Owning your own cable modem can allow you to reduce your monthly cable Internet bill. Many cable companies charge you a monthly rental fee for a modem. Owning your own hardware allows you to avoid this fee. The modem is compatible with Mac, Windows, Linux, and UNIX computers, as well as wired and wireless Internet routers. It features a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 port for connection to a router or computer.
