The Motorola SURFboard 5100 / 5101 is a 1.1 and 2.0 Certified cable modem capable of providing up to 38Mbps, and 30 Mbps data rate. The modem features both USB and connectivity, as well as web based diagnistics for quick troubleshooting. The SURFboard 5100 incorporates 2.0 Advanced Time Division Multiple Access (A-) and Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (S-) technologies to provide up to three times greater capacity than 1.0/1.1 systems. The SURFboard SB5100 also features a top-mounted stand-by button that quickly isolates the USB and connection to the PC without disconnecting the cable modem from the RF network. Great Modem, no problems with it, purchased one to lower monthly cable bill has paid itself off a long time ago. Only downside in the onboard interface is that it doesn't show you what upload/download speeds in KB that you are negotiated at, but all other information such as signal strength and frequencies are there. Comcast has pushed updates that worked automatically with no user interaction from my end, didn't even know it happened till I went in and found a newer version of the software was in place, which provided the recent speed upgrade Comcast has doled out, 8mbps/256kbps with the speed tier which this Modem handles nicely.

Works great with my 8 Mb service from Comcast. But that is probably because I rearly get the full 8Mb of bandwidth I'm paying for.
If I'm up in the middle of the night it is blindingly fast. Durring the day it's just OK. But thats more Comcast's fault then Motorola.
And yes Comcast does not like it when they find out you have a router and multipal computers connected. But I just lie to them and say 'No I dont have a router!' , and 'No I dont have more then one computer!' , and 'No you cant come to my house and check'.
When they do show up, my big german sheppard ask's them to leave. I think I was better off with DSL.
It's not as fast as cable but it is consistent. I got what I was paying for. Skippydunbar, thats not true they dont support routers, but they dont NOT allow you to have them. They only support their own routers VIA home networking customers:) otherwise just residential customers can do what they please, however if the modem is online and active but its your router thats having trouble then thats your problem, or your router manufactures problem:D anywho yea the motorola modems are GGRREEEAT! They came out with two newer models which are wireless, making them a gateway SBG900 SBG1000 SBV5220 however the sbv5220 is actually a voice modem an Emta.
But still pretty cool. Oh and liquid is an idiot. Lets just clarify the whole Comcast issue in that I'm a Level 3 techinical support specialist for thier high speed data services.
(Internet Protocol Support Services). Comcast dosent care if you have a router.
In fact we all have routers. We just dont see why we should provide free technical support, that is technical SUPPORT for Linksys, D link, Belkin or whatever brand your using. They have their own technical support. In addition all I have to do is have you read me the IP address on your computer and I immediatly know that you are using a router or if your not so bright, that you have your modem in standby.
![Motorola Sb5100 Motorola Sb5100](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123757551/453730322.png)
We know what IP address, DNS servers, DHCP servers etc. We provide you and much much more. We also know what IP address your router will provide each computer in the home. This part is common knowledge in the LAN world.
So please dont waste your time denying it it just takes longer to diagnose your present connectivity problem. In regards to motorola modems. They are fast, reliable, stable, and long lasting work horses. Occasionally you get a lemon but by and large they fail much less than any other modem that we distribute or that can be bought by the consumer. In addition there is not a single router that they wont dance with unlike some of the other modems like thomsons or rca 's, zytel, zoom. Sean9 which IP address are you wanting to change? The internal local IP starting with 192?
Or the actual IP of the modem starting with a 71. Or is it the IP provided by the modem by your ISP that starts with something like a 68. Or another 2 digit number similar? You cannot change the IP provided by your ISP unless they provide static IP 's than, maybe. I have an SB5101 and upgraded to Comcast Blast a couple of days ago. Comcast keeps pushing me the file for a 5100 which results in an error SW upgrade Failed after download - Incompatible SW file SW Download INIT - Via Config file d11msb5100speedtierextreme2c01.cm I spend 3 hours on the phone with various support folk last night to try to get the right file pushed, d11msb5101speedtierextreme2c01.cm, with no luck. They show my equipment as SB5101 but nobody had a clue about how to get me the right file.
I initially thought I had problems with the modem, then the router, however it eventually (after 6 weeks of daily being knocked off every few hours) was discovered that the coax had been eaten through. CableOne was the best about it once they knew what it was, new conduit to the house including digging under the road and never a charge for any of it even service calls.
They even gave me some free internet time (3 months). I am not used to cable companies being responsive, courteous, and making an investment in the customer.
So my 2 year old sb 5100 I'd rate at 5 though I am having a situation right now where if I don't use the internet for a period of time it seems to lose the connection. However that's probably a problem with the pc or the router, not the modem (no settings for any of that). Thank you SG for providing the ip config address too, looked all over for that. Jerin8: 'The internal local IP starting with 192? Or the actual IP of the modem starting with a 71. Pray-tell why does my modem seem to all of a sudden have this 71?
How can I access my pc when directly connected to it now. I did it before by using my ip address, now I have two ips to get through. Noone I spoke to thus far has a clue.
And since you admit you work for CC I figured I would spare myself the embarrassment of asking my boss whats up with dat. Troubleshooting Windows IIS through a router led me to learn my modem is the culp. Hmmmm 2 ips huh. Either I get it back to the way it was /brideged or what ever/ or learn how you expect me to access my server that way. And teach the others at tech support too will ya! The Motorola SURFBoard broadband 'modem' is well-loved by most tech/help desk/support personnel & their cable company employers. Perhaps not so much by those companies' customers who are often left with no way to do much beyond surf the internet/WWW.
Even using simple state-of-the-art bit torrent software can be almost impossible, because the Motorola SURFBoard 'modem,' and the cable companies, in general don't allow/provide anyway to 'bridge' the the two sets of IP addresses that these setups typically require. Although the SB 5100/5101s are by all accounts reliable, the software is not 'user accessible' or 'user friendly' at all. And although I've never seen a EULA/TOS statement that prohibits the customers from trying to 'help' themselves, apparently the customer is expected to tolerate the situations that others have mentioned here w/out making any efforts to resolve or aid the situation, especially the inability of either the cable companies, their tech support, or their customers to adjust or tweak the hardware. Locally, the cable company had a great reputation for dependable lightning-fast service, even if the support was a little 'slow.' After one software 'upgrade,' the speed of the service actually went down. Quite some time later, (approx. 8 months) the cable company finally decided to raise the max speed to compensate for the lower speeds produced by the 'upgrade.'
(Some online 'speedometers' now show 1.5 MB.) The following posters on speedguide.net have the appearances of the problems ISPs produce for their customers by using the Motorola SB 5100/5101 SURFBoards. Liquibyte skippydunbar Sean9 anonymous 24.7.x.x - 2007.10.06 12:05 (probably caused by cabling/connection issues— see anonymous 24.117.x.x - 2008.06.15 16:02) anonymous 76.103.x.x - 2008.03.14 15:44 (another software problem) anonymous 24.117.x.x - 2008.06.15 16:02 jerin8 - 2007.12.05 22:30 (makes the point—3 different IP addresses, any of which could be causing Sean9's problem.) rebelbrowser - 2008.06.27 22:28 The 'Default IP address' of '192.168.100.1' is standard for all SB 5100/5101s, which is somewhat surprising given that 'ipconfig' gives the following results on my machine. 'IP Address.:172.20.xxx.xxx 'Subnet Mask.:255.255.xxx.xxx 'Default Gateway.:172.20.xxx.xxx' After using a Motorola SB 5100 for about 3 years now, I can say this about them.
All in all, yes the Motorola SB 5100/5101 SURFBoard cable 'modem' is reliable. But the way its used by cable companies, the pathetic software, and the total lack of options or customer choices indicate that its just as useful & utilitarian as the poles that hold the cable coax up in the air.
And just about as desirable next to your computer, too. Well, no matter what anyone says, the 5101 beats the pants off the hot runnng, connection losing Ambit modem they put on the end of my cable. To change your IP address, if it's not static, is to release the IP address, unscrew the cable from the cable modem, turn off your pc, wait a few hours and reconnect and hook your cable back up. This is if you live in a big city.

If you live in a small town, you may have to wait a day so someone else will connect and get your old address first. Oh yeah, renew your IP address after you get running again. Works for me everytime. Be banned no more!!! I've had this modem for two years now, using shaw internet service provider, and I was quite happy, as I used it for gaming, and my latency was quite nice to players close to me. Then I reformatted my PC, and I ended up re-downloading all the default drivers of my PC that were needed, and my ping shot straight up, upto 300 ping, which is QUITE bad. Specifically, in the game I play, the closer you are to the player, the less your ping is to them, and it's rather easy to kill them.
However, with this router, I alt-tabbed to watch some youtube videos, and when I alt-tabbed back in, pings were increased by almost 40%, which is quite astonishing. If anyone can provide a fix for the following, as it would be great, may be that I've reached my bandwidth quota, so my isp is not letting my internet boost itself to the full of its speed.
