Powerful Features in a Single Unit
An SBG1000 combines high-speed Internet access, networking, and computer security for a home or small-office
LAN. An SBG1000 provides:
•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 802.11b Wi-Fi certified 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 at 11 Mbps.
•A USB connection for a single PC.
•A router with a five-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch, supporting half- or full-duplex connections,
dual-purpose switch/uplink ports, and Auto-MDIX.
•An HPNA connection to connect computers to the LAN over existing telephone wiring with up to 10 Mbps
throughput.
•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)
•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.
•Connectors for an optional external diversity antenna (see “Optional Accessories”)
•A print server to enable Windows®, Macintosh®, UNIX®, or Linux® computers to share a printer.
