as well. I am not going to buy another linksys product ever again.
