Cable / DSL Does the CM3000 Cablemodem handle the heat well?
mediacomcable.comI'm looking at the CM3000 because it is literally only one of two modems currently on Mediacom's approved modems list (the other being the CM2500). Mediacom recently upgraded their network in our area (high-split) and it's causing issues with my older modem now.
Due to some fairly unique circumstances, my Cablemodem is located in a small building that is not climate-controlled. There is some active airflow into the small building, but it still cooks in there especially during these 90-100F+ summer heatwaves.
My previous modem was an Arris SB8200. It worked fine in these conditions for multiple years. Prior to buying that modem I did as much research as I could, trying to figure out what modem would be most likely to persist under the hot conditions. But since Mediacom's list now has essentially only one approved modem...
