Motorola SURFboard® Wireless Cable Modem Gateway (SBG900) Reviews
Call Motorola tech support. If you are using Vonage VIOP, you basically have to tell the SBG900's firewall to allow the Vonage system to work.
They (the ISP) will be able to tell you if they can see the signal or not. You do have to call your cable provider and tell them that you are installing a new cable modem and give them your MAC ID number and ask them to syncronize it.
The wireless router cable modem is excellent. Great buy.
Above all, I am very pleased with this router. I had a little trouble getting it to work with my Vonage phone service though, but after calling Motorola tech support, everything went very smooth.
They are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about VIOP issues. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't a "N" band router, but even though it isn't, it still works awesome.
Thought about renting a modem from comcast, but am glad we bought this one. Had a Linksys before and it was HORRIBLE, constantly dropping and often not working at all (even though all the modem lights indicated otherwise). We've been using this modem for about 2 weeks now, and it works great. I frequently work from home and VPN into our network, but haven't had any problems. Set up on my Dell laptop, but also works fine on the household's Mac. The motorola was easy to install (and I'm no IT genius), just a call to comcast and we were online.
I love the space savings. Maybe I will look into a signal booster for the upstairs. The only negative comment is that the range is not as quite as good as my linksys router. I purchased this Wireless cable modem to replace an older cable modem and separate linksys wireless router. It was very easy to install and setup. I am very happy with this product and I would highly recommend it.
The internet works smoothly for the most part of the time. Is good to see no cables around your computer. The product works nicely and as good as the wired Motorola Surfboard.
Yay. Eventually it will pay for itself and keep saving me money. It's approved by comcast so I turned in the rental and am saving $3/month. I had a netgear that would lose the wireless connection daily, causing my roommates to call me and complain (since I administer the network at our house). Since I installed this router a month ago, it hasn't lost connectivity once. I love this modem/router.
