Works great with Comcast . I also decided to upgrade from DSL, as 1 MBPS was the fastest we could get in our neighborhood. I did my due diligence and decided upon the Zoom 5350, as it was on Comcast's approved devices list and had the requirements to meet our needs.
Installation was very simple. I did not have a self-install kit from Comcast, so I just followed the directions for connecting without a kit. I connected the coax cable to the modem, a supplied Ethernet cable from the modem to my computer and everything else went very smoothly. I did not have to call Comcast with the MAC address, as everything was recognized during the install. All, in all installation took approx. 10 minutes, very simple for anyone to accomplish.
Both my wireless laptops with b/g wireless cards (one on a second floor) found the network and connected without a problem after I entered the WAP2 key. I may purchase Wireless-N cards later, but I really don't see the need. Speedtest showed an average of 17 MPBS for a wireless connection and 25 MBPS for wired. I used the Ethernet ports to wire my Blu-Ray player, Wii (I purchased a Wii-Lan converter) and a spare cable if I need to connect a laptop to stream Hulu or Comcast TV online to view through my HDTV. Netflix streams in HD when available (on Blu-Ray, Wii is only SD) and looks and sound great.
We got rid of our cable TV, and purchased the LEAF attenna (see our review) from Mohu. So all our viewing on local channels (it found 35 of them) is free and in HD. If nothing is on that we want to view, we use Netflix, Hulu, or Comcast TV online. We are enjoying the savings, and now with the Zoom faster speeds, great picture quality as well.

Zoom 5350 Wireless Router Reviews
FAST FAST FAST . Decided to upgrade from DSL to cable modem. Was going to buy a Motorola Surfboard, but read reviews mentioning reliability issues and compatibility issues with my ISP (Comcast). Started an in-depth shopping effort for a combined cable modem, router, and N-wireless router and came to a brand I hadn't heard of (ZOOM) that was on the Comcast-approved list. Reading the specifications the modem would seem to be massively over-engineered for home use and a two year warranty was exceptional among its competitors. DOCSIS 3.0 was a must-have for my purchase.
Installation was a snap. Customization for security was easy and I now have the fastest connection I've ever had and WPS security. Using basic, bargain-level Comcast DSL I get download speeds of 2.5Mbytes/sec and uploads around 500K. Wireless signal is very strong and without interference in a building with (literally) a hundred competing networks in range. I can't slow this thing down no matter how many Macs, PCs, iPods, and Droids I have streaming high-resolution video at the same time. Netflix movies are instantaneous. I have had no compatibility issues with any of my wifi-enabled devices. The modem supports 253 devices at a time, so would be ideal if I were to set up a boiler-room stock operation or technical-support call center in my den!
The device is aesthetically appealing and connecting directly by wire to any of the 4 ports (haven't tried the USB port yet) gives a bit more speed. Frankly, I cannot find anything that I have to wait to stream or download, so I haven't had cause to do so other than to test. The build, while plastic, feels very solid. There is no external power converter, so the plug doesn't monopolize my power-strip. I've never felt much about modems before, but this one actually gives me pleasure to own.
I think this is the perfect N-wireless cable modem for anyone who values speed. It would probably be great for gamers and people using videoconferencing. It will last, has a better warranty than competitors, is at the bleeding-edge of technology, and will support the coming Ipv6 protocol. I realized I was taking a chance when I bought from a maker I didn't know. I'm glad I did.

Zoom 5350 Wireless Router Opinions
Works great on Charter . So I recently got a new computer that finally has Windows 7. My old Motorola Cable modem and wireless router would not communicate with it at all. While doing some research on this I found out that there is a new protocol for cable modems, DOCSIS 3.0, that with some providers will provide faster download speeds. My provider Charter is one of those. This Zoom router is DOCSIS 3.0, and also wireless N. My old wireless G router didn't have a good connection with the computer in my home office. This Zoom also has ports for 4 hardwired connections in back, my old Motorola just 1. After reading positives reviews I decided to give Zoom a chance. After about 15 minutes with a friendly Charter gent from India, my Zoom was set up and working good. As others have stated, if the performance is bad MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK flood IP detection in settings. Now my connections wired and wireless are MUCH faster than with the old modem. My computer in the home office now has a strong signal and blazing speed thanks to the wireless N. My Apple TV, PS3 and XBOX360 also play well with the Zoom. Physically it's slighter taller than my old router, the front has easy to read status lights on it. The hardwired ports in back also light up when in use. The Zoom does run hot, compared to my old router, so I recommend you leave some airflow space around it. As for security, it runs the latest wireless encryption standards. I'm very happy with the Zoom and recommend it.

Zoom Docsis 3.0 Modem . Works great with Knology, easy setup and the wireless has pretty good range for a built in. Would definitely recommend.
A solid value . Since this is a gateway, it requires 2 reviews. The modem was very easy to set up and it connected easily to my ISP. Upload/download speeds are impressive and an improvement over the modem rented from our cable company.The router/WiFi works well and was fairly easy to set up on our home network. The guest WiFi function is very useful since my children often have their friends over with their wireless devices.The only thing missing is the ability to control the time that the WiFi is available. Although this does have the capability to disable/enable the WiFi manually using the built in router settings, many newer routers have the capability to shut off the WiFi function on an automatic basis to accommodate school nights.All in all, this is a good value, sets up easily and performs very well.
Zoom 5350 Wireless Router . I'm very pleased with the Zoom 5350 Modem/Router. I can now get wireless internet from anywhere in my house. An additional benefit is that my cable/internet provider was charging me $7 per month for a modem so in approximately 1 year I'll save enough to pay for the modem/router.
Regular restarts required! . Bought this modem to gain access to higher speed Comcast services. And it works - for a while. So far, at least once a week, I must power cycle the modem which seems to get stuck in some hosed state from which it never recovers with a 4 Mbit downstream speed limit. Immediately after restart it's 25Mbits. Look elsewhere.
Cons Review
Fast but Wireless Range Very Poor! . Obviously, the speed of the internet with this router is very fast and it was very easy to setup. However, the range of the wireless is pathetic. We can hardly use this router for wireless connections within 30 feet. My neighbor's wifi comes in just as strong. For this reason alone, I would not recommend this item.
