DrEaMzZ Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Does anyone know if the EEE issue was ever resolved with the Motorola Sb6183? My internet speeds will be increased soon and am in need of a new modem to support the 300/20 on twc. If the Sb6183 still has issues, which modem do you guys recommend? I have heard the CM500 by Netgear is pretty good. Any replies are very much appreciated. Thank you!
II N3MES1S II Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I think the SB6121 supports those speeds. That is the cable modem I use with TWC but its mine not theirs.
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted February 15, 2016 Netduma Staff Posted February 15, 2016 I think the CM500 also has the EEE bug.
DrEaMzZ Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Have you heard anything about the cm600?
UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Have you heard anything about the cm600? TWC is going to upgrade my internet from 50/5 to 300/20; therefore, I upgraded from the SB6141 to the CM600 in preparations for the upgrade. As far as the research that I have done, the CM600 does not have the Broadcom chipset or EEE issues. I have been using it for the past month without any issues.
DrEaMzZ Posted February 19, 2016 Author Posted February 19, 2016 Alright looks like I will get the cm600 as I am getting the same upgrade from TWC. Thank you for your help and Research!!
Alex49H Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Has anyone tried the sb6190 I have the SB6190 and it has High ping spikes and Arris is on it. When I run the Internet Diagnostics I got ok Spikes and ok Jitter when I used to get an Exceptional rating.

Are you sure it doesn't have the Broadcom chipset? An Engineer at Cox said it does.
UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Are you sure it doesn't have the Broadcom chipset? An Engineer at Cox said it does. The CM600 is new to the market. I have done exhaustive Google search for CM600 broadcom, CM600 chipset, CM600 EEE, CM600 "energy efficient ethernet", searched various wikidevi Broadcom device searches. I could not find any listing for CM600 with Broadcom no even EEE. Because of the quick production life cycle of chipsets, I would highly doubt that the CM600 would have the same Broadcom chipset as the other modems mentioned. I don't really trust the Cox/TWC tech reps or engineers. However, if it does have a Broadcom chipset, it is most likely a newer chipset that does not have the same EEE problem. I have been using the CM600 for a few months now without any problems unlike the problems that I had with the SB6580.

Alex49H Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks do you recommend it or you think the cm600 would be better? I have heard the CM600 has the Broadcom chipset too so high ping spikes could be a problem with the that modem too. But a friend on here has said that it doesn't have that BC chip and he has no problems with that modem, UK Wildcat told me this.

I have experienced any problems with the CM600 so far. My issues are all BO3 game related.

I just recently started using my SB6183 again because Cox finally got the patch from Arris last Tuesday and it was fine up until yesterday when I was watching Netflix and it started to spike like crazy. So the CM600 has to be good.
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted February 29, 2016 Administrators Posted February 29, 2016 Hi, The users here have more info than I do. I'd suggest if possible to avoid any modems that even closely resemble that chipet family. Not worth the risk if you can avoid it.

DrEaMzZ Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 I have purchased the Netgear CM600 and have been using it for a week or more now without any issues. Thanks again Wildcat!

Alex49H Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I have purchased the Netgear CM600 and have been using it for a week or more now without any issues. Thanks again Wildcat! That is good to hear! Like Uk Wildcat said maybe it has a newer chipset. How do you have it set up?
DrEaMzZ Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 That is good to hear! Like Uk Wildcat said maybe it has a newer chipset. How do you have it set up? CM600>Netduma>Asus AC87U in AP mode. My pc and ps4 are wired on the Netduma and all the wireless stuff is handled by the Asus.
Alex49H Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 CM600>Netduma>Asus AC87U in AP mode. My pc and ps4 are wired on the Netduma and all the wireless stuff is handled by the Asus. Awesome. No high ping spikes or problems so far?
DrEaMzZ Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Awesome. No high ping spikes or problems so far? So far everything is working flawlessly.
