You need to check with your LOCAL cable company, the modems supported by cable companies sometimes vary in different area's of the country. This modem was actually one of the 3 recomended modems with my local company (COX)
Most Cable companies download a config file to your modem (that is modem specific) when it connects. If they don't have the config file for your modem, then you can't connect. This file is what sets your upload/download speeds amoung other things.
But don't try and hack (uncap) your modem for higher speeds. If you do, you'll soon be at the top of your providers list of bandwidth hogs, and then it's by-by cable connection........:Q[/quote]
That is what Docsis is for. If your cable company supports Docsys 1.0, then any cable modem that supports it as well, should work and handle the configurations file download just fine.
I called Charter, to see if any modems had problems and, they said most Docsis 1.0 modems work fine, although problems with certain 3com and Linksys models exist.
According to tracking, I should have mine by Thursday, so we will see.
