I have the 6120, it's on their approved modems list.
Here is the list for reference: DOCSIS Devices
If you don't have a separate router, you can go with a cable modem/router all in one for about $40, but I like to have separates personally. |
Everything he said.
I have a couple of Comcast-compatible modems. I replaced the older one with the Motorola - pretty sure it's a 6120, but I know it's DOCSIS 3.0/Comcast-approved because i researched before I bought - and then I upgraded to business class a few months later.
Comcast insisted I went with a managed router they provided - (and incidentally refused to let me go with my option; Cisco cable WIC in a real router). Bottom line is, I have two cables modems I have no use for.
Think I paid $40 (Ebay) for the Motorola, including shipping from Canada. Worked great. I'd happily let it go for what I paid. You could have the older one (pretty sure it's DOCSIS 2.0, so still not too shabby) for shipping, if I can find it.. The problems with connection stability I thought were the modem itself turned out to be about a whole mess of finger-tight co-ax connections a room-mate made...
I also have a box of assorted DSL modems/routers/bridges and a few ISDN T/As if anyone needs one.
