Ok, I will admit I paid my stupid tax just for waiting so long. I’ve seen Time Warner Cable raise the lease rates twice on me but did nothing for years. Then Time Warner Cable yet again raised their modem lease fee to $10.00 a month in San Diego, CA. This time I’m done. I went to the TWC website and this was an approved model that I found on Amazon. I saw the reviews and figured it would pay for itself in less than 6 months.
It took longer getting through the TWC automated phone menu then the set up of the Motorola SB5101 modem. After connecting the coaxial cable and Ethernet cable, I gave the TWC rep the MAC number off the modem. Once the rep updated the MAC number, I plugged in the power and waited about 2 minutes. I tried accessing the Internet and at first try I was up and running, surfing the web. My old TWC modem was pretty old. It might be in my mind but my modem speed seems faster. I have the Ethernet cable connected to a wireless router and worked the first time.
Motorola model SB5101U is the one I received but ordered Motorola SB5101N at this price. The modem came in a plain brown box with a generic white label. Motorola even put in a return label for their customers just in case something is not right. It took me so long to pull the trigger on owning my own modem, I paid for it… don’t you do it, there is no excuse. Buy this modem and you won’t regret it.

After Time Warner Cable doubled the cost of my modem lease, I decided to purchase my own. This product is reasonably priced, I received it in brand new condition, and it works just fine. It was delivered in just two days. I am very satisfied with my purchase!

It looks good the SB5101N..It works well..came good timing. I guest I understood it as being new..(and maybe it is) but it had Comcast labels on the box..I had to get Time Warner(which takes this kind of Modem) to adjust it on their end to hook it up..it was easy peasy..I have really no complaints.

Worked for time warner cable in San Diego without any issues. Relatively easy to set up. Have been using for one year without problems.
