## Description

Building upon the success of the SB6121, Motorola's SURFboard SB6141 enhances your personal media experience, at lightning-fast broadband speed. It harnesses the power of DOCSIS 3.0 technology to bond up to eight downstream channels and four upstream channels--providing you advanced multimedia services with data rates up to 343 Mbps download and 131 Mbps upload depending on your Cable Internet provider service. That makes streaming HD Video, gaming, shopping, downloading, working, high-quality voice and video conferencing, and peer-to-peer networking applications far more realistic, faster, and efficient than ever before.

Review: Works properly, works with NETGEAR WNDR3400 router, and gives me the speed I paid for (Time Warner Cable Customer) - I bought this cable modem because I did not want to be a victim of Time Warner Cable's leased modems. This is my first time being a Time Warner Cable customer, and during installation, I handed this modem over to the cable guy (who looked a bit disappointed that I had my own modem, for some reason), who set up everything without a hitch by calling Time Warner Cable and giving them the HSC MAC ID. For those of you who want to buy this modem to replace TWC's leased modems, just call them and give them the HSC MAC ID, and they'll activate it for you (you might have to reset the modem after activation to get things going). Anyways, moving on to function and reliability, this modem is great! The speed of the internet plan I pay for is 15 Mbps (there is a difference between MB/s and Mbps, as 8 Mb = 1 MB), and after doing a speed test at speedtest.net, my ping is 9-11 ms, and my download speed ranged from 14-16 Mbps (usually 16 Mbps), which is great. So far, there hasn't been any bumps in the road, and I haven't experienced any downtime in connectivity or anything. On a somewhat related note, I also purchased a router because I wanted WiFi as well, seeing that I have tablets, smartphones, and game consoles in the house. The router I'm using is a "Factory Refurbished NETGEAR WNDR3400 N600 Wireless-N Dual Band Router" (I literally copied the title and pasted it here). Since it's refurbished, no CD came in the box, so I just connected the router to the modem, and connected the router to my computer (with an Ethernet cable, not through WiFi). Internet didn't work at first, but I assume there was some automatic setup processing somewhere (probably something to do with assigning an IP address or something) because eventually internet access returned within a few minutes. I then went to http://192.68.1.1 (default username: admin, default password: password), and set everything up, and soon had working WiFi within 15 minutes. Despite being refurbished, this router works like it's new. In short, this modem is working properly, has a stable connection to the Internet, and is giving me the speeds that I paid for (which is all that I ask for). It also works well with the "Factory Refurbished NETGEAR WNDR3400 N600 Wireless-N Dual Band Router," which is easy to set up if you have basic knowledge of setting up networks, configuring IP address, etc. Edit (11/13/14): It's been about 3 and 1/2 months since I've been using this modem, and I've had zero problems with it so far. In this span of time, I've only had to restart the modem once (internet outage), and everything was fine after that. Not sure what caused the internet to go wonky, but I highly doubt this will be anything to worry about.
Review: Best electronics purchase since my first Samsung SSD - I've known for a while that Motorola makes some of the best cable modems, but I've never actually owned one. I based my decision to buy this product based on that knowledge, and also like many of you, on the many positive reviews here on desertcart. I am with Comcast in Chicago, IL. This modem was super easy to setup and recognized automatically by Comcasts network. Just plug the modem in, open your browser, and a page will appear saying new modem detected, press to continue setup. And that's it. How is the performance of the Motorola Surfboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0? I have 25 mbps connection with Comcast. Prior to buying this (using Comcasts Scientific Atlanta rental modem) the max speed that I would see for downloads was around 2.4 Mbps. During peak usage times speeds would be lower, and also I would sometime have problems with streaming video on Youtube and various other sites. After getting this modem (which has 8 channels instead of your rental modems 1 channel) up and running, I was able to see actual download speeds of up to 3.2 Mbps, with steady speeds at 3.0 Mpbs, and never any stalling with any streaming video, even during the heaviest usage times of the day. That's a nice performance increase (20-25%) without even changing my internet speeds, and now I'm saving $7 a month off my bill from their rental fee. I really think allowing yourself to utilize any of 8 channels makes a big difference during heavy use times when that one channel you're on with an older tech modem is being heavily shared by others in your neighborhood on the same hub. And the cool thing is that since this is 8 channel DOCSIS 3.0 modem, if I ever do decide to up my speeds (or Comcast continues to keep doubling speeds on the same package) to the available 50mbps, or 105mbps (and soon to come 300mbps in my area) I don't have to buy a new modem. I'm all set. Future proof. Update 10/30/13: Just wanted to say that since my purchase I've spilled an entire cup of coffee directly on this modem, which went inside the heat vents completely soaking the electronics inside. The modem lights went out. I thought for sure it was fried and I'd have to be ordering another one. I unplugged the modem, went to work in a bad mood, and came home 8 hours later. Figuring what do I have to lose, I plugged the modem back in, and to my surprise, all the lights came back on. I thought to myself okay well lights is one thing, but do I actually have an internet connection. I load my browser and lone and behold, I have internet. This thing took an entire cup of coffee directly inside it's heat vents and 8 hours later after drying it works like brand new. A testament to the quality of Motorola's Surfboards. Amazing. Get this modem. You will be happy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it better to CALL Comcast to activate this modem, or do the computer activation (inserting model and MAC numbers)?**
A: I tried to activate the modem on a 2014 MacBook Air and could not sign into the Comcast Activation site.  Used the instant messaging option, spent 45 min on line with Dreed and Ubrla (had to be in Bangladesh or India).  Spent the majority of my time declining the offers to "up-sell" me on packages I don't want.  Was told the new modem was activated and good to go.  Not true, no internet 30 minutes after completing my dialog with the Comcast customer representatives by intant messaging.  Was finally able to activate the modem on-line in 5 min when I signed in to Comcast.  DO NOT CALL COMCAST, WASTE OF TIME.  Customer service is a front to try and up-sell you and promise the world if you do.  GO ON LINE AND ACTIVATE THE MODEM!  BTW, the modem works wonderfully and has very, very fast up and down speeds.

**Q: what is the difference between 6121 and 6141**
A: 6121 is an older version of the 6141. the 6121 has a max speed of up to 172 meg down, and has 4 up and down channels, where the 6141 has a max download speed of over 300 meg down, and has 8 downstream channels and 4 upstream. that means that they both have the same number up upstream channels, but the 6141 has double the downstream, which is why its download ability is double the 6121. I have seen that the 6141 has a built in filter to eliminate interference, but could not find any info that said that the 6121 has one, so the filter may only be on the 6141. They both use the same range of frequencies, same connections, same compatibilities (docsis 1, 2, and 3 support), and support IPv4 and 6 too. So basically, on the modems side, it looks like the biggest difference is the 6141 has double the download ability/channls, and a built in filter. other then that, they are the same.Also, according to time warners page, if you have internet through them, they will only support the 6121 model up to 50 meg down, but they 6141 will support up to 100 meg down. that does not mean that is all that the modem will support, but that, that is all that time warner will support them for. basically, it works like this. The manufacturer (motorola) puts basic info into the software on this, then when you connect it to your cable company, they upload a file to it to tell it how it will work. When this first came out, 50 meg was the max download that the cable companies had, so it is possible that since the configuration file that they had for the 6121 works fine, and since this is now an older model, that they just dont want to be bothered with making a new config file since the old one works fine. but i can not say for sure.

**Q: does the SB6141 support wireless**
A: No it does not.  It is a Cable Modem and does not do any router functions.  You have to use the Ethernet out to your router to do the wireless or wired networking.  The SB6580 is modem and router in one, which I had previously and would not recommend from my experience. I feel it is better to have separate modem and router.  I personally run a Motorola SB6141 modem with a Netgear AC1750 router. They work very well on Comcast.

**Q: does this have emta**
A: Hello Dale,Just to make sure we are on the same page (and for others who may read this question and not know what eMTA is) eMTA stands for "embedded multimedia terminal adapter."  An eMTA modem combines the functionality of a DOCSIS cable modem and a phone adapter in one device. (cite: TimeWarnerCable.com)Answer:  Unfortunately it does not.  The pictures displayed for the product are accurate.  There is only a coaxial cable input, an ethernet cable input, and a power cord input.  I hope this helps.  Blessings.- Ruben

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works properly, works with NETGEAR WNDR3400 router, and gives me the speed I paid for (Time Warner Cable Customer)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***O on April 20, 2014*

My old Rogers modem was crapping out, rebooting under stress of high use, giving me the opportunity to switch to Teksavvy. After some research I decided the best modems a) are not bundled with wifi routers and b) are Motorola. So I got this one, and it works great. It has 8-band support, as opposed to the 4-band support most of the other ones have, even though those speeds are generally unaffordable at this time, I love a good future proof value proposition.
