Re: [TWC] Possible problem with new Zoom 5341j

said by Vince6:

So I'm thinking I should just get a new modem. DO I take a chance with another Zoom or go with a SB6121 or SB6141?

I still think the Zoom 5341J is a good modem overall, but since you have already tried one and have had major issues, it would make sense to try a Motorola SB6141 or SB6121 instead.

Is MoCA support the only difference between the two?

Motorola SB6141: DOCSIS 3.0 8x4
Motorola SB6121: DOCSIS 3.0 4x4

I believe both have a MoCA filter built in. These modems are based off a different chipset than the Zoom 5341J.

Got it. Thanks.

I'll probably go with the 41 to be more "future proof". It's only ten bucks more.
