 works great with AT&T Broadband, 2001-12-21
After frustrating results trying to set up the cable modem and 20 hours on line with @Home... no, not @Home. Today, ATTBI... (will it be ATTBI-Comcast???)The new ATTBI help desk officially does not support this modem. However, the reason for my troubles was because the flunkies that were helping me failed to properly register my MAC address. Be persistent with updating your MAC address with your cable ISP and the Linksys BEFCMU10 will work like a charm.

All computer hardware should be this easy..., 2001-12-13
Truly a snap to install on my Windows ME system...and it works great. The most difficult part was getting my provider to change the MAC ID. Highly recommend this cable modem (...)

It worked from the start, 2001-12-13
Amazon got the Linksys Cable modem to me, I returned the leased Toshiba Cable Modem to the local office, hooked up the Linksys, called up AT&T's @home broadband number, they took down the modem's details (model, serial number, MAC address), I power cycled everything, and it worked as it should.The only only other feature I would ask for is a programmable MAC address, so I could match it to the Toshiba address and avoid having to call AT&T. However, I am not willing to pay the extra ($$$)to bump up to the Xoom cable modem that has that feature.

 Can't Wait, 2001-11-23
I cant wait till my modem arrives. I had DSL here in Northern VA for a while, but the speeds were not going to well. I switched to Cox Internet service. I must say at the begining i thought it was much worse than the DSL. Glad to say latley i have been getting consitant 1mbs speeds and sometimes a little under two. I have all Linksys equipment, Cable Router, Switch, Hub, Wireless Lan, KVM. No problems in 5 years of equipment use.The Toshiba-yuk modem that i have now just has no features. I think that the Linksys modem actually will connect to cable router at 100mbs, and if it does, I would like to see if I get any true performance diffrence. Anyway, I can say $10 a month on a company I have had good experience with.

Simplicity., 2001-11-22
This attractive cable modem utilizes the most popular DOCSIS protocol, and is therefore compatible with most systems (check /w your cable provider before ordering any cable modem). I particularly like the vertical setup (& stability), the easy-to-interpret LEDs, and the ethernet *and* USB connectivity. Of note, the Linksys products I've bought have always been trouble-free and their support reputation is good, just in case you were to have a problem. Lastly, prices are falling rather quickly since Linksys has entered the market, and this is right now the best buy around.
