Most Critical Review

Cheap but Not Worth It

LINKSYS CM100-RM Cable Modem with USB and Ethernet Connections Ethernet Port DOCSIS 1.0, DOCSIS 1.1 Certified, DOCSIS 2.0 Certified, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, USB1.1
LINKSYS CM100-RM Cable Modem with USB and Ethernet Connections Ethernet Port DOCSIS 1.0, DOCSIS 1.1 Certified, DOCSIS 2.0 Certified, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, USB1.1

Pros: It was cheap.

Cons: It worked fine for about 80 days, but then started dropping about 80% of packets during the day. I initially thought that my connection was to blame and RCN offered to send someone out if I would pay fifty bucks if it turned out the modem was at fault. I wasn't that confident in the modem, and good thing because signing up for modem rental again and using their modem fixed the problem. I did get an RMA number since it broke in the 90 day warranty period, but I'm not going to bother shipping it in since I would have to pay for shipping.

Overall Review: Your cable company will not be as helpful if you own your own modem! You should be aware of this! Your significant other may be annoyed when your internet doesn't work and you're trying to troubleshoot it yourself!
