It seems the major difference between them is that the SB6141 can bond
up to eight downlink channels while the SB6121 can bond only up to four
channels. That means the SB6141 can provide double the downlink
throughput of the SB6121 (SB6121: 160 Mb/s versus SB6141: 320 Mb/s).
Most people don't have such speedy connections though. If your internet
downlink speed is capped below ~100 Mb/s I doubt you'd notice a
difference at all between the two.
