Motorola SURFboard SB5101U (567005-005-00) 38.91 Mbps

SB5101U Modem

Not the fastest modem but it works excellent in normal email/browsing use. If you are a gamer you would probably want something faster. It paid for itself in just 2 months in that I do not have to lease equipment from Time Warner.Read full review

Crummy product. Get a better modem, don't settle for this.

Although you can get by with this Modem it is only rated for about 25-30Mbps. If you are paying for a higher internet speed than this, then you are really just limiting yourself.

Cheap and works like a charm

Bought this used. All I had to do was call Time Warner Cable and give them the numbers on it and plug it in. Two minute set up! I run several devices through it (including two smart TVs) and it performs well plus I no longer have to pay monthly rent on the Time Warner modem.Read full review

Reasonably priced modem

Purchased my own modem and router to avoid "rental" from my internet provider. I'm not a computer expert,
but the unit seems to work very well, I'm not having any problems. Satisfied with the modem's operation.Read full review

Perfect replacement for cable company rental unit.

Easy setup. I have been using for about 3 weeks with no issues. This unit was an exact match for the cable company rental modem which cost $.5.95 monthly. It'll pay for itself in less than 3 months. I purchased an additional unit as a backup.Read full review

Works great

I'm using this modem on Time Warner cable in Los Angeles, CA. To install, I hooked it up, and then had to call Time Warner's technical service line for them to activate the modem on my service. No more monthly service charge.Read full review

Motorola SB5101U cable Modem

Worked as advertised, no problems with this at all. Would rrecommend

Why pay cable company lease?

I noticed that I was leasing a modem for about $10 every month. Went on ebay and saw this (which is the same model I was leasing) for only a little more than one month's lease. Wish I had bought this two years ago. It's been working great and saving me $$Read full review
