Re: [IA] Motorolla SB6121 Now Supported?

Okay, so Dubuque area is fine I assume and I will also assume (of course knowing other issues could exist or arise) that if I try to find a newer build SB6121 I should be okay in regards to past issues with older firmware?
Thanks,

Getting a newer build should include newer firmware. There should also be an option to manually upgrade the firmware if it does not contain the newest version.

Sweet-good to know-so Mediacom getting ahold of the firmware is to be able to push it out to customers, if needed--you don't modify it in anyway?

Thanks,

So does Mediacom modify the firmware or merely have it available from manufacturer to push out to customers?

Just curious.
Thanks,

It is the manufacturer firmware.

Chad someone needs to make sure 6121 gets added to the supported modem list. No excuses! This is by far the best selling DOCSIS 3 modem on the market and the 6120 has not been available for months now. I swear I could work as a salesman for Motorola. I have recommended this modem to many customers. I mean with the prices people pay why pay a rental fee for a 10yr old piece of shit modem?

I will forward your recommendation to the appropriate department.

How do you find out if a particular market (Clearlake Oaks, Lake County, CA) supports the SB6121?

Clearlake has been upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0.

Can you tell if the Boone, IA (Ames?) area is 3.0 yet?

Boone, IA is all digital with speeds up to 50 Mbps.

My dad's in Lakeport and is using a Zoom 5341J that I bought for him a few weeks ago. It's been working pretty well so far, four downstream channels and one up. Very consistent speeds.
