Hi All,
Has anyone used the Cable Modems from Linksys - WCG200 or BEFCMU10 ?
Any suggestions on how they perform? Do they perform as well as the
Cable Modems from Motorola (eg: SB5100) ?
Thanks for your time.

I replaced my Motorola Surfboard 4100 with a Linksys BEFCMU10. The 4100
could not do the Gold speeds so I had to upgrade. I picked the Linksys based
on cost and cost alone. I have never had a problem, but I have no real way
of measuring performance.
My Linksys BEFCMU10 is connected to a Linksys RP31P2 Router.
Using http://speedtest.chartermi.net/ ... my speeds are:
TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.3.3e
click START to begin

I just installed a BEFCMU10 this weekend, replacing an old Toshiba
PCX1100. So far it seems to be doing OK. I've been running pings every
second since yesterday afternoon. 13 hours had no drops, 5 hours had
only 1 drop, 7 hours had 2 drops, 2 hours had 3 drops, and 2 hours had 4
drops. That's 99.98% reliability so far. I did an 8-hour test with my
old modem last week and got only 99.83% reliability.

Just curious. Who'd you run your D.O.S. attack on?
