Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG901 DOCSIS 2.0 Wireless Cable Modem

Great Deal Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG901 DOCSIS 2.0 Wireless Cable Modem

I bought this modem to replace an old Linksys Wireless-G that my cable company dropped support for.

There are other reviews that describe why this is a good modem. I agree.

What I found is that the setup software is poor. The automated process wants to connect to the internet to proceed. Well, fine, but in my situation I needed to have the settings configured in order to register my modem with the cable company. No big deal to configure manually, except the CD forces you to install some useless software to access a .pdf user's manual -- very stupid Motorola, the .pdf manual should be in the root file of the CD. It took longer to get to the manual than it did to configure the modem.

Once I got to the user's manual, configuring the modem was very fast and easy. Wi-fi setup was also very easy. The configuration settings are laid out in a straightforward fashion, so once you are in the setup you almost do not need the manual anymore.

A very good modem for the money. I give the product a high rating because the issue with the manual is a one-time irritation and does not impact the quality of the product.

Don't forget to change your admin password and the wi-fi SSID.

This works like a charm. I picked up these from Best Buy for 9 and tested them out. After that I bought it off Amazon for half the price (returned those of course). I have 13 servers that are connected to this modem through a switch and about 4 computers connected wireless. Its good stuff.
