Motorola Cable Modem Update Firmware

Posted on by

Last August when my introductory Comcast internet rate expired and Comcast raised the monthly modem rental fee my bill nearly doubled, so I decided to buy a cable modem instead of leasing one. Anytime I buy a piece of electronics equipment I try to buy the newest technology with the hope that it won’t be obsolete in less than a year or two. Less financial output from me and less electronics waste in recycle centers and landfills. I did a lot of research up front and compared a number of different modems, features, reviews and prices. My criteria list was fairly short: I wanted an all-in-one wireless router and modem, DOCSIS 3. Faith Into Action Daisaku Ikeda Pdf. 0+, Wireless-N, Apple and Comcast compatible, with a max price of $150.

Based on the information I gathered, I reluctantly chose the Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG6580. Most of the reviews I read were either “Great modem!” or “Buyer Beware!” and I guess I was feeling glass-half-full that day. Initial set up was a breeze. I took it out of the box, connected the coax cable then the power supply, called Comcast to initialize the modem and update my account, changed all the default username, passwords and the wifi security to my own selections and I was up and running. A quick check on SpeedTest.com showed my upload and download speeds were indeed pretty stellar, and I felt like all the time I’d put into researching this modem had paid off in spades.
