Riding the Internet wave just gets better and better. Introducing Motorola's new SURFboard SB4100 cable modem. With software upgrades accessible over the network and USB network connectivity, users no longer need to purchase additional software or open their PC to install a standard Ethernet card. The SB4100 offers both Ethernet and USB interface connectivity to help ensure compatibility with almost any PC or Macintosh network-ready computer system. What's more, a front panel stand-by switch has been added for additional end-user security. It disconnects the USB and Ethernet connection to the CPE without disconnecting the cable modem from the RF network, providing security, flexibility and performance. The SB4100 includes all of the enhanced features of previous SURFboard cable modems, including: incredible speed, high-performance processors, advanced RF design, operator-friendly diagnostics, and top-notch field reliability.

Motorola Surfboard SB4100 Cbale Modem
Strengths: Rock-solid stability, up & running months without any problem
Weakness: I wish it has router capability - 2 output connections
This is a very good cable modem. I purchased it about 18 months ago for $100. Coupled with ATT broadband (now comcast), it provides a solid high speed network. I keep this turned on. I didn't have any single incident with it. It always works for me day and night. Using it for work from home through VPN, as well as my personal use, it works consistently. Highly recommend to cable internet users.
