D-Link DCM-201 Cable ModemStrengths: Plenty of speed, small, very easy to setup and install, easy to use manual, lots of bang for the buck Weakness: No weaknesses that I've witnessed. I haven't owned a lot of cable modems to compare with but this one works great for me so far! I've had no problems with it, it works exactly as it should and it was very easy to set up and understand. I had it up and running 10 minutes after opening the box. 88% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

D-Link DCM-201 Cable ModemStrengths: Good Look to the item. Carrys the best signal around without to many lost packets. Weakness: Speed could be faster, but that is coming from a guy who works with SONET speeds at work. This product is so easy to configure. The directions that come with the product are so easy to follow I think your kids can do it. The service that customer service offers with this product is excellent!!! 67% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

D-Link DCM-201 Cable ModemStrengths: Worked fine for 96 days Weakness: Power adapter. 6 days after the warranty ran out, the power adapter got hot and started leaking. The modem was useless at this point. dLink customer service just said "Sorry". They would not replace even though the warranty had just run out. I own several dLink items and all have worked well. Customer service is actually very helpful and seem to be based in the USA. But, they had no sympathy at all and would not even SELL me another adapter. I am very disappointed in them.

DLink Cable Modem
Strengths: Small and compact. Looks and works good.
Weakness: No DOCSIS 2.0 (although it might not be that important)
This DLink cable modem has worked great for me. It is an excellent solution for those who are currently renting a mobem from the cable company (it should pay for itself in under a year). It is fairly small, and it has a vertical stand, so it won't take up much space on a shelf. There are DOCSIS 2.0 modems out now... DLink makes one, but I wouldn't bother getting one of these unless your cable company requires it (not likely) or you can find one for a cheaper price. This modem can download data at speeds of up to 38Mbps, which is much faster than most cable internet packages, so you won't have to worry about speed. In addition to the standard ethernet connection, there is a usb (only works with Windows 2000/xp though) interface for those who need it, and it is nice to see that DLink has included both USB and ethernet cables. As long as you can find this modem for a decent price, I'd recommend it.
