| SB51XX...different models...where can I find the differences
I'm trying to buy a cable modem, most people I know are happy with their surfboard. Where can I find something that compares the different SB51XX models so I can understand the differences between them and make my choice?
If there's anything glaring or obvious between the 3 that would cause anyone to choose one over the other hands-down, please feel free to share that too.
Thanks. |

@comcast.net | Thanks. So does the SB5101's newer chipset have the upstream issues fixed?
Also is there anyway to know if comcast has me on 256QAM? |

The SBxxxx series show the Downstream QAM on the diagnostic page. -- Write me up a 125.......I Can't Drive 55 »redrocker.com/ »cabowabo.com/ |
