She has Comcast and is on their 100Mbps plan, so no need for a more expensive modem that can do 300+Mbps.
This one fits the bill perfectly, and saves her $13/month rental fee. Pays for itself in less than 4 months.
Setup was super easy. Just screw in co-ax cable, plug it in, and then hook it up to your router (I did a direct wire to my laptop for setup). Go to the Comcast page and it let me set everything up online. In less than 30 minutes of me opening the box she was getting 100+Mbps download speeds.
This MB7220 seems to be the replacement for the old SB6141 (which I have at home for the past 6 years without an issue). Hopefully the MB7220 last as long (or longer).
Yes, this is an 8x4, DOCSIS 3.0 modem, a bit old by current standards (32x8 with DOCSIS 3.1 is the "top dog" now, with DOCSIS 4.0 being developed), but still works with most all cable providers, and should still be working for many years.
It also provides the speeds needed for the average cable internet user, and still being inexpensive.
If you have an internet plan that offers 150Mbps or faster, don't get this modem, it will be a bottleneck for you. It is not a modem issue, it is just this was not designed for those speeds and you need to look for a 16x4 or faster modem.
Turns out the Motorola works great. Easy to hook up, after which I just needed to call my cable company (Wide Open West a.k.a. WOW) for them to activate the modem. Once done, this thing flew! I consistently pull 200+ Mbps down on it.
(Regardless of the box saying "343 Mbps maximum speed", really this modem is perfect for my 200 Mbps internet package. It's certified by Comcast for 200 and WOW in my area subleases Comcast's network. Looks like Charter and Cox certified it for 150 per the graphics in the product listing.)
One last thing: Some cable modems get hot, but this one is just warm to the touch and not hot at all. I don't foresee it having an issue overheating. It has plenty of ventilation on the sides and top.
If anything changes, I'll update my review, but for now, this modem seems like a solid purchase.
This modem performs well for our life style, we do not stream movie often and we have a small family. Cox Cable is our internet operator
I have to call COX three times. It does not work twice which I feel COX is missing to setup something, Second Cox operator ask me to contact Motorola, I did not. I have to ask Cox to re-register my old Cox (CISCO) modem to continue the service. Eventually, third try is a success after I wait for couple days before I make the third call. The whole process last less than 10 minutes. I feel some Cox operators either not knowing what they are doing or they are not eager to help switching modem. I am glad it works. I have returned my rental unit to Cox the same day.
Note: there are some startup sequence you can check when you connect the modern with your laptop, check the instructions that come with the for modem IP address, it is helpful to see at what step the modem fails to connect and tell the operator.
Motorola 8x4 Cable Modem, Model MB7220, 343 Mbps DOCSIS 3.0, Certified by Comcast XFINITY, Time Warner Cable, Cox, BrightHouse, and More
Pros:
$20/30 less than a good modem
Works in light use environment
Minimal restarts.
Cons:
No support at all
Only 8 channels
Weakest point of my network
Only worked for 6 months
UPDATE: I ran this modem for only about 6 months. At the recommendation of my internet provider I replaced it with the modem he recommends. My internet has never been more reliable. This can 100% ruin your internet.
