A DOCSIS 1.1 based cable modem, Router with 5-port 10/100 switch and 802.11b wireless access point, the SBG1000 reduces clutter and eliminates the need for three separate products while allowing multiple users (up to 253) to enjoy all the benefits of a full-fledged, wired and/or wireless network that is supported with an advanced firewall for enhanced security.

    Piece of Cake...and it works great with my Mac, September 11, 2003
By user (Corvallis, OR USA)
... The cable modem portion (through an ethernet cable) works seamlessly and I got connected to my comcast.net net account with in 15 minutes of being out of the box (10 of those minutes were spent getting to a human with Comcast...I received my wireless card 4 days later (Macsense WPE-700 AEROCARD PLUS WIRELESS PCCARD). I did not have to load any software for the Motorola (gotta love a Mac) and made sure to have the most current software from Macsense for my wireless card. I followed the VERY simple instructions from Macsense. A quit reboot (and inserting my wireless card)...Poof it worked.

Another major concern of mine was going through floors and walls. My wireless system works great through 4 walls and one floor without any loss in signal...just like CNET said. I have not yet hooked up the print server and I am not completely convinced that I can do that for my USB printer, but otherwise it lived up to its expectations.
