Ditch the cable company's modem

I use it in...:Large home
After finally getting frustrated with the modem provided by the cable company I decided to get my own. Of course they asked why since I wasn't paying to lease the one I had. Well their own speed tests confirmed I had throughput of about 9Mbps on a good day when I'm paying for 20Mbps service. I swapped out the old modem with the Motorola, called them with the MAC ID and was up and running in a matter of minutes. Of course the first thing was to perform a speed test, the same one that I used before the swap. 20.6Mbps! Not only is my internet connection substantially faster but the built in WiFi has a better reach than my previous router AND the home network runs faster since I've eliminated a piece of equipment; stand alone router. My home network is used quite extensively too; 3 cell phones, 2 ipads, two laptops, 1 desktop, 2 home servers, 2 gaming consoles, 4 Blu-ray players, 1 stereo and a security system. This router/modem hasn't missed a beat yet!

Runs perfect, fits great, cheap with a heat spreader. I just built a new pc and picked up some of these for my wow PC, and it's running very smoothly. I recommend for a cheap build.

Well worth the investment!
April 15, 2011
I recently upgraded my desktop for my business to a 6 core AMD Phenom II processor and figured my 4 GB of memory would be enough. Although performance is amazing it just didn't seem to be where I thought it should be so I swapped out the four 1GB sticks for four 2GB sticks. Of all that's holy this things screams now! I have yet to come close to maxing out memory or CPU utilization even while burning a DVD, streaming video from the net and working on a presentation; 8% for CPU and 19% for memory.

9 month update
February 10, 2014
In all fairness I feel it is necessary to post an update to my previous post. First, 90 days after I installed it the WiFi would drop and not reconnect until i rebooted the modem. This normally would be that big of a deal except my home automation and alarm system run off the WiFi connection. When WiFi is lost for an extended period the security system will alert me with a continuous beeping until I deactivate it; even at 3 in the morning! Took it back and exchanged it for another thinking I may have just gotten a bad apple. Unfortunately that was not the case. Four months later the newer one started doing the same thing. There were times even rebooting would not solve the problem. As nice as it would have been to have one device that did the job of three, this was not it! Even the wired connections were beginning to run slow. I had upgraded my Time Warner to the 100Mbp package and was getting about 25 in most cases. Back to the store (yes I got the extended warranty) and I decided to go back to two devices. I went with the SB6141 which is basically the same device without wireless and routing. Plugged my Dlink DIR-655 wireless router into the 6141 and haven't looked back. The concept of an all in one device is great but the execution was well below expectation. One other thing, the interface used to configure the modem is basic at best. Most features are either on or off and some you just can't configure. Overall I would not recommend this product after using it for just under a year.

Only at Best BuyYou love the sleek lines of your PlayStation 4, HDTV and Blu-ray player. Your entertainment and gaming setup is stylish, modern and full of awesome power. The only part that might detract is when you need to replenish the power of your DUALSHOCK 4 controllers. When you add this Insignia™ Dual Controller Charger to your gaming setup, you'll be able to recharge up to two controllers in an attractive way. Plus, the compact design enables discreet storage for your DUALSHOCK 4 controllers.
Will this charger operate on US voltage (120) and European voltage (220). Sony says that their PS 4 charger will.
You would need the appropriate adapter to use outside the US. It does not show it is 220 compatible.

Yes it does. Below the power switch but not where you would accidentally keep pushing it but very convenient when you need to use it.

Yes it does. It's called the cold shot and is located on the handle right by the power. It's a good location that you can hit with your thumb when needed but not accidentally hit it.

I heard that it does not like the US 120 voltage. True?
Worked just fine in my home on 120v. No issues at all.

How may pages do they print for both black and color cartridges
I have never done an actual count of pages but it would change based on what's being printed. Printing a bunch of 8x10 pictures may use more than printing a low resolution logo. Don't expect much more than 25 8x10 pictures on average.
