In the BoxSBG6900-AC Wireless Cable Modem GatewayPower CordEthernet CableSoftware License & Warranty CardQuick Start GuideWhat You Should KnowThe SBG6900-AC is a combination wireless cable modem and router that uses DOCSIS 3.0 technology to provide ultra high-speed wired or wireless Internet access from your computer and other wireless network devices on your home or small business network. The SBG6900-AC connects to the existing coaxial cable connection in your home and does not require any new wiring. This quick start guide will help you install your SBG6900-AC and set up a secure wireless network connection on your home or small business network. To take advantage of the 802.11ac wireless performance or beamforming capabilities, your wireless connected devices must support 802.11ac. For optimal performance with 802.11ac, you should connect any wireless devices using older networking protocols to the 2.4 GHz wireless network (not the 802.11ac 5 GHz wireless network).To customize your wireless network connection and other advanced gateway settings, see the SURFboard SBG6900-AC User Guide for more information.
