Utilizing the power of DOCSIS 3.0, the SB6121 enables channel bonding of up to four downstream channels and four upstream channels, which allows an operator to offer their customers advanced multimedia services with data rates of over 100 Mbps in each direction.

The SB6121 features a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45) port, as well as intuitive, easy-to-read front-panel operational status LEDs. Operators can optionally activate dual colored LEDs for their customer to have visual verification of bonded channels and GigE link use.

This modem supports IPv4 and IPv6 to expand network addressing capabilities and uses AES traffic encryption.

As part of Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 Ultra-Broadband family of products, the SB6121 includes an enhanced tuner that supports up to a 1 GHz downstream input, which allows operators to increase the frequency spectrum for deployment of new high-value services, such as bandwidth on-demand, commercial services, interactive gaming, and IPTV, to their customers.

Can I say I hate it when someone reviews a modem badly because they can't find it? That doesn't help the rest of us decide whether or not to buy it at all.

I have mixed reviews, myself. One friend has had great speed, 100% uptime, no problems for over a year. The other had theirs die around 9 months post-purchase.

I am very happy with it. I bought mine at Best Buy. I am on Cox and I am getting over 100 mb down. Unfortunately they squeeze the up and I am stuck at 5 mb up. No problems so far.

DHCP very unreliable and advanced configuration not available. DO NOT BUY this modem if you need to define DHCP reservations. Attempted to use with a D-Link switch and the DHCP (which is limited to 32 addresses for some resason) would only assign one.

I have used this modem for 3 years (bought at Best Buy) with excellent results. I have a home wireless network and the modem services my computers, TV & Internet-connected Blu-ray player as well as devices such as smartphones & iPads/tablets. OOKLA speed tests are consistently above 85 mbps. Even now (as it is not a new model) I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Usually, if you have a problem it's not that you have a crappy modem or router, you just need to get into your manufacturer's Knowledge Base articles for the product because you will often find your exact problem and solution there.
