Hi all, which is the better cable modem to have? The SB5101 or the SB5100? I believe the SB5101 is more of a pain to hack. Thanks.

there both as easy as the other but most ppl would go for the 5100 because u can't brick them and when it comes to putting the settings in it can be done through the browser.tho the 250 configurator will set the 5101.
