Re: thinking about buying own cable modem said by kevinf1990:so the 5101 is newer? thanks, i was just confused and always thought that the greater the (model) number is the newer it is Usually yes the higher model numbers are newer.
The 5120 is newer then the 5100 or 5101, but it's chipset came from a different vendor than either the 5100 or 5101 which is where the firmware issues came into play. New chipset, new vendor, new firmware, new problems... again they seem to have been resolved. |

| but in this case the 5101 is newer, better, and more reliable? thank you for your help. looks like i will be buying the 5101 |

| so it looks like i should just buy which ever one is cheaper. are firmwares on the modems upgradeable like the routers |
