Editorial Review:
The Motorola SB4200 SURFboard cable modem supplies both Ethernet and USB interface connectivity to ensure compatibility with almost any network-ready PC computer system. It requires only a standard HTML browser on your computer, making it virtually platform independent. With the SB4200, most PCs, Macs, and other computers can be easily connected to any network. The SB4200 supports the 64 and 256 QAM link technology that is the heart of the DOCSIS data network, providing up to 38 Mbps of raw data transfer rates in a single 6 MHz channel.
The SB4200 simplifies installation with USB connectivity, and provides enhanced security with its top-mounted standby button. The button disconnects the USB and Ethernet connection to the computer without disconnecting the cable modem from the RF network, providing security, flexibility, and performance. An easy-to-use standby button has been relocated to the top of the SB4200 for additional end-user security and convenience.
Note: If in doubt, contact your cable Internet provider to verify that this modem will be compatible with their system.
The latest addition to Motorola's SURFboard Cable Modem family, the SURFboard SB4200, has been redesigned with the consumer in mind. The Motorola SURFboard SB4200 features a user-friendly, convenient, top-mounted stand-by switch. The stand-by switch disconnects the USB and Ethernet connection to the CPE without disconnecting the cable modem from the RF network, providing security and flexibility. Competitively priced, the SB4200 includes all the features of previous SURFboard Cable Modems, including USB connectivity, software upgrades available over the network, advanced RF design, top-notch field reliability and high-performance processors. It offers both Ethernet and USB interface connectivity to help ensure compatibility with almost any PC or Macintosh network-ready computer system. And its 10/100BaseT auto-sensing Ethernet lines allow for seamless communications.

Rating:  - Good modem
I have had this modem for 5 years now - easy install, great speed and never a problem.
Rating:  - Works Flawlessly w/ various O/S's
Got this modem over two years ago, and have not had a problem with it in those two years. It's been up and running for most all of those two years (save power outages).
Took me about 5 minutes to install, including unpacking it and connecting it to my Linksys wireless router.
It's worth noting that I primarilly use Linux, and it works just fine in that environment (it also works just fine under BSD and Solaris). Other family members use Windows (God only knows why), and ... Read More

I purchased this modem when I signed up for broadband Internet (cable) service. I have been using it for about two years now. I have never encountered any problems and it has never failed to function. The security "disconnect" function button on the top is a good idea. As a security precaution, I usually "disconnect" when I am not actually using my connection.
Rating: - Trustworthy modem
I bought this modem over a year ago as an alternative to giving the cable company even more of my money via renting on of theirs. Ever since I plugged it in and got it activated it has given me zero problems. The only time it hasn't worked, it was because the internet itself was down.
I like the button on the modem that disconnects you from the internet. It takes maybe a second to connect/disconnect you and protect your computer from any unsavory types who are lurking out there.

Rating:  - Two in a row returned defective
I think you could do better as far as quality goes. Had to return my first modem two weeks after purchase, modem could not hold a connection. The second one stopped working 3 months later, the cable technicians replaced it with a different brand (I forget which) that has worked flawlessly since. My suggestion, buy a different brand or model.
