I got this modem, hooked it up, and absolutely loved it. Even though it is discontinued, there is plenty of support online for this modem but little, if any, is needed. Also, there is no problem for those with (lame) @Home Setups. It says right on the box to use Model No. 3CR29220 or CM29220. 3Com makes an excellent product. Wicked fast. Also, easy to connect, setup, and use.

At the beginning, I got the same time-out(20 minutes) problem, after calling AT&T many times(more than 10), they realized this is because I had not registered the cable modem with their server. After I registered it with their server, time-out issue is gone. There is a tech who visited my apartment to install the system for me. I just wonder this should be the very first step, how come it looks none of AT&T's support knows it?

3COM cable modems apparently have firmware problems that cause the connection to your cable provider to time-out, so you get a tempermental connection and have to try a bunch of resets to get it going again. My cable provider sadi that as long as it was DOCSIS compatible, it shouldn't be a problem - now I know why not a single 3COM was listed as "supported / approved" on their website (for anyone who cares - I'm with Cox Cable in Northern Virginia).Get something else that'll actually work. Sure wish I'd known better...
