Welcome

The Linksys Cable Modem is the easiest and most affordable way to get a blazing fast connection to the Internet

--far faster than a dial-up, and without tying up your phone line. The "always on" connection eliminates dial-up wait time and busy signals. Web surfing and your e-mail are instantly available, anytime. And with the extra speed, online gaming is a whole new experience, and download time on big music, video, and other files goes from hours to minutes.

Installation is quick and simple. Connect it directly to any PC with an available USB or Ethernet port, and you’re ready to surf the Internet. Or connect it to a Linksys router and share that high-speed Internet access with everyone on your home network.

The Linksys Cable Modem is fully compliant with all industry standards—DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0—so you know it’ll work with any cable Internet service provider.
