Summary: Excellent for AT&T
Review: ... It's easy to set-up with AT&T. I called AT&T and they gave me the website to register. It was done in less than 10 minutes and I was surfing faster than my leased RCA. I recommend this product since now it should take less than 8 months worth of lease to fully pay this modem. Beats leasing. Again, easy set-up if you have AT&T. No trouble with windows XP.

Summary: WORKS GREAT W/ THE NEW IMAC!
Review: COMPLETELY painless set-up. Even for someone who has just switched to the Apple OS. I'm on a budget, so I did the self-install and simply called the cable company to activate the line (which made installation free). They did, I turned on the computer, and it was up and going w/ no software installation, tweaking, or filling in IP addresses etc. I was amazed, because both the cable company and D-Link provided software and substantial manuals.I did do the ethernet connection instead of the USB line, simply because of space. I would recommend the ethernet because 1) it saves a USB port, and 2)I didn't see any Apple drivers listed in the D-Link Literature.

Summary: An Exceptional Modem
Review: Don't be fooled by the price, you can't go wrong with this beauty. I had it up and running within 10 minutes of taking it out of the box, a simple call to my ISP to advise of the new MAC was all it required. As if this were not enough, it is noticeably faster than the Motorolla Surfboard it replaced.

Summary: Very Un-Impressed
Review: First of all the lights on this modem make very little sense and require you to refer to the manual to decode them. Secondly the manual is terribly unhelpful for trouble shooting. And lastly the modem must lay flat and has no feet for standing on edge like most other modems. I made a big mistake buying this one... I should have stuck with the Surfboard I was renting.

Summary: Average
Review: Hello Amazon community, I got this modem included in my cable deal, it performs ok, but I have not been able to make it work on Windows 98 SE with the USB port, which I somehow believe would work faster then the Ethernet port.
I have tried everything at least twice, and still no USB.

Summary: They don't stand behind their products...
Review: I give one star because you cannot assign a "zero" star. We purchased the D-Link DCM 200 cable modem to replace the one we were renting (Toshiba PCX 2500) and wanted to use it in a USB port. Well, the DCM was just the start of our woes. After several tries at installation (and literally several HOURS with tech support from our cable company), we were told that we had to use an ethernet connection--which we did not have.
Finally, we installed an ethernet card--only to have failure again. We contacted D-Link; they have a one-year warranty, only they do not provide refunds. They ask that the consumer return the item, and fill out a "cross-shipment agreement" form and include our credit card number. This, I imagine, would ensure the customer would ship the defective merchandise as the replacement is being shipped out. Well, on the form, it states that all returned items are tested. If the item is deemed perfectly functional by D-Link, a 10% restocking fee is assessed to the customer's credit card! You have to read this on their Web site to believe it! How's that for good faith in the customer?! We once bought a coffee-maker and shipped it back--the company (Mr. Coffee) sent us a NEW one! If you want a company who will stand behind their products, DO NOT buy from D-Link!

Summary: surprised by failure
Review: I had this modem for over 2 years and had only minor problems such as the need to reboot at least once a week to clear out errors from the buffer. Everything was working fine until last week when it suddenly stopped working. At first I thought it was service interruption so I spent several hours on the phone with my ISP only to figure out that my modem is a problem. The modem acted as if it could not get the signal. After reading some of the horror stories, here at Amazon, related to D-Link's customer service I decided just to throw it away and buy new Motorola Surfboard. Although I don't notice any speed difference with the surfboard, it takes much less time to boot up. Whereas with DCM 200 it took approx. 40 seconds to boot, with my new Motorola it takes no more than 10 seconds. I always thought that D-Link makes good, high quality products but this incident changed my mind. I won't buy another D-link.

Summary: Change your modem and save some money
Review: I have att broadband and instead of leasing the modem ... per month, I was thinking, why not purchase a modem, where you can keep it. This modem comes out to be ... after rebate which if you are planning to have broadband for more than 7 months, this would pay for itself. I wish I had done it earlier because I have already paid for 5 months worth for the cable modem, I could have already own the modem. Setting it up was a piece of cake. I simply installed the driver as the instructions said, called at&t and gave them my modem's product number, plugged in my new modem and waalah, my modem was working. This modem comes with USB connection also, but I can't seem to get that to work, but I'm happy with the ethernet connection. Before buying this modem, check your broadband internet company's website to see if it is compatible with their system. Also, I heard that some companies charge you to pick up your old modem, mine said that they didn't but I didn't want to take the chance so I returned it to my local office myself. Also comes with a 5 year warranty, the nice looking linksys one comes with only a 1 year warranty, something to consider.

Summary: Fast and Easy
Review: I have Macs and this little modem was easy to install using ethernet. Just plug it in and call the cable company to register the modem. I have had it for a month and it is working fine. The price was the best I could find. Marge
