I have an old Surfboard 4100 that when used drops my net connection all the time. Have to power cycle it and that sometimes fixes it instantly, sometimes not. This puzzles me because I've never really heard of cable modems going bad in this way, can that happen?
Either way, now I'm using a 5100, bought it off a friend for 20 bucks. Good reliable modem? Will I notice any speed increases over my 3-year-old Linksys with 8 Mbps Comcast?
