 Easy, Small, No problems, 2005-09-08
The best modem is the kind you can plug in, turn on and forget about it. I haven't thought about mine since I installed it, works great!!

Works great, 2005-09-03
I was a little concerned about this DCM-202 modem after reading the reviews on the heat and also firmware upgrade for Comcast ISP. However; after finding the unbeatable price with rebate from Amazon.com, I decided to buy it. I prepared all the new Firmware 2.01 upgrade before the modem arrived and spent 10 minutes to upgrade the firmware when I received the modem. I did not upgrade the 2.01 firmware successfully the first time but I did upgrade successfully the second time. There is no issue whatoever with the modem. There is only some issue to register my modem the 1st time and it took a second phone call to register it. Perhaps I called Comcast to register my modem before I upgraded the firmware for Comcast customer. I could have given it a 5 stars but the firmware upgrade took a small effort so I give it a 4.5 stars intead. Anyway, highly recommend the Dlink DCM-202 cable modem for the price, performance, and the small footprint.

 Signal not as strong as previous Motorola Surfboard 5100, 2005-08-19
When lightning struck my Motorola Surfboard 5100 cable modem and fried the ethernet port, I decided to try a D-Link cable modem hoping for better compatibility with my D-Link router. I ended up having to re-position this modem closer to the main cable feed into the house because it couldn't pick up a consistent signal from my cable company. It works fine now that it is tethered to a 10 ft cable line, but then I found out my D-Link Router was also fried by the same lightning strike that killed the Motorola modem. Knowing what I know now, I would have purchased another Motorola Surfboard modem. It didn't have any problem picking up the cable signal at the end of a 75 foot cable.

Don't rent..Buy! Speed is great w/ this cable modem, 2005-07-22
I was renting a Toshiba PCX1100 from Cox for almost 2 years just because I knew nothing about Cable modems and was hesitant to break what was working. Customer Service rep recommended buying so took a chance. I reviewed the recommended list online and took his recommendations Motorola Surfboard, Toshiba PCX 2200, and Linksys under advisement. I was on my way to purchase a Motorola at Circuit City when I saw this on Amazon at a great deal(...). I couldn't beat that price anywhere so I checked the reviews. I noticed that the reviews in 2005 gave good ones. It was on the vendor's recommended list so I gambled and thought let me try it.
At 10:30 pm, I began to read and install. When installing the ethernet connection, I disabled and enabled the Local Area Connection and the protocols were automatically updated for the modem. (Properties were set to automatic as per the directions) Then I clicked on internet explorer and the easy installation instructions from Cox Communications came up. I walked thru all the steps and at the very end hit an error. I called Cox Technical Support and after 15 minutes of troubleshooting and questions, he updated the Serial Number and the Cable Modem MAC for the D-Link in Cox system. A quick double click at 11:15 PM and I was up and ready to go. I thought 45 minutes wasn't too bad since I'm no technical person and most of the time was spent reading directions and working with someone at COX to get me up and running. Loading webpages and content is MUCH quicker than my Toshiba which I believe was on it's last leg. Most of all, I'm happy with the product.
Rule #1, Before installing CALL your cable company, tell them you are switching modems, the brand, Cable modem MAC, and the Serial number. (All are found on the modem or box)
Rule #2, Do NOT rent. BUY!!! In 3 months time, I will have recovered the cost of renting.(...).

Blazing Speeds with Simple Install, 2005-05-24
As have most other people who reviewed this Cable Modem, I had a splendid time setting it up and getting it to work. Basically just plugged it in and it worked. :) OK so I had to call my ISP first and tell them I was going to do it, but after THAT, it was as simple as it gets. There are no extra ports to confuse you, the cables only plug into one place, and I don't see how you could mess this up. After plugging it in, it takes about a minute and all the LEDs go green and you are connected. No biggy.
