Dlink DCM202

Pros: Decent speed, easy setup.

Cons: Loses connection, early unexplained death

The Bottom Line: The bottom line has a 14.4k modem to connect to its local BBS.

Review: When we first got cable access, we needed a DOCSIS compliant cable modem and the first name I thought of was D-Link. Why? Well, I have been using D-Link hubs, switches and network cards since the days of Windows 95 and Mandrake 5 so I figured this...

Pros: it lasts for a long time, minor problems, easy installation

Cons: price, lost connection at least once a month

The Bottom Line: It is not a bad modem to get and it is very easy to install

Review: Introduction

In Oct 2006, we decided to leave Verizon DSL and switched our high-speed internet service to Comcast Cable High-Speed Internet because I had a very bad experience with the Verizon customer service people regarding the...

Pros: ?

Cons: ?

The Bottom Line: ?

Review: There are certain things that you don t want to notice. Cable modems are one of those things. I like staying connected to the Internet and when I m not, I tend to take notice. There are very few things that will prevent me from being online. Power...

Pros: Speed, solid connection, easy to update firmware.

Cons: Having to update the firmware.

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this D-link product.

Review: I was planning converting from DSL to cable internet and I did not want to buy a modem from Comcast at about $140.00. I finally settled on this modem for two reasons. 1. My network includes a D-link router and D-link wireless cards and I assumed...

Pros: Unknown...

Cons: Incompatible out-of-the-box with Comcast!

The Bottom Line: Everybody else's product IS compatible with Comcast without having to spend an hour attempting to (unsuccesfuly) reconfigure the modem's firmware! Get something- ANYTHING else. It is money well spent.

Review: First, let me say that I LIKE D-Link's products alot. Thier router configured itself even before the CD tray retracted! And thier KVM Switch is on par with units costing hundreds more!
THIS Product is the offspring of a union with Satan, I am...

Pros: Works right out of the box. The D-Link DCM-202 broadband cable modem is fast.

Cons: Gets a little hot if stacked upon another power consuming device.

The Bottom Line: This modem works out of the box, is DOCSIS 2.0 compatible, meaning it will work with many Internet Service Providers. It is fast and is versatile.

Review: We became familiar with the D-Link, DCM-202, Broadband Cable Modem when lightning struck our Comcast line and thereby destroyed our Cable modem, router, and computer. Our new experience with the D-Link, DCM-202 coaxial cable broadband modem is...

Pros: cheap.

Cons: network drops consistently (about twice a day)

Review: I purchased this modem back in October. It cost me $54, but it promised a $20 rebate. I received the product in Mid July 2006 and I sent the rebate. Today, December 20, I still have not received the rebate. I called their rebate center back in...

Pros: Although bad for heat dissipation, I guess it's stylish.

Cons: It does not work continuously. Dies sporadically and does not recover. Terrible interface.

The Bottom Line: It's not worth $1 to me. It does not operate as continuously as I need a cable modem to operate. It's that simple.

Review: I recently moved and this meant that I had to replace the cable modem I was borrowing. I own a DI-524 Wireless Router that has been functional if not completely delightful. Let's just say I've had even more horrifying experiences with other routers...

Pros: Small, Compact size Had a good rebate

Cons: Un-reliable problematic modem. Gets really HOT when laying on it's side.

The Bottom Line: Get SMC model SMC8004CM instead. This D-Link DCM-202 is a pain. Unfortunately the SMC8004CM is not found on epinions at the time of this writing.

Review: I originally purchased this for my brother. I was initially impressed by the small size so instead of provisioning it for him, I decided to keep it & set him up with my very reliable Toshiba pcx2200.

1st problem:
Would not link up...

Pros: None.

Cons: It's very likely that It won't work.

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this modem. There are far better alternatives available at comparable prices.

Review: After a power surge destroyed my original cable modem, (a Belkin)I went to Officemax to buy a replacement. The DCM-202 was the only one that was in stock at the time and the claims on the box looked impressive so I bought it. After I got home I...
