5 of 5 D-Link Cable Modem DCM-202 Thursday, July 10, 2008
A Customer from Plover, Wisconsin
Working as expected. Called cable company to give them MAC address. Modem recognized and works great so far. No more $3 rental fees each month! With the total price after rebate this thing will pay for itself in 10 months time. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 An Excellent Cable Modem Monday, July 07, 2008
A Customer from Charles Town, WV
We have had a number of other brand's DSL and cable modems over the years, however, these D-Link modems are by far the best ever. They have worked perfectly right out of the box and have not required any attention since they were installed. We have not had a dropped connection yet. They are great! The price was fair, and even better with the rebate which was received in less time than with many other companies. Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 Don't count on the rebate from D-Link Tuesday, June 24, 2008
A Customer from Toledo, Ohio
The product performed fine but don't count on the rebate from D-Link in your pricing. Six months later and they're still stringing me along. The rebates from Buy.com always come quickly but there's a reason D-Link has so many products with rebates - they don't pay! They string you along, requesting you send this or that again, promising to send the check in the next four weeks but it never shows up. They are counting on you giving up - Don't do it! If you were dumb enough to fall for their scam (like me), keep hounding them until they pay up. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Fab-U-Lous Thursday, June 05, 2008
DW from Allston, MA
Got a great price on Buy.com, ordered it, called Comcast when it came and gave them all the numbers the needed off the modem, returned the rented modem, and have been up and running ever since with no problems. Speed actually seems faster. Thanks for the product reviews guys. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 So far so good! Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Denise from Portland, OR

5 of 5 Smooth Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Adam W. from Macon, GA
I've had no problems using this with a Netgear wireless-G router. In general, I find Dlink to be easy to set up, but with a cable modem, there is no set up. I just had to send the MAC (printed on the bottom label of the unit) to the ISP, and I was off to the races. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Another Great DLINK Product!!! Wednesday, May 14, 2008
A Customer from Ludlow, MA
I purchased this as a spare to my existing linksys cable modem. I have always been impressed with the quality and value of DLink products so I installed it in place of my current cable modem. I'm not sure if it has but it seems that my broadband speed has increased since I installed this cable modem. Thank you DLink for another great product!! Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 great value for money Saturday, May 03, 2008
A Customer from Little Rock, AR
Thanks to buy.com, I got this delivered in couple of days after ordering. Set up was fairly easy, I returned my comcast modem and after calling comcast tech support, within 5 min my modem was up and running (moreover got a gr8 deal on comcast upgrade for 6 months, ;) so obviously I love the modem already).
I've been getting very good performance, no issues at all. Earlier I had to reset my modem at least once a day but this one is working fine so far. Indeed a great value for money.
Enjoy!!! Was this review helpful?

A Customer from San Diego
I have had this router for almost 3 years now and have never had any issues with it. It has never dropped a signal or needed to be rebooted. I highly recommend to anyone! I will purchase another in the future when needed! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Better than my Motorola SB 5100 Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Would highly recommend it modem if you are having cable modem troubles -- it might cure your problem -- as it did mine. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Good Deal Tuesday, September 25, 2007
A Customer from Chicago, IL
I bought it as a replacement for my Motorola Surfboard. All in all the device performs well... I would say that it is faster, and definitely smaller than my previous modem. Easy install... Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Cable Modems Checks out Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Ralph Applebee from Caldwell, Idaho USA
Cableone said get a new modems or else. So out goes my reliable Toshiba PCX1100, and in comes the approved D-Link DCM-202. I note no operational changes, but the D-Link is smaller as is its power adapter. The signal lights are brighter Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Easy Set-up; no problems! Monday, August 13, 2007
A Customer from New Haven, CT
Set-up with no problems, and has been working since (2 months) without a single issue. Connection speeds seem quick, although I don't have anything to compare them to as I didn't have an internet connection here before. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Still working good after 1 year Thursday, July 12, 2007
A Customer from Seattle, WA
I've had this cable modem for well over a year without problems. So at least with my Comcast system, it works good and saves me $3 per month. So it paid for itself relatively quickly. Many times you can find a decent rebate on this particular modem, which coupled with the occasional dollar off coupons, can net you a very low final cost. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Why did I ever lease a modem from my ISP? Monday, July 02, 2007
A Customer from California
Read the reviews and liked what I read. Installation was easy; the hardest part was getting in the car to return the leased modem to my ISP. As part of the installation, it is necessary to call your ISP and provide the MAC address; this is simple, requiring a phone call to your ISP and providing the MAC address.
I've read reviews where Charter customers said their connection appeared faster. While I cannot prove this, it appears to me that my connection is a bit faster and has fewer hiccups. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Surprising what youll do for $3.00 per month Tuesday, June 26, 2007
Steven from Houston, TX
I decided to purchase my own cable modem instead of continuing to pay a monthly fee for it. I have had positive experiences with D-Link product, so when Buy.com offered it at a good price, I purchased the product. Buyers beware: I had to call the cable company a couple of times to get them to recognize the MAC address properly. Yes, this is very important. The very first thing you should do upon purchasing this product is to call the cable company and register the MAC address. Without the MAC address being recognized by the cable company, it will not work. Now, mind you that the cable company will not tell you that they have set it up, so after a week or so, call them back and make sure that they registered it properly. Now I know that has nothing to do with the product, but that was the hardest part of t |
