This time it got me a bit. Spectrum in our area has been steadily increasing our cable internet speeds. I was going to blame Spectrum for us continually loosing connectivity but I did some hunting and found out our modem was just cooking and could not keep up with the upgraded internet service we were getting and using as we have steadily doubled the number of devices we have using it. Spectrum has more then doubled our speed in the last two years, and we have got at least 2x the devices using our internet now - no small wonder the old modem cut out

If you have cable internet, you probably rent your modem from your internet service provider for a monthly fee on top of your internet plan. It's usually somewhere between $5 and $10 a month, though most ISPs are less than up front about how much their services cost.

The Motorola MB8600 should be a good modem, but if it were myself I would spend an extra $20 and get the MB8611 instead as the extra $20 gives you a 2.5Gb ethernet port and circuitry which will allow you to gain full access to your 1Gb Internet connection.

I've had problems using the MB7621 DOCSIS 3.0 modem with Xfinity's "Fast" Internet service, which delivers 300Mbps downstream and 10Mbps upstream. Initially the performance was as advertised, but over time, or after a reboot, performance would drop to 50Mbps downstream and sometimes less than 10Mbps downstream, while the upstream performance was maintained. After some investigation, I found that the problem may be with how Comcast handles the "extra" channels not used by my data plan

" I reminded him that my previous modem had 32 channels and no issues for years. He offered no further advice.

So these modems are not the rock solid modems from the early Motorola generation many of us have become accustomed. I took away two star for the hassle caused by the modem and the aggravation of having to deal with Comcast automated voice hell system to reach a real human every time I had to call them. Of course Comcast could have easily told me it was the modem but refused to look at it since it wasn't company equipment. It was customer owned equipment

I'm not even sure you can do that. Um, but um, yeah. you'll need your ex an external router or something from the Linksys or Tcp. or Tc link or Tp lin...

Worked pretty easily, however within a month it was intermittently cutting out. The cable company’s diagnostic app said the modem was going offline often (several dozen times per day). That makes it hard to maintain a VPN connection for work-from-home. I bought another modem of the same make & model at a local computer super-store and it has worked flawlessly ever since
