 D-link DCM202 modem Is the ultimate, 2008-03-29
I bought the D-link DMC202 about two weeks ago to replace a motorola Surfboard SB5120 It has been working great.
ats on the D-link DCM202 compared to the Motorola Surfboard sb5120.
I am using optimum online the basic broadband service in NY no boost.
average speed after 11 pm usually around 13.2 Mbps
average speed after 8 am usually is around 9.8 Mbps
Now let' s go to D-link DCM202 Stats
average speed after 11 pm usually around 15.2 Mbps average speed after 8 am usually is around 11.839 Mbps
D-link modem t works faster than the Motorola Surfboard SB5120.
I did not even call Optimum Online to set up the modem.
I just connect the modem directly to the line and then I click on the web browser and the instruction popped up and ask me for my account number. I put the account number and then follow the ISP provider Instruction.
I was very connected to the net.
great piece of equipment, 2008-03-29
have been using it trouble free for 4 years. runs hot but works all the time. even survived a thunderstorm that blew out my pc ethernet card. note that you can also use the usb connection but not simultaneously with the ethernet. usb is much slower but an option if you don't have ethernet card. very hard to grab because it is smooth and doesn't have handles

OK here's the deal..., 2008-03-21
The thing is- this modem is great, but requires a little more effort from Comcast customers. Having said that, it runs circles around the refurbished Motorola sb5101 I had from Comcast (yeah, I didn't know they did that either...) and as a result I'm seeing speeds MUCH faster than before.
KNOW THIS COMCAST PEOPLE: 1. You must install the firmware update, even if you use the ethernet connection. 2. You may have big problems if you use the USB connection- so don't. 3. Comcast may tell you not to do the firmware update- but you'll have connectivity issues if you don't (I sure did). 4. It is a good idea to ONLY use the firmware update for the DCM-202 avail from Dlink's support site labelled "for COMCAST" and download it using your old modem first. 5. Don't hook up the cable to the modem until after you have upgraded firmware. 6. When you upgrade the firmware- be smart and connect with the ethernet cable, not your wireless router and be careful to follow the pdf directions EXACTLY. 7. Turn off your firewall and wireless adapter in your laptop BEFORE trying to update firmware. 8. After firmware update and cycling it by un- and re-plugging- call comcast to set up and register it.
These hints should help you avoid some of the problems. If you REALLY don't know what you're doing- call Dlink to walk you through it while you're still connected to the internet through your old modem or phone line, and remind them you will need the firmware update. Then call Comcast and have them walk you through their thing. Good Luck.
Works as Advertised, 2008-03-15
Works great with the D-Link N router. Set-Up is a snap and you will be surfing the information superhighway in no time.
 wasn't worth it to us, 2008-03-15
We never got it to work like it should. It came incomplete and by the time we got around to getting the extra conection wires needed we couldn't send it back. Can't recomend.
