(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LEUVEN, BELGIUM -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/30/10 -- Option (Euronext: OPTI; OTC: OPNVY), the wireless technology company, notes that today the European Commission has opened an anti-dumping investigation of imports of wireless wide area networking (WWAN) modems from China. Option had requested the investigation and immediate registration of imports because of the severe injury caused by the sharp increase of obviously dumped imports into the European market.
Because of the rapidity of the increase in imports and severity of the resulting injury, the Commission has at the same time initiated a safeguard investigation on the request of the Belgian Government with regard to imports of WWAN modems.
This situation in Europe is very different from the market situation in many other parts of the world where fair trading conditions prevail. There, Option's products compete well and are appreciated by its customers.
Option believes it is very important for Europe to foster a competitive environment where fair market practices and respect for relevant legislation protect the interests of all parties active in the market. The history of technology confirms that fair competition delivers the most innovation and growth. Unfair competition jeopardizes jobs, hurts end- users and developers and in the long run delays technological progress.

Broadcom Announces New Feature-Rich 802.11n VoIP Router Solutions with 3G USB Modem Support
New Solutions Deliver Maximum Performance and Optimum Portable Broadband Access
IRVINE, Calif. -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced its new Intensi-fi® XLR wireless LAN (WLAN) VoIP router system-on-a-chip (SoC) platform solutions with enhanced features that include 3G support, industry leading performance and best-in-class power consumption. System OEMs can now leverage unparalleled Broadcom® wireless silicon integration and a proven VoIP software suite to develop advanced routers. 3G functionality can be added to these new platform solutions using a USB interface, bringing Internet and network services to homes where broadband is otherwise unavailable.
Highlights/Key Facts:
-- 3G USB modems enable consumers to utilize their cellular network to create an instant Wi-Fi hotspot for whole home Internet and VoIP services. According to InStat, revenues from external 3G modems alone will reach $2.34 billion globally by the end of 2010.
-- Running a VoIP stack on the wireless router enables consumers to make high quality phone calls over the Internet. VoIP routers bring cost benefits to consumers since calls are charged as part of the Internet service instead of a separate regular telephone charge. Added services like multiple lines, conference call and caller ID are also provided at no additional charge as part of typical VoIP offerings.
-- Broadcom's 802.11n design platform with external 3G support includes router options for low-end to high-end solutions as follows:
-- The Broadcom BCM5356U (a single-stream 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11n router SoC solution)

-- The BCM47186 (a dual-stream 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11n high-performance Gigabit Ethernet router SoC solution with VoIP support)
-- To provide a strong wireless backbone for the networked home, Broadcom optimized this new 802.11n router platform with Accelerange(TM) technology -- a unique set of hardware and software enhancements that ensures more robust wireless coverage.
-- The powerful 533 MHz MIPS32 74K core CPU memory subsystem architecture allows for consistently enhanced voice quality even under high Internet data traffic conditions.
-- Broadcom uses a 65 nanometer CMOS design process and a high level of integration to reduce the number of system components on-chip, which in turn, lowers the rest-of-bill-of-materials (RBOM) cost by up to 35 percent. These new router SoC solutions further reduce cost by using two-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), making high-end routers more affordable to consumers.
-- The new Intensi-fi XLR platform builds upon the architecture of Broadcom's current 802.11n platform, and maintains data rates of up to 300 Megabits per second (Mbps).

Make a DIY Automatic Power Cycler for Flaky Internet Connections
We're all familiar with those days when your modem locks up and you have to unplug it from the wall, but if you're more familiar than most, you can create an automatic power cycler with just a few basic electronics.
While you may want to try getting a new modem first, sometimes your internet connection just doesn't agree with you and you're stuck power cycling the modem much more often than you'd like to. While you may be able to automate the rebooting process using software (since you can probably reboot your router or modem from your browser), that won't always work either. When all other solutions leave you with nothing, blogger Gigawatts shows us how to make your own power cycler that will reboot the router whenever it detects a lack of internet connection.
Depending on your experience and dedication to the project, there are a number of ways to go about building the relay. Gigawatts' original version was a bit simpler and was housed in a peanut butter jar, consisting of a transistor, a relay, a DB-9 connector, and a molex connector, but if you're a bit more experienced with electronics, he has instructions for embedding the relay inside the wireless router itself. Together with a cron task for his DD-WRT hacked router, the relay could detect when the internet connection died and automatically cut the power to the modem—a pretty clever workaround to an annoyance we're all familiar with. Hit the link for more information, and let us know your tips for power-cycling troublesome modems in the comments.
Carriers Go to Battle Over Faster Networks
by Walter S. Mossberg
Most media attention in the cellphone arena is focused on the battle between sexy super-smartphones like Apple’s new iPhone 4 or the latest models based on Google’s Android software. But there is a parallel war under way among U.S. wireless carriers to roll out new, faster data networks to link such sophisticated hand-held computers to the Internet at greater speeds, and to increase the capacity to handle all the data their owners are downloading.
This network competition is less visible and flashy, and it involves complex engineering, long time frames and techie terminology. But it is crucial to the future of these super-smartphones, of tablets like the iPad and its coming competitors, and even of laptops that run on cellular networks when their owners are traveling. The goal is to make wireless Internet access on the street as fast or faster than the access people get in homes and offices, and to overcome capacity limitations.
So, here is a very simplified explanation of what is going on, plus the results of some tests I’ve been running on the least known of these new speedier networks: T-Mobile’s “HSPA+” system, now available in some U.S. metro areas.
In a nutshell, most of the industry is gradually moving from networks dubbed as “3G,” or third generation, to faster networks called “4G,” or fourth generation. This will take several years and billions of dollars, and will be turned on city by city.
In the meantime, two of the U.S. carriers, T-Mobile and AT&T, will be deploying a souped-up interim 3G system, the aforementioned HSPA+ (the faster version of a common system called HSPA, formally known as High Speed Packet Access).
Today, all but one of the fancy super-smartphones that get all the attention, including the iPhone 4, are 3G phones that can’t even take full advantage of the faster HSPA+ variant of 3G. The sole 4G phone in the U.S. today is the Android-based HTC EVO 4G from Sprint, which is the only U.S. carrier already deploying a form of 4G. Sprint’s 4G network is based on a technology called WiMax (for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and is now available in 36 metro areas, with more coming.
The two largest U.S. wireless carriers, Verizon and AT&T, are planning 4G networks based on a technology called LTE, or Long Term Evolution. Neither has commercially deployed LTE networks in any metro area yet, though Verizon is pledging to roll it out in up to 30 metro areas by the end of this year. AT&T plans to deploy LTE in an unspecified number of cities starting in 2011, and HSPA+ in an unspecified number of cities starting late this year. T-Mobile, the smallest U.S. carrier, hasn’t unveiled any LTE plans, and is instead doubling down on HSPA+. It has so far rolled out HSPA+ in 25 metro areas, with more coming. T-Mobile claims that although HSPA+ is a 3G technology, it can achieve download speeds akin to 4G networks.
T-Mobile’s new webConnect RocketIn addition to phones, all the companies are planning to build these faster networks into data modems for laptops. Sprint and T-Mobile already sell these faster gadgets.
The speeds of all these networks, including the current 3G systems, are fuzzy. The carriers issue marketing claims that often don’t pan out in real use, partly because of variations in location, network congestion and equipment.
In my tests of numerous devices over the years, most 3G phones attained download speeds of between 500 kilobits per second and 4 megabits per second. Laptop data modems generally have done better for me than phones, getting download speeds of between 1 and 5 mbps. Upload speeds on both phones and laptops always have been much slower for me than download speeds.
In May, when I tested Sprint’s 4G EVO phone, running on its 4G network, I averaged download speeds of just 3.4 megabits per second, even though the company claims a “peak” speed of more than 10 mbps and typical real-life speeds of up to 6 mbps. (Peak speeds on all these networks are usually two to three times as high as real-life speeds.)
This week, I tested the new T-Mobile HSPA+ network in two locations in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., where the carrier told me it had deployed the faster network. T-Mobile has yet to offer a phone that can take full advantage of HSPA+ speeds, though it says 15 of its current phones will go somewhat faster in HSPA+ areas. Its only true HSPA+ device is a laptop data modem called the webConnect Rocket. T-Mobile claims HSPA+ offers peak download speeds of 21 mbps, and says that, in real-life use, its webConnect Rocket should get download speeds of 5 to 8 mbps, and sometimes as high as 10 to 12 mbps.
For my tests, I compared a standard 3G iPhone 4 running on AT&T against T-Mobile’s latest Android phone, the MyTouch 3G Slide. I did a laptop test, comparing the Rocket against a standard 3G data modem from Verizon, called the UM175, using both with the same Lenovo ThinkPad. I disabled Wi-Fi before testing.
In all the tests, the T-Mobile HSPA+ network beat the competition in download speeds, though I never saw the top claimed speeds.
In each spot, I did 10 tests of the devices and averaged their speeds. At the first location, the T-Mobile Slide barely edged out the iPhone, with a download speed averaging 2.84 mbps versus the iPhone’s 2.74 mbps. At the second location, however, the Slide’s edge grew, with an average download speed of 4.26 mbps versus 3.65 mbps for the Apple product.
The laptop tests were much more dramatic. At my first test location, the T-Mobile Rocket drove the ThinkPad to an average download speed of 4.88 megabits per second, versus just 1.36 megabits per second for the Verizon data modem. At the second location, the Rocket achieved an average download speed on the laptop of 6.15 mbps versus 1.58 mbps for Verizon’s modem.
To be fair, the tests were performed in areas of strength for T-Mobile, which may have been weaker coverage areas for AT&T and Verizon. I have gotten much better speeds from the Verizon device in other locations, though never as high as what the Rocket delivered. Also, the Verizon data modem wasn’t the carrier’s newest or possibly its best.
But even though they didn’t back up T-Mobile’s top speed claims, the tests suggest we are heading into a future where the carrier networks may finally catch up with the power of the new smartphones.

Sprint’s 4G network is based on a technology called WiMax (for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and is now available in 36 metro areas, with more coming.
The two largest U.S. wireless carriers, Verizon and AT&T, are planning 4G networks based on a technology called LTE, or Long Term Evolution. Neither has commercially deployed LTE networks in any metro area yet, though Verizon is pledging to roll it out in up to 30 metro areas by the end of this year. AT&T plans to deploy LTE in an unspecified number of cities starting in 2011, and HSPA+ in an unspecified number of cities starting late this year. T-Mobile, the smallest U.S. carrier, hasn’t unveiled any LTE plans, and is instead doubling down on HSPA+. It has so far rolled out HSPA+ in 25 metro areas, with more coming. T-Mobile claims that although HSPA+ is a 3G technology, it can achieve download speeds akin to 4G networks.
T-Mobile’s new webConnect Rocket
The speeds of all these networks, including the current 3G systems, are fuzzy. The carriers issue marketing claims that often don’t pan out in real use, partly because of variations in location, network congestion and equipment.
In my tests of numerous devices over the years, most 3G phones attained download speeds of between 500 kilobits per second and 4 megabits per second. Laptop data modems generally have done better for me than phones, getting download speeds of between 1 and 5 mbps. Upload speeds on both phones and laptops always have been much slower for me than download speeds.
In May, when I tested Sprint’s 4G EVO phone, running on its 4G network, I averaged download speeds of just 3.4 megabits per second, even though the company claims a “peak” speed of more than 10 mbps and typical real-life speeds of up to 6 mbps. (Peak speeds on all these networks are usually two to three times as high as real-life speeds.)
This week, I tested the new T-Mobile HSPA+ network in two locations in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., where the carrier told me it had deployed the faster network. T-Mobile has yet to offer a phone that can take full advantage of HSPA+ speeds, though it says 15 of its current phones will go somewhat faster in HSPA+ areas. Its only true HSPA+ device is a laptop data modem called the webConnect Rocket. T-Mobile claims HSPA+ offers peak download speeds of 21 mbps, and says that, in real-life use, its webConnect Rocket should get download speeds of 5 to 8 mbps, and sometimes as high as 10 to 12 mbps.
For my tests, I compared a standard 3G iPhone 4 running on AT&T against T-Mobile’s latest Android phone, the MyTouch 3G Slide. I did a laptop test, comparing the Rocket against a standard 3G data modem from Verizon, called the UM175, using both with the same Lenovo ThinkPad. I disabled Wi-Fi before testing.
In all the tests, the T-Mobile HSPA+ network beat the competition in download speeds, though I never saw the top claimed speeds.
In each spot, I did 10 tests of the devices and averaged their speeds. At the first location, the T-Mobile Slide barely edged out the iPhone, with a download speed averaging 2.84 mbps versus the iPhone’s 2.74 mbps. At the second location, however, the Slide’s edge grew, with an average download speed of 4.26 mbps versus 3.65 mbps for the Apple product.
The laptop tests were much more dramatic. At my first test location, the T-Mobile Rocket drove the ThinkPad to an average download speed of 4.88 megabits per second, versus just 1.36 megabits per second for the Verizon data modem. At the second location, the Rocket achieved an average download speed on the laptop of 6.15 mbps versus 1.58 mbps for Verizon’s modem.
To be fair, the tests were performed in areas of strength for T-Mobile, which may have been weaker coverage areas for AT&T and Verizon. I have gotten much better speeds from the Verizon device in other locations, though never as high as what the Rocket delivered. Also, the Verizon data modem wasn’t the carrier’s newest or possibly its best.
But even though they didn’t back up T-Mobile’s top speed claims, the tests suggest we are heading into a future where the carrier networks may finally catch up with the power of the new smartphones.

Topiary fit for a Wi-Fi signal
As neighbors go, Beverly is a keeper. When she decided to purchase a new car, her gently used Honda moved one driveway east, to me, at a bargain price. She not only shares her daily paper and trash barrel (without a word about the subscription and rural pickup fees), but food as well. I can still picture our black Lab trotting across the hayfield with a sealed package of frozen shrimp gently cradled in her jaws, compliments of Bev (who had already given the delivery dog her due treats). If she's running low on ice cream, she knows Charlie has helped himself to a dish – her freezer, unlike ours, keeps it solid, and he's ever welcome to walk over with scoop and bowl.
Granted, she benefits from our help with home repairs and maintenance of her bordering acres. And she places high value on the view of our pasture from her picture window, which often frames the Belgian and Percheron draft horses grazing, or the cows milling about in the summery dusk. But on the scale of neighborly beneficence, we still come out ahead in my mind.
She routinely prints out documents for me – I simply e-mail the text across the hayfield and later walk across to collect the fresh sheets from the shelf in her open foyer. For most of the year, I can even log on to the Web using the distant signal from her wireless Internet, saving me a monthly connection fee of my own. Between real visits, we e-mail often, sharing sightings of turkeys, coyotes, deer, and fawns. To enhance the link, Bev repositioned the modem in a window facing the one in the farmhouse I work behind.
But come summer, as the trees and hedges leaf out and the hay grows tall in the field between us, that link begins to weaken and occasionally fades away, even as our friendship flourishes. Dependent on Internet access for editing work, I tilt my laptop this way and that, prop it atop a book or box, even carry it out to a garden chair, giving the wireless card every opportunity to grab that thread, often to no avail. This year, I invested in a new wireless adaptor, which, alas, didn't improve things. Though sympathetic, Beverly couldn't get the magic box any closer to me than she already had.
I was beginning to accept that I'd have to invest in my own Internet service, but still had a couple of technology options up my sleeve – namely biceps and hands wielding hedge clippers. I waded through the knee-high hay one recent morning to tackle some invasive honeysuckle and wild grape vines wrapping around the young trees along the field's edge, and a couple of hours later regarded a new porthole through the greenery – right in line with the modem in the window. The signal leapt back to life, and though it sputters at times, I anticipate better service after the first cutting of the hay in mid-June.
My son Tim is slated to help Beverly rescreen her porch this week. Charlie needs to crawl up in her attic to discourage some squirrels from laying claim to a bedroom via the ceiling (after which he will surely dispatch a bowl of ice cream). I'll walk over soon with a new ream of paper for her printer.
In other words, all links are humming between us and our neighbor, even, for now, the most tenuous one, between our laptops.

ABI Research: More than 80 million USB modems to ship this year
ABI asks whether embedded modem modules in new computers or the recent interest in personal hotspot routers (a la MiFi) can overtake the popularity of USB dongles. Research associate Khin Sandi Lynn points out that, “In the long run, more devices are looking for a network to connect to. The wireless modem market can solve this in many ways – different form-factors, air interface protocols, and increased attention to style and cultural interests.”
Zoom Supplies its New DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem to Best Buy, Micro Center, and Staples
Zoom Telephonics, Inc. has shipped high volumes of its new DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem to Best Buy, Micro Center, and Staples.
In March 2010, Zoom achieved CableLabs (News - Alert) certification of this cable modem. But Zoom held back shipments because by that time, it hadn't received certifications from Comcast and Cox. Zoom wanted to be sure that its customers would be able to successfully use its cable modem with all U.S. service providers, includingComcast ( News - Alert), Cox, and Charter.
'We are extremely pleased that we now have the range of certifications necessary to sell our new DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem at retail in North America,' Zoom president and CEO Frank Manning, said. 'Zoom is among a very limited number of manufacturers who have the retail relationships, technical expertise, production capabilities, and customer support infrastructure needed to accomplish this.'
Cable modem rental charges are eliminated by the consumers who purchase a Zoom cable modem. These charges vary by service provider, and are typically about $60 per year.
For the cable industry, DOCSIS 3.0 is the latest standard. It also allows Model 5341 to operate at speeds up to 172 Mbps. Leading U.S. retailers and other key accounts receive lower speed DOCSIS 2.0 Model 5241 from Zoom.
In related news, Zoom Telephonics has filed a Form 8-K in connection with the acquisition of UHY LLP's New England practice by accounting firm Marcum LLP. UHY LLP had been the auditor for Zoom Telephonics.

Surfboard Sb5120 Cable Modem
I have read the instructions carefully but I get stumped on how to connect my DVD player directly to the internet. My poor little mind just cannot comprehend. I have a Motorola sb5120 Surfboard Cable Modem and no Router. I tried to copy the information onto the CD as they requested on the website but the DVD player says it does not accept CDs.
Here is the website that explains.... but I am stumped!
http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-i...
Any help would be appreciated.
I know...I am obviously confused. Check out the website link that explains it all. Hopefully that will clear things up.
Your question might need to be reworded, or you are terribly confused as I certainly am right now.
How can you save a program, using a DVD PLAYER and trying to put it on a CD?
The rest is such a mess that I can't or won't even comment on it except to ask, please get someone (who knows a little bit about downloading and burning to DVD or cd"s) to come to your house and show them what you have and let them try to sort it out for you.

Seek Out Stronger Wi-Fi Hotspots On Android
It's been out for a while now, however Recombu's review of it brought the app to my attention. Shown on a bar graph with varying colors, each Wi-Fi connection in the area is displayed along with the "channel rating," which will give you some idea of how many people are connected to that signal. In the picture shown, the green signal is the lowest of all—which means it's also the busiest. The red arc is the highest on the graph, which is the one you should be connecting to.
If there's one drawback with this app, it's that you can't connect to your chosen hotspot within the app itself. You'll have to nip into the Android's own Wi-Fi section, or download the Wi-Fi Connector Library app from the same developers, which will do the job for you. [Recombu]

USB Wireless Modems shipments to cross 80 million in 2010, says ABI
Wireless Modems shipments are expected to surpass 80 million units in 2010, according to a new study by ABI Research.
Wireless modem devices come in various forms including USB modems, embedded modules, PC cards and wireless routers. However, the share of USB modems is more than 50% of the modem models available in the market due to its versatility and pricing factor, according to the research firm.
Jeff Orr, principal analyst at ABI Research, said: "USB dongles connect the subscriber to a specific network rapidly and without installing drivers. As new networks using the latest 3G or 4G protocols emerge, the USB modem is ready to update the installed base of portable and mobile computers."
In addition, the research firm said that the mobile broadband modems available in the market support a variety of air interface technologies and approximately 50% of the wireless modems in the market support GSM, GPRS, EDGE or HSDPA.

New Internet, phone provider in Red Bluff
By GEOFF JOHNSON -DN Staff Writer
Red Bluff residents have the opportunity to combine wireless Internet and land-line phone service in one device.
Open Range, a company specializing in wireless Internet services and funded in part by the US Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Program, was slated to debut its services over the weekend of June 26-27. Using fourth-generation, or 4G, wireless technology, the company said it can offer download speeds of up to three megabits per second with minimal set up.
Subscribers receive a combination modem, wireless router, broadband router, digital phone service device and answering machine. The modem picks up the Internet signal and relays it through the router, making it available to any household computers with wireless Internet capabilities.
The equipment doubles as a phone line, using Voice-over Internet Protocol. By running phone conversations through the internet, customers effectively receive unlimited long-distance.
"We call it the "Magic Box' because it can make the complexity associated with these five devices disappear," said Dan Gillan, the company's market director for Northern California.
The simple, self-contained box has little in the way of cords or antennas and is easily transported, he said.
The technology works through using a receiver in Red Bluff, which sends Internet traffic through low-powered radio equipment. Because the tower is in Red Bluff, the signal may be limited,at first The company will not make the mistake of selling the technology to customers unless they can receive the signal first, Gillan said.
"We can actually take a look and see if our customers are in a serviceable area," he said.
Gillan said the company will provide live, local customer support.
More information, including pricing, is available by visiting openrange.net or by calling 1-877-739-0890.

Traffic2Net watches the data flowing through your USB or ExpressCard cell modem, and shows you a running tally in the menu bar. Pop-up alarms can be set to warn you when you're hitting the ceiling of your current connection--or just blowing too much of your cell data mindlessly surfing Facebook.
Nearly every legitimate means of getting your MacBook online has a monthly cap on the amount of data you may download, and your Mac will happily blow past that limit by blithely downloading podcasts downloads, while you're sleeping. It's enough to remind some of us--the demographic that fondly remembers the original A-Team--of what it was like to go online in the Reagan administration. Back then, we paid by the hour of online time, an experience we were glad to forget.
iPhone users who were simultaneously granted kosher tethering from AT&T and a monthly cap on their data usage are temporarily out of luck; Nova Media is still testing iPhone tethering over USB and Bluetooth for accuracy, and expects to have an update out within a few weeks. In the meantime, check out either iStatMenus or MenuMeters, either of which will provide live and cumulative bandwidth statistics, but don't provide Traffic2Net's feature of maintaining those counts over a billing period.
Traffic2Net requires Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 and runs $15 for U.S. and Canadian residents, €15 for Europeans. A 30-day full trial version is available for download.

Virgin prepares for 400 Mbps broadband
Virgin Media is readying its network for broadband speeds in excess of 400 Mbps. Already the cableco is preparing to run speeds of 100 Mbps, scheduled before the end of the year, and has stepped up trials of a 200 Mbps service.A spokesman for Virgin Media told Broadband TV News that although it has no immediate plans to run at 400 Mbps, it is preparing Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) to handle the increased speeds. Typically customers on its 10 Mbps and 20 Mbps speeds are offered DOCSIS 2 modems. Customers on the current top speed of 50 Mbps are provided with a custom-built Ambit DOCSIS 3 modem and it is new subscribers to this tier that are likely to receive 400 Mbps-capable modems before the end of the year. “From a live service point of view it won’t matter which modem the customer has as we provision them to whatever service the customer requires,” said Virgin’s spokesman.
The 50 Mbps service has in the region of 70,000 subscribers.
Last week, Manuel Kohnstamm, MD public policy and communications, Liberty Global told the Digital TV in Central and Eastern Europe conference in Bucharest that UPC would eventually offer internet access speeds of up to 400 Mbps.
DOCSIS 3 is currently capable of running speeds of 390 Mbps, by running 8 bonded channels in parallel, but the availability of new silicon is expected to take this up to 800 Mbps at the turn of the year.
A new trial will shortly go live in Coventry, previous trials in Ashford, Kent have involved in the region of 100 participants.

In Oct 2006, we decided to leave Verizon DSL and switched our high-speed internet service to Comcast Cable High-Speed Internet because I had a very bad experience with the Verizon customer service people regarding the DSL and phone issue.
Anyway, I called Comcast up and Comcast charged me $19.95 to set everything up at our condo, they spent at least 2 hours to run a cable from downstairs to upstairs room. I thought it was worth it$19.95 for 2 hours of installation service.
They asked me whether I wanted to rent a modem for $4.95/month or I could go to Best Buy and buy my own modem for $79.95. It made sense to buy my own modem because $4.95*12/month=$59.49/year and $59.49*2/years=$118/2years, so buying the modem would be cheaper than renting it.
What happened next?
I went to a Best Buy and bought the D-link (DCM-202) Cable Modem because it was the only one that was on the shelf. I gave the cable modem to the Comcast technician and the technician connected the D-link (DCM-202) Cable Modem to our D-LINK wireless router and everything worked great!
What do I like about the D-link (DCM-202) Cable Modem?
There is really nothing much to say about this modem, because once you take it out of the box, you just have to connect it straight from the wall cable connector to your computer or you can connect it to your wireless router if you want to have a wireless internet access at your house.
- I really love the slim design. It is very light and it looks good.
- It works flawlessly since Oct 2006 without any major problems, except the minor lost connection problem once in a while.
- It is very easy to install and setup.
What I don't like about the D-link (DCM-202) Cable Modem?
If you read the other reviews, the main major complaint about the D-link (DCM-202) Cable Modem is, the modem sometimes drops the cable connection!
- The modem sometimes will disconnect itself from the router and I have to turn the modem off fop 30 seconds, turn the router off for 30 seconds, and turn the modem on and the router on again to gain new IP address.
- I guess, this modem needs to be restarted by turning it on and off every month or 2 months to make sure it will run properly.
- It does get very hot and once it is hot, you will lose your internet connection. It is very annoying and the solution is to take the power cord off the modem and let it sit there for 30 minutes to cool it off, and you can plug it back in.
Will I recommend the D-link (DCM-202) Cable Modem to my friends and family?
I have mixed feeling about this modem, I am not really sure if I want to tell you to buy it because it does have problems, but so far for more than 1 year, it is still running smoothly. I guess, if you need a modem really bad, it is not a bad modem to get.
Conclusion
The D-link (DCM-202) Cable Modem is a pretty reliable modem, because it is still running for more than a year now and once in a while, the connection of the modem will be lost and you need to restart the modem by turning it off. So far, there is no major problems with our Comcast High-Speed Internet Cable connection and the Comcast technician doesn't seem to mind about the model. So thank you for reading my review and I hope it has been very helpful. Have a great day!

The Comcast supplied modem I was using was dropping off line randomly, and always at the worst times. After doing some research (while on hold to Comcast’s Help Desk) I decided to buy my own modem. I have no idea why I have not done this already. It pays for itself in 8 months and I had my last modem for three years….
Great modem, simple set up. The hardest thing was trying to explain to the Comcast tech that I was on an IP phone, and when he registered the new modem I would be disconnected, so he better get all the info he needs now. Of course he did not get all the info he needed from me before disconnecting the old modem, so we were cut off and I had to call them back on my cell…I digress, the SB5101 is a fine modem. it’s been running for two weeks now without an issue. Buy it! It will save you money!

Our ‘Terayon’ modem that came with our ‘Adelphia’ broadband cable connection died after 2 plus years, so my cable/internet provider swapped out the defective modem for this new ‘Motorola’. I was a bit leery and concerned about having to hook up another modem for fear that something would surely go wrong with the hookup on our 2 PC router network, and I would have to call a tech or a consultant. It took about 3 minutes to open the box, hookup the power, cable, and ethernet connectors, and attempt to go online. There was NO software installation, and NO reprogramming or changing any parameters or network settings. NONE! The modem instantly powered up and magically recognized the network and cable data signal, and I was good to go! ‘Plug and play’ heaven! And the performance is better than the older ‘Terayon’.

This modem blows my old Toshiba out of the water. I have a home network and internet phone too, and even when my Toshiba modem was newer, I still had to powercycle / reset it (and my router) every couple of days. However, I have had the motorola for over 2 weeks now and have not had to reset anything on the network. Very solid, and installation was easy. I highly recommend this modem.

I recommend this unit. Simply an excellent product. Setup was very easy to follow. I screwed the coax connector into my CATV wall outlet, connected to my modem and plugged in an ethernet cable from my desk top computer to the modem. Follow the start up disk which has graphic instructions so you do not need an expensive service technician to make a house call. The modem has both ethernet and USB ports. I am not a tech head, so I needed something that was an easy install. Delivery was very slow, shipped from from Blue Proton Consulting, when the modem arrived by UPS, I received it within 2 weeks, opened the box up, plugged it in, called Comcast technical phone support and gave them the serial number and MAC number that was on the bottom of the modem. I was connected in 2 minutes. I previously had a RCA modem that was much slower… the speed of the RCA crawled either because Comcast’s system had changed or the old modem’s could not keep up with it. The RCA deteriorated and failed after 3 years of hard work. The performance of the Motorola is very noticable and faster with a fast connection to the internet. Motorola locates the standby button on the top where it is easily accessible. Why rent this unit from your Cable company when you can buy it for three months rental charge?
I am using a Linksys Wireless Router with this modem running a desk top and three lap tops. Even with all four users connected, there is no problem with connectivity or bandwidth. I recommend that you re- boot both the computer and the router after the modem is first activated.
I purchased a high quality ethernet cable to use with this new modem.
This modem does give off as much thermal heat as the RCA modem did… it runs much cooler. I am using an ethernet connection to my Linksys wireless router and not a USB cable. This modem has an option to use USB connectors (with USB and ethernet cables provided) which is an option connecting the modem directly to your computer.

Very simple to install (just plug it in), fair price, everybit as fast as the modem I was renting from my cable internet supplier for $3.00/month. You have to call your internet provider so they can do whatever they do to activate the modem in their system, which is easy enough–the tech guy I was talking to basically informed me that this is one of the best on the market.

This is the modem that Comcast prefers and I bought it on Amazon at a savings of over $25 from buying it at Bestbuy (Comcast provider). Easy to install and works perfect. Just make sure you call Comcast and give them the number on the back of the modem so they can reset your account. We have not had one moment of problem with it and I wouldn’t call myself a computer savy person. I just wanted to buy preferred equipment at a savings and found Amazon had the best price. I paired this with a Linksys Cable/DSL Router with a 4 port 10/100 switch so my husband and I could both be on our computers at the same time without having to have a network established. Like I said, we haven’t had a moments problem with either one of them.

Why Use ADSL Wireless Modem
In today’s world of constant connections, in which people are getting a lot more mobile each day, the old “tapped to the wall” dial-up modem of yesterday simply fails to cut it anymore. But there are numerous alternatives available to connect to the world wide web. The challenge is… how will you select the right one so that you can keep up with your lifestyle, while still being cost effective?
On the subject of DSL modems, there are 3 options available. ADSL modems, cable DSL modems, and wireless DSL modems. Let me compare the 3 real quick. An ADSL modem connects via your traditional phone line, so this option require a phone connection in the area. The advantage of ADSL modem is that you won’t be sharing bandwidth with other people in your neighborhood, however since most companies will limit your bandwidth anyway, you will not notice much faster speeds.
A DSL cable modem connects via your cable line, allowing you to stay connected to the net constantly. The huge downside is, if you don’t already have a cable connection close to your computer, you will need to wait for your cable provider to come and install both the connection and your modem for you. Whereas a DSL wireless modem connects using the wireless network that providers are constructing worldwide. They operate through radio frequency, similar to how your mobile phone works, but have much faster speeds than many cellular networks.
All options provide comparable cost, both at the start as well as in monthly service charges. And also the capability of nearly all home networks and home computers means that your speed and capabilities will be the equal to all of them. Now, how do you choose among the three options? Which one offers great advantage?
Wireless DSL modems do! Wireless DSL modems have one option which no other modem offers. They can go completely anywhere, within a wireless coverage area, and still connect to the Internet. No more plugging your modem in to the phone line, or waiting forever for the cable company to set up a connection near your computer. Simply plug in the power, turn on your computer, and you are all set to go! A DSL wireless modem is a great option for individuals in more rural areas, where traditional ADSL and cable DSL is not yet available. Most wireless networks are broadening into rural areas, which makes it the best choice against slow dial-up or pricey satellite Internet providers.
With your wireless modem, you can go anywhere within your provider’s network and still go online. There is also the advantage of having a built in wireless network with your modem, therefore laptops and other mobile devices can connect automatically simply by plugging your modem into the wall – no other wires required! Wireless Internet is getting a lot more usual in today’s mobile generation – and with the DSL router wireless modems currently available, there is no reason you can’t stay online, even on the go!

Makes the BlackBerry as a modem for the iPad
And the most exciting thing for us is, that the BlackBerry device was very friendly with the iPad, so we can make the BlackBerry as a modem (tethering modem) to access the Internet using the iPad. By using the WiFi feature also owned a BlackBerry and iPad apparently this can be done, and this method becomes warm conversation at one of the leading BlackBerry forums.
To do this, we are required to download an application called iBluever cydia and install it on iPad device and install the application on the BlackBerry, called PDANet (maybe we are not unfamiliar with the last application, yaahh, it was never used on Palm devices, long before the BlackBerry comes … oops).
After all applications were installed on each device so we can activate the WiFi on the iPad. For the record, we must have access to Internet data packets using Internet access using a BlackBerry, because it makes data access a BlackBerry with a BlackBerry device as a modem does not enter into the unlimited data package (yes, I know most readers know this Twitteling ..
). For more details, we observe there are good references are the steps to do it through a forum that I meant earlier.Good news for those iPod Touch users, that the tricks above can also be used for the iPod touch device and not just for the iPad. although the connection is not as fast as 3G connectivity but is more than enough to connect the iPad or iPod Touch with the virtual world while it is far from a WiFi connection.

Wi-REACH Classic’s battery can even be recharged during operation using the supplied AC adapter or a special two-headed USB cable that recharges the battery from the USB ports of a laptop computer.
“Wi-REACH Classis delivers WiFi, routing, and mobility to any 3G USB modem,” noted Erez Lev, Connect One’s VP sales, “By creating multiuser mobile Internet connectivity, Wi-REACH Classic enhances the modem owner’s investment. Highly portable and completely cordless, Wi-REACH Classic fits easily into your pocket.”
Wi-REACH Classic enables cellular providers to bring value to their existing 3G customer base, and cellular accessory stores can sell into the large aftermarket of 3G data products.
