Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Motorola surfboard
This is a great product. Much simpler and more compact than seperate modum and router. For reasons completely unclear to me it isn't availible in any store I visited. Amazon is a great way to buy it,



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wireless Motorola Cable Modem
Motorola SURFboard® Wireless Cable Modem Gateway (SBG900)

I love this item! Setup was hassle free. I will caution those who are not tech savvy to call your cable provider customer support and give them the MAC Address of the device before installing it.. this is especially necessary if you have a phone service like Vonage. Comcast has a special customer support phone option to setup a store bought device.

There was a small glitch with the Vonage service if you turn on the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product
I bought a Linksys WCG200 combo cable modem/router from BestBuy a year ago, stupidly ignoring the warnings about random disconnects.

In desperation, I purchased the Motorola SBG900 from Amazon (for a lot less money than the Linksys) and couldn't be happier.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Convenient all-in-one, but the DHCP server gets confused
I have a pretty diverse network, so I needed something that was not going to insist I toe the Windows line. This unit was easy to set up at first, and the speed was very good.

It would occasionally get a complaint from the DHCP server that the requested IP was already taken. Then it would be stuck, not able to get an IP at all. This ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect so far!!
I am using the modem and wireless router with a PS3, laptop and printer. I have had no problems so far. I'm saving money by not having to rent the cable company's modem and I get the wireless router to boot. I can gain access to the network from anywhere in the house and my PS3 has no lag time. Overall, I am glad that I purchased this item.
