Great product, cable modem-router-gateway, I just love it!
What a great and powerful features: • An integrated high-speed SURFboard cable modem for continuous broadband access to the Internet and other online services, with much faster data transfer than traditional dial-up or ISDN modems • A single broadband connection for up to 253 computers to surf the web; all computers on the LAN communicate as if they were connected to the same physical network • An IEEE 802.11g wireless access point to enable laptop users to remain connected while moving around the home or small office or to connect desktop computers without installing network wiring. Depending on distance, wireless connection speeds can match that of Ethernet. • A USB connection for a single PC • A dual-purpose 10/100Base-T Ethernet uplink port supporting half- or full-duplex connections and Auto-MDIX • Routing for a wireless LAN or a wired Ethernet LAN connected using a hub or switch • A built-in DHCP server to easily configure a combined wired and/or wireless Class C private LAN • An advanced firewall supporting stateful-inspection, intrusion detection, DMZ, denial-of-service attack prevention, and Network Address Translation (NAT). Network Address Translation (NAT) provides security because the IP addresses of SBG900 LAN computers are not visible on the Internet. • Virtual private network (VPN) pass-through operation supporting IPSec, PPTP, or L2TP to securely connect remote computers over the Internet • Port Forwarding to configure ports to run applications having special network requirements works for me, Thanks Motorola!
This modem is indeed simple enough to set up, and it works, much of the time anyway. It does however have some distinct problems.
The first major problem that bothered me is that this modem cannot automatically sense new hardware if you unplug one computer from the ethernet connection and plug in another. You will have no internet until you pull the power from the modem for a couple of minutes and it forgets it's settings. The next problem confused me for a long time. I reset the admin password for a bit of security, but found after a while that I could no longer log in. I thought I'd forgotten the password, but then read a post saying that it forgets passwords and will refuse any password after that. True enough, I manually reset it to factory settings and reset the password. Great. Then the modem forgot that password. The wifi 'router' is abysmal. Forget it. The signal drops in and out and it will often refuse to negotiate a connection. Resettig to factory settings and then doing the security again from scrath seems to fix that a bit.
i have that same problem now. How did you "manually reset the password to factory settings" i have tried the pin hole in the back to do a hard reset a few times and i still can not log in.
I just tried the new version of Safari and it works perfectly fine... There must be something with internet explorer(ie) that's keeping me from loging in to my modem (motorola sbg900)
