[QUOTE="jazzycat, post: 1645778, member: 345492"] Hello. I want to buy a modem and stop renting from Comcast. I did a search, and found that the Motorolla Surfboard SB 6141 is supposedly the most recommended, but after another search, I found a lot of people having problems with that modem and the Airport Extreme. The internet was being dropped, and it appeared to be incompatible firmware (I think). After replacing the Airport Extreme, sometimes more than once, a few of them replaced the modem with the Zoom 5341. That apparently fixed the problem. I was wondering if anyone here has had any problems with either of these modems working together along with Comcast and their Airport Extremes. Is there another modem that might work better under these circumstances? I live in Savannah, GA. (Comcast pretty much sucks here anyway, but the only other choice is much slower and more expensive ATT&T. The fastest speed they have is 6mbps. With Comcast my speed is generally over 50mbps.) Thanks bunches! ~K [/QUOTE]
