I bought the modem, model number, etc. based on the modem that I was renting from comcast. I am not a techi type person, but hooked it up as it was with my computer. I followed the online instructions on my computer to replace the old unit and it has worked ever since. The whole process took about 20 minutes! I have had this modem for about 4 months and it has already paid for itself in rental savings. I recommend this product if you are renting a modem.
I needed a modem that was more up to date than the other one I had bought. This one was priced very well so I took a shot at it. IT has been a GREAT modem with excellent speed and compatibility. Love that it has an internet on and off button on the front and it is so small. Great size for the power of it! I highly recommend it if you need a new modem but don't want to have to pay a lot for it.
Instead of leasing a cable modem, why don't you just buy one for your residential Comcast cable? You could send $20 shipped and make your money back within 6 months. After that, you are starting to make money because you don't have to pay the cable company for leasing the modem. The modem is very straight forward. It has a connector for power and another connector for coaxial cable in the back. Some models have internet on/off in the front but not all do. Once you have connected the modem properly, you just call your cable company and have them "provision" the cable modem for your account. Provisioning just means that the cable company registers the MAC address of the cable modem (sort of like a serial number for network devices). Once you're done you are good to go. I've used the cable modem for every day for internet and its been very reliable.Read full review
RCA Modem was used but much better than a refurbished modems that Comcast uses, after 6 years of paying Comcast $3.00 per month it was time to save some money. During these hard time every dollar counts and now Comcast has less of a monopoly on me. You will need to call tech. support to install the modem, with the S/N on the bottom of modem or your computer will show " Problem Finding Server ".
The local cable provider wanted to charge $5/month for cable modem rental. At that price, a used cable modem off eBay can pay for itself in less than 3 months! Modem works great. My internet speed isn't in one of the top tiers, so no problems with this DCM425 not being the latest and greatest.
