Product Description

When you combine a modem and wireless access point in one easy to install unit, it's easy to network all the computers, peripherals and game consoles in your home or small office. You'll soon have everyone sharing a single broadband Internet connection - along with files and pictures - behind the safety of a commercial-grade firewall. Always on and always connected, the SBG900 offers a fast Internet connection, a secure network, and the convenience and flexibility of wireless Internet access - all in one! You'll surf the Internet at speeds up to 100 times faster than a traditional analog modem. And whether you're online, doing homework, or working on important files, 802.11g wireless technology means you're not tied down with wires. Roam throughout your home or office - and even take your laptop computer out in the backyard (up to 1312 feet) - without losing your network connection. At the same time, the commercial-grade firewall will keep hackers and viruses from attacking your network.



Good features, lousy interface for most users, resets often

Summary

The Motorola SBG900 certainly has more firewall features than my previous firewall / WiFi hub. And it supports DOCSIS2 which is why I got it (I was forced by CableOne to upgrade). And it mostly works with reasonable speed as a cable modem and as a WiFi...

Strength

DOCSIS2 support
Many firewall features

Weakness

Resets itself often
Setting up useful security will be beyond most users

Bottom Line

Getting a useful firewall configuration will be beyond most users. Frequent resets are annoying.
