MOTOROLA MB7420-10-W Cable Modem
This review was written on the same day that you received the modem. So do not trust him because it seems long-term. The installation process is fine and the modem is working properly. I still have a quick payment. I purchased a modem because the service provider is updating its network. After completing the update, I need a 16-channel modem to use the existing plan at the new speed it provides. I want to write this review to provide helpful data to anyone who is considering the model because I want to find documentation on new modems before buying.
The first is the heat generated by the device. Attached photo taken with thermal imaging camera, which displays the modem after two hours of operation. It reads 111 degrees Fahrenheit at its maximum point. (~ 44 ° C) This means your modem can be felt but hot.
I also measured the power consumption of the modems in idle mode using the power dissipators. It is connected to the network via a modem, and some devices are connected via a router with open connections, but there are no active downloads or live transfers. Average power consumption when idle is 7.7 watts.
I love the modem myself, although I am not sure that I will keep it. Compared to the previous modem (SB6141), both power consumption (5.9W vs 7.7W) and heat output (98F vs 111F) are higher. From the front, it provides twice the number of channels and twice the top speed. Given the improved performance, the difference between the two devices could mean that the MB7420 is actually better in performance per watt. If you need the type of speed that this modem can run, this is a good choice.
