This gateway works just like it is supposed to. The setup didn't take too long, the Cat-5 cable hookup works, and the wireless works with my PS3. If you unplug it while the computer is on, it takes a bit of fussing to disconnect, reconnect, and repair the connection... but there's nothing faulty about it.
THE WORST MODEM I HAVE EVER OWNED

Reviewer: dasmydawgg,
The title says it all. Every 5-10 min i have to reset the modem, even with a direct connection. The signal constantly goes out. If i could give it a zero star rating, i would. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MODEM. You will be very sorry you did.
Great for web browsing, Poor for online gaming.

Great: easy setup, combined with modem and wireless router, no need to purchase any additional equipments for you to surf the web. Has 1 Ethernet connection and 1 usb.
Poor: not good for gaming. Port forwarding or triggering isn't working well with gaming. Decent speed, but you will get disconnected from an on-going game frequently.
Great All-In-One Product

I purchased the newer version of this model (the SBG901) after my SBG900 died after six years of constant use. I have yet to find out what the technical differences are between the two models. Motorola's website shows no differences on their comparison chart. The only changes I've noticed are that the newer model loses the USB port (never needed it, anyway), has an internal antenna, and sports an uglier housing (in my opinion). Also, I think that the admin software on the newer model is more confusing. So, if you can find this older model for less money than the newer one, I definitely recommend it.
Worked ... for a while. Seller a nightmare

This unit was purchased on Amazon and supplied by a reseller.
The modem was pretty easy to set up, worked for a while, then kept resetting itself. I returned the unit. Three weeks later I'm still trying to get my refund from Amazon's supplier.
NO UPNP COMPATIBLE

if you are into online gaming this wont work. the port trigeting conflicts with the router eventhough port trigering is configured on both. if you just need online access this will do. it also has a router. for my case this was a pain because it wasnt compatible with upnp protocols. which means slow online game experience, slow downloads, and unreliable for ps3 xbox and port mapping. my title says it all...
Constantly loses signal

Reviewer: Gambit,
The wireless signal on this constantly goes out. Almost every day I have to unplug/replug it to get the signal back. I'm just dealing with it for now but will upgrade soon to a more reliable brand.

Wonderful, works like a charm. Have used it now for over a year and no problems what so ever. Bought it since I was not willing to string a 100 feet of cable in the house from the cable modem that Time Warner supplied for free and did not have space for wireless router and cable modem next to each other. This device substitutes both of them. Very satisfied.
worse ever.

I've never seen a worse modem ever, if it's not gonna works from even a couple of meters far away why should I use this product..! it's not a big house at all, there is not any wall or something between modem and computers, it stays near of my room but there is not any efficient solution at all either, but if you check the price of this modem you're gonna see that it pretends it's a quality product. The matter of fact is it's not. My third floor neighbour uses apple product modem and I can use that connection from first floor and absolutely better than mine which stays near of my door. It's more expensive but it definitely worths..
Works reliably
