Avis sur le produitMotorola SBG6580 SURFboard 343 Mbps 4 Port Gigabit Wireless Cable Modem - Black

Cost-effective SOHO Cable Modem/Router

This ARRIS Wi-Fi Router seems to be a good Motorola product. I had a year's experience with it's(ComCast-provided) big brother ARRIS TG1682G, and decided to purchase the SBG6580 to save the $10/month rental fee.

The SBG6580 is a well-thought-out, easy-to-use network tool, and I had it hooked up to my home system in about 10 minutes out of the box. After a short phone call to Comcast/Xfinity, where they connect it to their servers, I was surfing the web at 50+ Mbps via the ethernet port, and 35 Mbps via Wi-Fi radio. This router has very good help screens to aid the user in setting up it's many variable features. The router works well with our Magic Jack phone system, too. But is doesn't show the names of connected devices like the TG1682G does, only active channels and signal levels of connected devices, so one has to guess about who or what is actively using the router. Also, the RF output power seem a bit lower than the TG1682G, as we can't move as far away with our laptops and tablets as before. Lire l'avis complet...

Cheap but not great speed

I had my Optimum Modem and Router plugged in right before I hooked this modem/router in and check the speed and was up to 40mb/s for download. After I hooked this Motorola modem/router it only went up to 20mb/s for DL speed with an average of 13mb/s. I ran a battery of test, meaning I perform the speed test 3 times with each modem/router and calculated the average speed. I´m truly disappointed as I thought the priced difference (over 200USD) was due to brand and newer models and not performance. I can still steam videos but sometimes I have to leave them loading before watching which never happened before.Lire l'avis complet...

Motorola Surfboard Modem

I purchased this used. It didn't come with instructions. But I Google.com. And got instructions on how to hook it up. The Quality the Streaming of Movies is way better than that Modem I was paying $15.00 a month for. I wish I had did this last year when I first got cable and Internet service I would have saved myself $210.00 just on that modem. Also I tried to get some help on reprogramming the box I called Motorola and the rep wanted $35.00 for a one year protection. My Question was simple. But that OK I figured it out on my own. Also the Seller was very helpful. By sending emails to me on how to reset the box. I hope this will help you in your decision on buying a modem. This brand is super fast works perfect. Good luck. Ps you can't go wrong buying this item on ebay. Instead of Wa#&/#!& o or Best/$$
And paying upwards $200.00 for it. Good luck on your search.Lire l'avis complet...

SBG6580

Works well, especially with Ethernet, but go to modem website(Arris) and run quick setup and be sure to set at 5ghz for network band if your provider has it. That will double your mbps rate on WiFi. Otherwise you will run at 2.5 and that’s slow.Lire l'avis complet...

Comapct size, excellent signal range, not easy to configure

The Modem/Router is not Plug and play out of the box. It requires calling Time Warner Cable to activate it that takes 30-40 minutes.
Once activated works well and has excellent signal range. The configuration utility is not straight forward and is somewhat complicated. Has dual channel transmission 2.4GHz and 5 GHz, however cannot run both channels simultaneously, you have to choose either run on 2.4GHz or 5GHz I think this was a biggest disappointment. Good compact size, no antennas sticking out that a big plus for me. Overall good value for the money.Lire l'avis complet...

Cheap price and good value

I bought this modem so I can stop giving Comcast $120 a year to "lease" their modem. This modem was at a fantastic price, and it arrived very FAST. I called Comcast tech support 24 hours later to activate it onto my account. It seem like it would've been a quick and simple process since you're only giving them the serial number and mac ID on the modem. However, the rep I spoke to (who was not American) took around 30-35 minutes to get it activated properly.

Anyway, the modem itself is easier to look at than Comcast's huge modem. This Arris model is small and easier to hide away. In my living room where the modem is stored, the wi-fi is pretty solid and strong. However, I can notice a very very small speed difference from the Comcast modem. Fortunately, the difference is small enough that I'm still happy with my decision to buy this modem. The router feature is ok, but there is a slightly noticeable drop off of speed when I use wi-fi in my bedroom only 20 feet or so from the modem. This is a bit annoying, but not a huge deal or deal breaker worthy (yet).

All in all, I'm satisfied with this item and would buy it again. I recommend it to others as well.Lire l'avis complet...

Good as modem, weak WiFi output

The modem is very good for the primary reason it is made for. It saves people $10 per month. It is very easy to setup. The Ethernet/hard wire speed is good but the WiFi speed not that good. I get around 57 Mbps peak from the modem WiFi so I don't use it and 117-120 Mbps from the router connected to the modem which I use. I bought it for a reasonable price so the saving will really starts in the 5th month. The seller was really nice in terms of communication and shipping speed.Lire l'avis complet...

Surfboard Modem

Easy set up; just didn't know I had to call our local internet provider to have them switch from the leased modem to the purchased one until I couldn't connect to internet. After and since I got that straightened out, it works as well as the leased one, which was the same one as I purchased Lire l'avis complet...

As good as Xfinity wireless modem with 4 ethernet inputs

This thing is smaller than the current (Jan 2018) Xfinity Arris Wireless Modem but it handles just as much - my computer internet, Sling TV, Netflix & my MagicJack phone too. I can be on my laptop web browser while watching Netflix on the TV in 1080 HD, while also talking on my MagicJack phone. I also run the bedroom TV FireStick connection off of this modem. It's miraculous. Saves me $10 monthly off my Xfinity/Comcast bill.Lire l'avis complet...
