said by dutchtender:I just upgraded to Performance Internet. I am still using my docsis 2 modem a moto 5101. I just did a speed test and I am at 17m down and 2 up over wifi. My router is linksys e3200 stock firmware. My adapter is ae2500. I am getting ipv6 tests which are about the same.
Am I being limited by my modem? I was told I could use this modem and get faster speeds. I have a new 3 modem coming. Any ideas? thanks.
Absolutely. You can't use a D2 modem and get 50. Ditch the old modem and put a docsis 3 in it's place.
What modem do you have coming to replace the 5101?
These are great Docsis 3 modems:

Also, be sure to come back tell us how it went and if you have any issues.
