| Anon | Approved Comcast Modems Modem List I just wanted to add a list of current Comcast modems, it took me a while to find it. So I thought I would start a new one and try to make it easier for people to find it.
It was originally posted here
And was posted by Teriwyn Who I would like to thank for this fine list. THANKS A LOT Teriwyn

Its about time internal cable modems came out. I've heard about them for years when the DOCSIS spec was finalized, but they never appeared until now. | |

| There has always been internal modems, just none that comcast wanted to use.
they may be a nightmare to work with though.
imagine, right now if lightnign hits yer cable line, it'll just blow out your modem.

| Re: Approved Comcast Modems Modem List I have found NONE that don't introduce any sort of noice ingress or signal loss. My modem already has one H of a time staying connected. All I need is another few dB of loss. What kind of miracle suppressor (brand, model) do you use?

| Re: Approved Comcast Modems Modem List Whatever is easiest for you. I put a mail link on the listing page for any updates, so you can do it that way as well. Maybe we can post it in a separate posting and make it "sticky." -- Visit and support DSLR/BBR on irc at irc.zerolimit.net #BBR Come on and chat! | |

| Any chance of adding some additional columns? One to indicate whether or not each modem has user-accessible diagnostics/logging. Another column to indicate whether it has separate send/receive lights.
To start things off, the Toshiba PCX1100U (my modem, sigh) has neither. | |

The PCX1100 has SNMP capability (user-accessible)....unfortunately Comcast disable it via the Config file
It has an IP address of 192.168.100.1 (you have to manually set your IP address to something in the same subnet) and you will have to connect directly to the Modem (without a Firewall box). You can disconnect the RF feed on the Cable modem, Power it off/on and then SNMP to it, but when you reconnect the RF, bye bye SNMP access
Unfortunately the data is useless without the Connection to Comcast

| The cisco UBR904 is on the list (as is the UBR905 and UBR925), but absent is the UBR924. Is this simply an oversight, or does anybody think that the UBR924 wouldn't work?
I found a great place to get one cheap and was just about to order one. I can't imagine that the UBR904 works but the UBR924 doesn't, unless there's some very specific problem (or they've decided to disallow it for some reason)...

| Not sure if someone has asked this already, but I went to the motorola web page just looking for whatever there may be for "firmware". I noticed that my trusty SB4100 has been discontinued? What's that about? I am hopeful that Comcast has already "updated" my modems firmware, before the model became obsolete. Do you think this is anything to worry about? Do I need the state of the art already? | |

| Re: Approved Comcast Modems Modem List MY Toshiba pcx1100u works fine when it's hooked directly to the pc but I can't get to work throgh my linksys BEFSR41 V.2 Router. Linksys tech support says they have issues with this modem. If I want to use their Router I have to install a Hub between the moden and router.
Anybody else have this problem. | |

@motorola.com | I didn't see anything on the WEB page about the 4100 being discontinued. Even if it was I wouldn't be worrying about firmware support going away. There are millions of them out there. | |

This location does list the 4100 as a discontinued model. | |

@motorola.com | Re: Approved Comcast Modems Modem List Interesting the internal page doesn't show it as discontinued but the factory says they don't build em any more. Thanks for the link. | |

| I just received my new DOCSIS 2 modem from Comcast. No major problems but they told me that if any modems are not DOCSIS 2 compatible, they won't work after Sept 30. Is this possible? For instance, they say that no Linksys Modems are DOCSIS 2.0 compatible. Anybody have any info on this. Thanks. | |

Um comcast isn't offering increased uploads or any docsis 2.0 features. As someone stated comcast is not even docsis 1.1 and 90% of the modems out there are NOT 2.0 compliant
They are only cutting service to NON docsis modems..don't spread info that is false thanks  | |

| Yeah right. Comcast isn't even DOCSIS 1.1 yet. How are they gonna all of a sudden jump to 2.0? Show me an average cm customer who's actually seen a SB4220, let alone using one. FYI, none of the popular SurfBoards (4200, 4100) are DOCSIS 2.0 ready (go read their prod specs if you don't believe me). Unless Comcast wants to piss off a whole bunch of its customers who purchased their own modems, DOCSIS 2.0 is not gonna happen any time soon, certainly not by 9/30. | |

| Re: Approved Comcast Modems Modem List Good catch.
Yes, the 4220 does support A-TDMA as defined in DOCSIS 2.0. However, CableLabs has a very strict set of rules for how a company can use "2.0" in their literature. The 4220 is certainly capable of working as a 2.0 modem on cable plants that have a CMTS that is configured to use the A-TDMA flavor of 2.0.
