Negative Positive
Title: acceptable performance
Review: It looks better than the ugly RCA modem but it may not perform better. Like others who don't want to pay the monthly fee for the modem, I bought this to replace the RCA modem provided by Comcast. After I installed the Linksys, the connection drops frequently. I call Comcast and they sent a technician to check. The technician ran a test to check the signal strenght. It was 3. The normal range should between 0 and 16 so 3 is in the low range and he said that may be why the connection drops. The incoming coaxial cable splits two ways, one goes to the TV and the other goes to the modem. That weekens the signal further. He suggested not to split the cable and make it go to the modem directly. After that, the modem works fine. So, the major problem is not entirely on Linksys. However, if the RCA modem can maintain the connection using the same weak signal, why can't Linksys do it?
Is the review positive or negative?
