A home network enables you to access and move information between two or
more computers in your home or business. You can connect your home network
to your cable TV system to connect to the Internet.
Your SURFboard Gateway SBG1000 is the central connection point between
your computers and the Internet. It directs (routes) information between the
computers connected to your home network. A built-in cable modem transmits
information between your home network and the Internet.

computers to the SBG1000. Your network can use one or any combination of:
