I purchased this at Best Buy for less than a year's cable modem rental from Comcast. Why rent a modem for $8 a month when you can buy one cheaper and own it when you're move on?
I choose this over a cable modem with an embedded Wi-Fi router for two reasons. First, I prefer to use my own modified router running OpenWRT. Second, I don't want to give Comcast the ability to turn my personal internet connection into a hot spot for others which could slow down my connection speed. (I'm not sure if they could do that with a model I purchased independently, but I'm not taking the chance.)
It was very simple to install and set up. If you're comfortable with your ability to plug in 3 cables, prefer to save money by buying a modem as opposed to renting, and have (or want to buy) a separate wireless router that you can configure this is something you should definitely look into.
I would recommend this to a friend!

With the Motorola SB6121 Modem, does it offer a wireless router, or is it one that has to stay plugged into a computer?

This device does not have a built-in wireless router. You would either have to leave it plugged into your computer or use a separate wireless router with it. Using a separate router is as easy as plugging one in to the single Ethernet port on the back of the modem.

Will this modem work with the Netgear WNDR3300 wireless router?

This device is only a cable modem. It has a single Ethernet port on the back that you should be able to plug into any wireless router or computer for internet access. So yes, this device should work with your wireless router.
