User questions & answers

Question:	I am thinking of replacing my Comcast issued Modem/Router with Zoom 5350. We will use it for internet TV (Roku)...Will this help in streaming? Comcast modem is very slow and unreliable
Answer:	No it doesn't. However, I have a Ooma box (internet phone) that plugs into the back of the Cable Modem (standard Ethernet jack) and it works great. The back of the 5352 modem has a power jack, cable in, and 4 Ethernet out ports.
Question:	time warner
Answer:	You hook this up by the coaxial port.
Question:	vpn
Answer:	The sb6121 only has speeds of 172 Mbps download and up to 131 Mbps upload. This model has up to 343 Mbps download and 131 Mbps upload.
Question:	I am having problems with this combo. Can I disconnect the Router part of this
Answer:	It depends on your needs. Needs are based on the number of devices connected and the size of area you are trying to cover. I would highly recommend a mesh network unless your home is 1200sqft or smaller. A centrally located router could cover that. The biggest problem is getting the 5ghz frequency to reach throughout the home. The 5ghz gives you speeds over 30mbps on wireless devices. 5ghz will reach roughly 40ft in all directions from your access point (ap). A mesh system gives you multiple ap and thus more area covered by the 5ghz.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this modem have a phone jack? I have comcast triple play n I need a modem with a phone jack so my phone service can work. Thanks in advance
Answer:	why r the LED's burning out they should last 100,000 hours. poor design to high a voltage going to them Gerry Jenkins 12/14/2015 someone dinking 2 mush spiked tea china...think sew. they should all b recalled for fix.
Question:	Does this modem work well with COX
Answer:	Every other month, I clean both of my fountains. I take all the little marbles out and scrub them down. I clean the inside and outside of it as well. I replace everything, fill it about 3/4 with water, adding some water solutions as well to keep it from getting scummy. (Fountec: Tough Algae Controller and Protec: Strong Surface Protection) then after I have it plugged in, I pour the rest of the water in, placing the crystal ball on top until it catches and starts to flow beautifully! Also, make sure the filter tab is moved to the highest flow position. I remember the first time I cleaned it. I accidentally moved that first time and it didn't flow well. Once I figured that out, no more issues! Hope this helps. I have had both my fountains for almost 3 years now and absolutely LOVE them! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask :)
Question:	Sorry if redundant - My question is "Will it work WITHOUT the need for routing?" I don't want/need routers or wifi just a direct to PC blue cable ethernet connection. Arioshea's question was phrased... "need" a router. My question would be - "Will it work WITHOUT the need for routing?" I thought Simon Williams' answe
Answer:	Mine does that if the water is to low. It is not a good sign if there is enough water Pump could be going
Question:	does it have built in wifi
Answer:	You're able to modify how much of a flowing water sound it will make by the amount of rocks you put at the base of the "waterfall". The only time it will make a "pump sound" is when it is low on water. It is a very pleasant water feature. I've had more for about a year with no issues and it runs for at least several hours per day.

User questions & answers

Question:	WILL MY OOMA PHONE WORK WITH THIS ZOOM MODEM
Answer:	The 8x doesn't refer to the number of devices you can connect to it. You only want to connect one device and that's your WiFi router. You wireless router determines how many devices can be connect based on the available number of ip addresses on the wireless device. The 8x refers to the speed of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). Its informing you on the speed of DOCSIS 2.0 vs the newer DOCSIS 3.0. Ultimately your speed will be determined by how much you want to pay your internet provider. And you can determine how many devices you want to connect by the router you choose.
Question:	WHAT IS THE RANGE
Answer:	If you only need to have one computer hooked up to the internet you do not need a router. If you want to hook up more than one computer or if you want a wireless network, you will need to buy the appropriate router. My internet speed went from 20mb to 100mb(the speed I pay extra for). TWC has also stopped charging me $8.00 a month for the use of their inadequate equipment.
Question:	I have digital phone also, does the 5352 have a phone jack to plug into
Answer:	No you can't. You would be plugging a modem into a modem. The Zoom input is expecting a straight DSL/phone connection, not input from another modem. You need to just buy a standard router without the modem built in. They are cheaper anyway.
Question:	Do you hook up to it by coaxial or Ethernet cable
Answer:	I have used zoom modems for years and have excellent luck with the unit. You may want to double check your VPI and VCI settings. Here is a Zooms customer help site. zoom.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/846Good luck

Product description

The Zoom Model 5345 is a 343 Mbps cable modem certified for money-saving own-your-own cable modem programs by Comcast XFINITY, Time Warner Cable, and other leading cable service providers. Charter Spectrum approved. Owning a certified own-your-own modem eliminates modem rental charges that are typically $8 to $10 dollars per month. The Model 5345 Gigabit (10-100-1000 Mbps) Ethernet port connects to your Windows or Macintosh computer, router, wireless access point, HomePlug adapter, or other Ethernet-enabled device. When used with a router, the high speed Internet service can be shared with multiple devices. The number of channels supported by a cable modem is the primary indicator of a modem's top speed. This modem is 8x4, which supports eight channels for downloads, and four channels for uploads. Eight channels for data downloads make this modem up to twice as fast as competing modems that support only four channels. Because this 8x4 modem uses the cable network more efficiently, average download speeds can be faster, even for service speeds below the modem's top speed of 343 Mbps. A Full-Band Capture Digital Tuner lets service providers deliver faster, more reliable Internet. The 5345 is certified by CableLabs to support the latest DOCSIS 3.0 standard plus DOCSIS 2.0 and 1.1 for use with older cable systems.

User questions & answers

Question:	I want to buy this latest model mg7700 asap, when is gonna available
Answer:	Not sure about the answer to your question. The MG7700 is very popular at the moment and all you can do is keep monitoring availability.
Question:	What is the range of this modem? I'm looking for a strong signal throughout a 4,000 sq ft home
Answer:	Model MG7700 should provide coverage to a large house. Unfortunately, because of so many variables involved, there isn't a way to measure the range (or speed) experience a user will have. Factors, including positioning of the Gateway, building materials, obstruction or even your neighbors WiFi usage, play a role in what will both range and speed. That said, model MG7700 is equipped with a sophisticated built in Dual Band AC 1900 WiFi router. Support for concurrent 2.4 and 5 GHz bands with AnyBeam beamforming at those bands, focuses the signal on wireless clients to allow further improvements to wireless performance, including range. Model MG7700's built in WiFi router will increase your chances for a better WiFi experience over other Gateways on the market.
Question:	Do you have to pay for extended phone tech support in the event it stops working
Answer:	Motorola has a pretty decent 2 year warranty, with good phone support even through this Novel Corona-virus causing many companies to lessen customer support. This is a solid modem that saves me $185 every year with Comcast. It's interesting as I had Comcast service 12 years ago and back then one could own their own modem to save you $15, but they would charge you the same $15 for the access card a month. I went back to Comcast as Frontier is at deaths door. These days Comcast doesn't charge for the access card as the FCC put the kibosh on cable companies being in the cable rental business. At the end of the day, this Motorola's paid for itself twice over and still counting.
Question:	Are you able to install firmware updates? When I owned a combo modem+router, Cox locked out firmware updates because it was a cable modem
Answer:	No, you can't personally update the firmware, apparently, the cable company gets it from Motorola, and updates it for you. I guess for compatibility or maybe some other reason.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does it say 4x ethernet ports in your description where there is only one
Answer:	Because Amazon hasn't corrected their product subscription. I submitted one two weeks ago and has yet to be done. If you need more than 1 ethernet port, then this one is not for you. This has only (1) 2.5 Multi-Gig port.
Question:	Does netgear cm500-1aznas work with tds provider
Answer:	Yes. But you need to call the TDS customer service and provide your CMAC or SN to register your device. These numbers are on the box and the unit
Question:	Can you use a phone to ethernet splitter for voice to work
Answer:	I have never heard of a phone to internet splitter, at least not expressed in those terms. However, for VOIP (which means Voice Over Internet Protocall), you must have at least one phone jack in a modem, or a modem-router combination. Some modems have two such jacks, which could provide two different "lines." Most importantly, you must have your internet service provider's PERMISSION to install and use such a modem, or modem-router combination! My own ISP (Wow, aka Wowway.com) REFUSED to give such permission because that would cut into their profits, since they would no longer receive a monthly FEE to RENT their age-old junk, much of which are at least five years old, which is like a millenia in this day of super-fast-paced electronic offerings. I had to send back every VOIP-capable modem I bought from Amazon and other places because my ISP REFUSED to enable them to work with their so-called service(s). Talk about anti-competitive business practices ... U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), are you paying any attention?
Question:	I understand that this modem says it will only work with xfinity. but has anyone tried this with spectrum? (aka time warner cable
Answer:	Hello. I am writing this Dec 2, 2020 and just activated this modem 2 days ago with Spectrum. It is not on the list of approved modems, but oddly enough the CM400 is. I just told the tech support who activated it that it was compatible and it's worked fine with no problems. I went from 100-120 mbs on my 100 mb plan to 250 to 450 mbs, still on the 100 mb plan. This modem is not on the list of approved models but it seems to work fine so far without periodic latency/drops like the Arris model from Spectrum had.

Question:	Does this modem support phone service from Xfinity
Answer:	No.
Question:	Is there any way i could use this in china? i've entered pppoe id and pw provided by isp on wan setting which is set as l2tp, but no luck
Answer:	Wherever you are...; be it China or the USA; you must take your device to the local office of your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and have them approve it plus register it with their system. ISP protocols are generally universal worldwide but also universal is the premise that you may not access their system without their permission and they expect to get paid for providing the service
Question:	Is this router compatable for voip phone services provided by the cable provider
Answer:	No.
Question:	how is the warranty isuue? how long
Answer:	Warranty is for 3 months. I'd recommend to buy a new one not refurbished. My modem isn't working any more.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this support xfinity extreme 1200mbps ? it's not on the supported device list
Answer:	The Arris S33 is a DOCIS 3.1 capable device 32 x 8 rated for speeds up to 2.5 Gb. While the modem is indeed on Xfinity supported device list (check detailed discussions on dslreports.com), what matters is your router. Ensure you have a router capable of 1+Gb speeds.
Question:	Is there a way to mount this device to a wall
Answer:	We recommend placing the device on a tabletop in an open space to avoid any interference
Question:	Is this modem compatible with suddenlink
Answer:	It will work at the lower speeds since it is capable of up to 2.5Gb but runs just fine as low as 100mbps/5mbps (down/up) with 32x8 channels. Suddenlink allows ARRIS SB6190 and the S33 is a superior upgrade.
Question:	Can you use both ethernet ports at the exact same time
Answer:	Update...... I have picked mine up from BestBuy and YES you can use both Ports at the same time. I have the 2.5 to my PC and the other port to my Asus Ax11000 router. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Confirming that only one device can be connected to the modem, despite additional lan ports? you can't connect, say your pc and a router at same time
Answer:	The MB8600 will allow for one device. You can connect your PC to the MB8600, or connect a router to the MB8600.If, in the very unusual situation, you are paying for and receiving more than one IP address from your provider, then you can directly connect up to 4 devices to the MB8600.
Question:	I also need wifi, what do you recommend
Answer:	The MB8600 modem will work with any WiFi router. Given the speed of the MB8600, you should be using at least an AC1900 router and given the other devices in your network, you might be able to take advantage of a wireless speed even faster than AC1900.The Ethernet port on the MB8600 simply plugs into the WiFi router of your choice. The router should be current enough to have a Gigabit WAN port (10/100/1000 Ethernet port), since you will need that for the speeds that the MB8600 can deliver. And for now, 1 Gbps service is the fastest cable service Comcast is providing in the US. When Comcast or other cable Internet service providers begin providing service speeds over 1Gbps, the MB8600 has the bonded Ethernet ports which will allow the MB8600 to deliver speeds above 1 Gbps. We are not aware of a consumer-home/small office router that does Ethernet port bonding today, but they are coming. Ethernet port bonding is available on Enterprise level routers (routers used in large organizations), but we can't recommend that class of product for a consumer at this point. They are more complicated than you need and more expensive. Bonded Ethernet ports for consumers will appear by the time Comcast is ready to begin delivering speeds above 1Gbps and the MB8600 will be ready to deliver those speeds.In summary: Use at least an AC1900 wireless router Be sure the router you choose has a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port.
Question:	Does this use the now-notorious Intel Puma 6 chipset
Answer:	Model MB8600 and all Motorola products use Broadcom chipsets and do not have the problem associated with the Puma 6 chipset.
Question:	Do all four Ethernet ports on this modem output the same amount of bandwidth or are there only certain ports that operate at maximum capacity
Answer:	The reason for four ports on a modem requires some explanation. It is important to understand the MB8600 does not do routing. The MB8600 is a modem only. A router can be connected to any of the MB8600 GigE ports. The link between the router and the modem is then capable of using the full rate of the one Gbps service Comcast currently can provide with their new DOCSIS 3.1 service. In the future, Comcast and other cable services are expected to offer services faster than on 1 Gbps. When those faster services are offered, the additional ports in the MB8600 will be needed. Ports 1 and 2 can be bonded to allow up to 2 Gbps to be delivered by the MB8600. The other two ports on the MB8600 are there to allow additional port bonding for speeds over 2 Gbps. When Comcast has service speeds over 1 Gbps, the router connected to the MB8600 also needs to do port bonding to take advantage of the port bonding in the MB8600. Routers used by consumers today do not support port bonding. Some routers used in corporate networks do support port bonding. In the future, routers used in homes and small businesses will be sold that support port bonding so they can take advantage of future service speeds that will be faster than 1Gbps. In summary, the four ports on the MB8600 are there to allow the MB8600 to deliver service speeds above 1 Gbps WHEN THOSE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. That is good design. Think twice before you buy a modem that pretends to offer speeds above 1Gbps and does not have multiple ports that can be bonded. You can not get a speed above 1 Gbps unless you have a way to get the fast speed out of the modem. The MB8600 is designed to allow speeds above 1 Gbps to be delivered to a router with bonded GigE ports. Other modems are not as well designed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this router quiet/almost silent
Answer:	I don't hear it. The fans inside to cool it are quiet. Not like a Comcast DVR that you can hear from another room. You can even disable lights from flashing so it won't stand out.
Question:	Is this router works with verizon fios
Answer:	No
Question:	Do i have to use "smart connect," or can i choose for myself which band i connect each device to
Answer:	As long as the device you're trying to connect can see both bands, you can connect to either one.
Question:	can a phone line be added to this unit
Answer:	There isn't a phone jack, per se, but you can use any Ethernet service like Obi200 (provided they don't do any 'Mandatory upgrades' Shenanigans, again) and Google Voice. It works perfectly, just you gotta use ethernet and not phone line/Cable company provided Junk.
