With a good strong signal this modem works perfectly. It stacks neatly onto an existing Linksys router too. The build quality is typical Linksys which I consider quite good for comsumer level gear. My only regret is that we did not switch sooner.

Customer Feedback

I needed to replace an expensive FAX modem that failed after several years. This was remarkably affordable, offered a simple USB connection, and seemed to fill the bill. Amazon delivered it quickly (as is typical) and I opened the package. Just a mini-CD with drivers, the modem, and a USB cable… what was advertised. No FAX software supplied (which is OK as I already had mine). Took about 20 seconds to attach the USB (which also powers the modem) and phone line. Another minute to install the drivers. And.. about 30 seconds to have my FAX software autodetect the modem and self-configure.
And.. then about two hours later, the first unexpected FAX came in. Worked perfectly. I’m delighted withe cost, the ease of installation, and the performance. One happy customer here.

The average home or work network has two or more computers accessing the internet simultaneously. Whether they are sending email attachments, making internet VoIP phone calls or playing games online, their applications will have an effect on one another as each application fights for bandwidth in a specific network. The result is a slowdown in ALL applications called “internet lag.”
The Broadband Booster is a plug and play device that is placed between your internet modem and router that eliminates “internet lag” in your network. It manages and “boosts” your internet applications as they exit your network onto the internet for a more efficient usage of your network’s bandwidth. The result is a “lag-free” experience from all internet applications!

I have seen some improvements, but not the maximum 400% quoted. For example, VoIP quality is maintained, even while uploading or downloading files (before, VoIP would really suffer when sending out large email attachments for example).
The same goes for gaming, latency stays low even while doing file transfers. Don’t expect it to do miracles, but especially when you have a network with several computers or you are using several applications at the same time (e.g. VoIP, gaming and file transfers), it will make things run a lot more smoothly than before.

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.
Give your entire family or small office all the benefits of a secure wireless network with the SBG900 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway — your effortless broadband network solution.
When comparing download speeds with a traditional 28.8k analog modem. Actual speeds will vary, and are often less than the maximum possible. Upload and download speeds are affected by several factors including, but not limited to: network traffic and services offered by your cable operator or broadband service provider, computer equipment, type of server, number of connections to server, and availability of Internet router(s).

I don’t know what the other reviewer did, but this thing works great, right out of the box! It was a no brainer. I traded in a Lynksys modem and Netgear WiFi router. THAT combo wouldn’t let me videocam. This Motorola does!
But this Motorola was a much cheaper option, works with Comcast and supports webcams with no additional setup. I’m so glad I got it and HIGHLY recommend it. It’s cheaper and takes up less space if you need to purchase both a modem and WiFi router. It was SO easy.
