Editorial Reviews :
The 3Com OfficeConnect external cable modem delivers more ways to stay connected, with both Ethernet and USB connectors built in. And this two-way-over-cable modem screams at up to 42 Mbps downstream throughput and up to 10 Mbps upstream. It's a powerful choice for your network and your subscribers.
The OfficeConnect external cable modem is part of 3Com's complete cable access system for integrated cable-return broadband communications in one powerful platform--and part of the OfficeConnect family of easy-to-use products for small office and home office users. The stackable design allows for the addition of hubs to connect multiple PCs, Internet firewall/VPN solutions, and new MTA devices to support Internet telephony.

DOCSIS compliance provides interoperability and peace of mind as your network grows. And because this modem is designed for tiered service levels, including Committed Information Rate, it lets you create multiple service options to expand your market and revenue opportunities.

Built-in security and protocol filtering protect the privacy of your users' data. The modem supports baseline privacy with a 56-bit security key.

The external cable modem features a rugged, proven design and patented convection cooling system for a long, trouble-free life. A 10Base-T Ethernet interface plus USB capability make it compatible with virtually any network-ready computer.

Note: Be sure to check with your Internet Service provider before making a cable modem purchase. Some providers require that you use their modems, and even those that don't generally don't offer technical support for modems the company doesn't supply. Every cable modem has a unique MAC address that serves as an identifier for the ISPs, and if your MAC address doesn't match up to the one they assigned to your account, the modem simply won't work.

Buyer Reviews :
I was very pleased to obtain this modem (3CR29210) and installed it without any problems. I transferred the cables from the previously installed modem and the new modem picked up the cable connection in less than 5 minutes.

The only negative is that the package had a sticker on the outside that indicated a different model (3CR29220)should be used for installation on the ( @home ) cable setup.

I called the 3Com installation number, listed in the 'getting started guide' and a very capable person informed me that for home use the models were interchangable. That turned out to be the case and I highly recommend this as a replacement for an ISP supplied rental modem. The manufacturer also has a 5 year support warranty for this modem.
