nytemare01 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hey Duma family I'll be getting a new modem soon as Comcast is no longer supporting the SB6141. Been researching and I have 2 in mind: Zoom 5370 or Asus CM-16. Any idea on which on would would work best with the Netduma? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 What others have said here is the TP Link 7610. No issues. I'd look into this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e38BimmerFN Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 My SB 6183 is rocking solid. Also the SB 8200 just released.

I would go with the TP link TC 7610,cheap and effective with the duma on cable lines.I'd check with your ISP just to make sure but several people on here use it.including myself and it does a great job.

The customer owned 6141 is still being supported. It's their rented model that they will no longer support. But the 6141 sucks anyway and is making you lag so throw it away. Second, don't listen to anyone here who is telling you to get any other modem other than the TP-Link TC-7610 Isn't that right @Kevo? https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-343Mbps-Certified-Spectrum-TC-7610-E/dp/B01CH8ZNJ0 Source: Trust me, I'm a Comcast modem expert...

e38BimmerFN Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Zero issues with the R1 using any SB 6 series modem I have. Latest tested is my SB 6183. Broadcom based. Prior was a SB 6121 and 6180. It all comes down to the SNR and Signal on the cable lines to the modems. Modems only work as well as what they get from the ISP service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes down to the SNR and Signal on the cable lines to the modems. Modems only work as well as what they get from the ISP service. Has nothing to do with a bug in the Arris software/hardware, but I'm not gonna argue with you yet again. Just had the same conversation with someone else, they switched modems after swearing their Arris modem was fine. Night and day difference now. You keep telling people incorrect information and it's actually harmful to people. All it takes is a simple search on the forums to see tons of people with the 6183 and many other Arris/Motorola modems with ping issues, speed issues, having to reboot to keep their connection stable... My modem and router have been on for "System Up Time: 41 days 16h:27m:56s" without having to be rebooted once and I have 0 issues. Anyone who's switched from an Arris modem to the TC-7610 on here said all their problems went away, even with a horrible signal coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e38BimmerFN Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just saying that not all SB 6 series modems are bad. I've used many of them and only posting my experiences. Information is NOT incorrect. Theres more to just HW and modems. It all starts with the signal to the modem. Most modems are good. It only takes bad signals to cause the real problems. However to each his own and let users make there own decisions. I'm sure TC is a good modem. So is the SB 6183. Solid modem IMO. Now back to our programming. Night.

All Arris modems have a problem with ping/speed issues and the Netduma. This is pretty solidly confirmed on here. You may think your 6183 works fine, but I can assure you if you weren't so stubborn you'd see how bad it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second that. I am back with Cox and have the Arris SB 6121, 6141, 6183, 6190, Netgear CM400 which all have issues. I just got the TPLink 7610 and the difference is night and day!

fuzzy clam Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Since we made it a pinned thread again (thanks Z) I just point people to this...Intel's Puma 6 chipset suffers from latency & jitter, fix soon. And add in Buck's,MoD's and myself's experience with the modem and the difference we've seen along with several other people. And if people want to listen great and if they don't at least I feel I've tried to help them and steer them in the right direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e38BimmerFN Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 And to be clear, the Intel Puma issue is only seen on Intel based modems. The SB 6183 and SB8200 are Broadcom based chipsets. Not Intel based. For the SB 6190 at least, fix is on the way for those who have this modem: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31330961- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Intel based. But the SB6183 has the same issue even though it has the Broadcom chipset. I speak from experience. Iain even tried to patch it himself writing a fw to help us with the issue.

e38BimmerFN Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Was proven that the Broadcom chip sets don't exhibit same problem as the Intel chipsets. Tests on DSLreports proving it. The 6183 has been working for me and my R1 router. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and you don't have an issue with your modem and I'm happy for you but your more the exception than the rule. And yes I'm fully aware of the different chipsets in the routers but for me being a mod on the forum and a customer just like everyone else.I would have an issue if someone on the forum told me to get X modem and then I find it's not compatible with the duma or has known issues with it in the set up but they said don't worry a fix is on the way....sometime That just wouldn't set good with most people, you get something but are going to experience issues until they release a fix for it. But like I said I'm glad your's is working out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e38BimmerFN Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Well for at least the SB 6190 customers. Been a rough road for them. There is light though. Glad the Broadcom modems aren't effected. Also users have to be aware of that some ISPs may or may not support any kind of modem. So the TPLink or Arris modems may or may not be available everywhere. So users need to check with there ISP first before buying any modem. This would be also in NetDuma's best interests that ALL Mfr modems work with the R1. Not just one particular brand. Not everyone has access to all modems nor ISPs supports all Mfrs modems. The R1 needs to be flexible as much as possible. I agree fully. There is frustration when something doesn't work as expected. Part of life I guess. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah, great your 6183 is working, but I still wouldn't recommend it. I just canceled my service with AT&T Uverse. They provided a Pace 5268ac and even they don't recognize that it has the same issues of high ping spikes and jitter. Now I am glad with the purchase I made with the TP Link.

nytemare01 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Seems like people are really leaning towards the 7610 so I'll give it a try. What's your opinion on the newer model, the 7620? Would that be overkill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I pay for 150 down and 10 up, so the 7610 is just right. I don't know about the 7620, maybe the others will comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
