Product Information |
In the world of computer electronics,
hardware equipment such as modems can often be complex to use. Not so with
the Cisco Linksys CM100 100 Mbps Modem, it is uncomplicated and delivers fast
cable Internet speeds, without confusing accessories and setup procedures. One phone call to the Internet Service
Provider is all that it takes to complete the installation. The Linksys is
compact and lightweight, at 7.8 ounces. It can be placed just about anywhere
there is adequate space and access to the cable wire. The Linksys CM100 100 Mbps Modem is
compatible with most ISPs (Internet Service Providers). The Linksys CM100 100
Mbps Modem features a single wired Ethernet port, and one USB port, that can
connect a single computer, a wireless router, or a switch to the Internet.
This will allow Internet connections and networking to be shared with all
home computers or office devices, with the use of a wired or wireless router.
Multiple search engines and apps will then
be available to users. A home network will also be established. The coaxial cable port on the modem connects
to the cable provided by the company that offers Internet service. An
Ethernet connection, or a USB connection for Windows software users, are the
two available options. A green ’online’ LED on the front of the
modem indicates that an Internet connection is established and a power jack
port is provided on the back of the modem. It receives power through the
included power cord. Much faster than traditional dial-up speeds, the cable
modem provides direct access to the Internet, without tying up a phone line.
Online gaming will be more fun with faster speeds and reaction times. You can
start downloading video, music or other large files, in a matter of seconds,
instead of the hours it may have taken before using the modem. This cable modem is over 100 times faster
than a dial-up modem. A financial benefit may also be available if an
existing modem is being rented. Owning a cable modem eliminates the monthly
rental fee from the Internet Service Provider. The Linksys CM100 100 Mbps Modem features an
“always on” function that provides the ability to check E-Mail and surf the
Web instantly. Support can be obtained through Cisco, FAQ (frequently asked
questions) or through the Linksys Community Forums. If it becomes necessary to clear the modem’s
connections and return it to the factory default setting, a reset button on
the back panel is available. The Linksys Cable Modem is compliant with
all FCC industry standards and it will work with any DOCSIS cable Internet
Service Provider. The CSM100 has emerged as a leader among cable modems due
its ease of use, the brand identity of CISCO and the reliability of its
hardware. |
