Product Description
Riding the Internet wave just gets better and better. Introducing Motorola's new SURFboard SB4100 cable modem. With software upgrades accessible over the network and USB network connectivity, users no longer need to purchase additional software or open their PC to install a standard Ethernet card. The SB4100 offers both Ethernet and USB interface connectivity to help ensure compatibility with almost any PC or Macintosh network-ready computer system. What's more, a front panel stand-by switch has been added for additional end-user security. It disconnects the USB and Ethernet connection to the CPE without disconnecting the cable modem from the RF network, providing security, flexibility and performance. The SB4100 includes all of the enhanced features of previous SURFboard cable modems, including: incredible speed, high-performance processors, advanced RF design, operator-friendly diagnostics, and top-notch field reliability.

I had no real problems with this unit until last night, when suddenly it just stopped working. No surges, in fact it's on a line conditioner AND a surge protector. It's got power but the modem will not function. Naturally, the warranty is only 2 years, and mine is 2.5 years old. Argh! Look elsewhere.
It just sits there, hidden behind my printer, chugging away. April 27, 2004

In the category of "better late than never," perhaps it's worth while for me to make a comment or two about a flawless piece of computer hardware that has been in place and running continously, without problems, for more than three years now. Normally, I do my best-when reviewing computer hardware and software-to review in a timely manner, so that others might benefit from my experiences. But something different happened with this Motorola cable modem.br /br /I actually made the switch to broadband, as I said, more than three years ago. This Motorola SB4100 cable modem was "part of the deal" from my cable service providor when I made the switch. The unit ended up getting tucked behind my printer, and for all this time, I pretty much ignored it and simply took it for granted. (The vertical design, with the small footprint, makes it very easy to tuck away in the way I did. And also makes it easy to forget that it's there.)br /br /About the only time I paid it any attention was when I installed a router to add another Mac to my office. But this was barely enough attention to simply swap out cables, in order to run the ethernet cable to the router, rather than to the original Mac that ended up with a "partner."br /br /I really didn't even pay it any mind when, not long ago, my cable provider offered to boost my speed, as part of a new and different package of services. The cable modem handled the increased speed with aplomb, and with nary a need for me to notice, again, its existence, hidden away the way it is.br /br /So, consider this a usage-based testimonial, after those three plus years, for a device that fits into the "plug it in; then forget about it" category (and fits into virtually no space at all). By now, it owes me nothing. Yet, despite the fact that Motorola has supplanted the SB4100 with, first, the SB4200 (substantially the same item), and, later, the SB5100, I see absolutely no need to get "the latest and greatest": this Model SB4100 fit my needs then, and continues to do so now.br /br /It's not often that three-years-after-the-fact testimonials of this type are so easy to provide, and honestly at that.br /br /Bob Zeidler

I purchased this modem (SB4100) to replace the 3com office connect which was not compatible with either cable company in my area. I have had it for almost a year now, and overall I just forget about it, since it works great. I tested both USB and Ethernet connection and both work, even though I am using the ethernet port with my router. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that once in a while (maybe every other month or so), for no apparent reason, I have to reset it. The standby button while great, is of no use assuming you have a good router/firewall. I would recommend it overall (the newer SB4200 is essentially the same).
