Chapter 2
Getting Started
The ARRIS SURFboard® SBR-AC1750 Wireless Router is a 3x3 dual-band 11ac router, allowing users to
connect to the Internet through a separate DOCSIS-compliant cable modem. With Qualcomm solution
and StreamBoost application to provide best throughput in different applications.
The SBR-AC1750 Wireless Router has the following features:

Remote management capability: allows you to make changes to your Wireless Router's
configuration from anywhere on the Internet.

Smart stream management: Qualcomm StreamBoostTM technology automatically gives
applications and devices the bandwidth they need for the best online experience

Convenience: supports Ethernet and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless connections; both can be used
simultaneously
This guide provides a product overview and instructions for installing and configuring the
SBR-AC1750. It also includes procedures for setting up secure wireless network connections and
managing your SBR-AC1750 and network configurations.
What about Security
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain amount of responsibility
to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a reasonably secure system. While no system
is 100% secure, you can use the following tips to enhance your system’s security:

Keep the operating system of your computer updated with the latest security patches. Run the
system update utility at least weekly.

Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addition, avoid opening
email containing attachments, or opening files sent through chat rooms, whenever possible.

Install a virus checker and keep it updated.

Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Wireless Router. Besides certain
vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit running servers on consumer-level
accounts and may suspend your account for violating your terms of service.

Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email.

Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other Internet
users (some are shipped open by default). Criminals can take advantage of open proxies to hide
their identity when breaking into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy,
your cable company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network.

The SBR-AC1750 ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same reasons that you
should run only secured proxies). See the security label on your product for the factory security
settings. If you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see Configuring Your Wireless
Connection.

Ethernet or Wireless?
There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the SBR-AC1750. The following
will help you decide which is best for you:
Ethernet
Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local Area Network (LAN).
You can use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-in Ethernet hardware.
Note: To connect more than four computers to the SBR-AC1750 through the Ethernet ports, you need an
Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers).
The Wireless Router package comes with one 4-foot (1.2m) Ethernet cable (the connectors look like
wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if necessary at a computer retailer. If you
are connecting the Wireless Router directly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub with a cross-over
switch, ask for Category 5e (CAT5e) straight-through cable. CAT5e cable is required for gigabit
Ethernet (Gig-E), not regular CAT5 cable.
In the Box
Before installing the SBR-AC1750, check that the following items are included in the box. If any items
are missing, please call ARRIS Technical Support at 1-877-466-8646.

Installing the Router
This product is for indoor use only. Do not route the Ethernet cable(s)
outside of the building. Exposure of the cables to lightning could create a
safety hazard and damage the product.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your Wireless Router:

Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be switched and should be
close enough to the Wireless Router that extension cords are not required.

Is the cable modem nearby? Can you easily run cables between the wireless router’s location and
the cable modem?

If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run cables between the Wireless
Router’s location and those devices?

If you want to mount the Wireless Router on a wall, does the location provide a solid surface for
secure attachment? For best results when mounting the Wireless Router on drywall, position the
Wireless Router so at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud. This may prevent the Wireless
Router from pulling out of the wall in the future.

If you want to install the Wireless Router on a desktop, is there enough space on either side to
keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause overheating.

How close are your wireless devices? The Wireless Router wireless connection range is typically
100–200 feet (30m–65m). A number of factors can affect connection range, as described below.
Desktop Mounting Instructions
Position the Wireless Router so that:

Air flows freely around it.

The rear faces the nearest wall.

It will not fall to the floor if bumped or moved.

The sides of the unit are not blocked.
Cleaning Instructions
Clean the Wireless Router using only a clean, slightly moistened, cloth. Do not use aerosols in the
vicinity of the Wireless Router.

Factors Affecting Wireless Range
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections.
Increases
range

Decreases
range

Raising the unit above the devices (for example, installing the
Wireless Router in the upper floor of a multi-story dwelling)
Lowering the unit below the devices (for example, installing the
Wireless Router in a basement)
 Metal or concrete walls between the Wireless Router and other
devices
 Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets between the
Wireless Router and other devices
 Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones, microwave
ovens, or other wireless networks)
Note: Note that decreasing the range of your wireless network may be beneficial, as long as the decreased
range is sufficient for your needs. By limiting your network’s range, you reduce interference with other networks
and make it harder for unwanted users to find and connect to your network.
Note: Setting the transmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it to Medium or Low decreases
the range proportionately.

Troubleshooting Tips
Solutions
The Wireless Router is plugged in, but the Power light is Off
Check all power connections. Is the power cord plugged in firmly at both ends?
If you plugged the power cord into a power strip, make sure the strip is switched on.
Avoid using an outlet controlled by a wall switch, if possible.
Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
I'm not getting on the Internet (all connections)
It may take over 30 minutes to establish a connection the first time you power up your Wireless
Router, especially when many people are online. Always leave your Wireless Router plugged into AC
power and connected to the cable system.
Check the front panel lights:

The Power and Online lights should be on.

If the Power light blinks for more than 30 minutes, call your cable company for assistance.
Check your cable connections. Connectors should be tight. The coax cable should not be pinched,
kinked, or bent sharply—any of these can cause a break or short in the cable (you may have to replace
the cable). If you have one or more splitters between the Wireless Router and CATV outlet, remove the
splitters and connect the Wireless Router directly to the outlet.
Proceed to the Ethernet or wireless solutions if necessary.
I'm not getting on the Internet (Ethernet)
If you are using a hub, is the hub turned on?
Are you using the right type of Ethernet cable? Use the supplied cable for direct connection to a
computer; use a cross-over cable for connection to a hub.
Press the Reset button on the back of the Wireless Router.
A misconfiguration could lock out all access to the Wireless Router router. If you think this has
happened, see Resetting the Router to Factory Defaults (page Error! Bookmark not defined.).
I'm not getting on the Internet (Wireless)
Check the indicator lights, see Using the Wireless Router — the Wi-Fi light should be on.
Does your connection utility discover your wireless LAN? If you turned off “Broadcast SSID” you need
to manually enter the name of your wireless LAN in the connection utility.

Change your security mode to “disabled”. Enable one of the other security modes as soon as you find
the problem.
A misconfiguration could lock out all access to the SBR-AC1750. If you think this has happened, see
Resetting the Router to Factory Defaults (page Error! Bookmark not defined.).
My wireless Internet connection stops working sometimes
This is usually caused by interference. Two common sources are 2.4GHz “remote” telephones and
microwave ovens. If you cannot remove the interfering product, try using a different channel or
setting Protected Mode.
I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow
If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trouble servicing all the
requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few minutes and try again. Usage during peak
hours may also affect the connection speed.
Other communications on the LAN, or interference with wireless connections, may slow down your
connection.

Troubleshooting Your Wireless Connection
The three main factors that affect wireless network performance are:

Range from the client devices

Interference from other wireless devices

Client device hardware/software configuration
365-095-27433 x.1

Factors Affecting Wireless Range
How close are your wireless devices to your Wireless Router? The Wireless Router’s wireless
connection range is typically 100 to 200 feet (30m to 65m).
Note: You should try to centralize the Wireless Router in relation to where the wireless client devices will
usually be located.
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections, as described in this table.
Effect on Range
Factor
Increases range

Decreases range

Raising the unit above the devices (for example, installing the Wireless
Router in the upper floor of a multi-story dwelling)
 Setting the transmit power level to High





Lowering the unit below the devices (for example, installing the
Wireless Router in a basement)
Metal or concrete walls between the Wireless Router and client devices
Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets between the
Wireless Router and client devices
Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones, microwave ovens,
or other wireless networks)
Setting the transmit power level to Medium or Low
Setting the wireless mode to 5 GHz reduces interference but also
decreases range.
Note: Decreasing the range of your wireless network may be beneficial, as long as the decreased range is
sufficient for your needs. By limiting your network’s range, you reduce interference with other networks and
make it harder for unwanted users to find and connect to your network.
Interference from Other Wireless Devices
Interference from other equipment operating at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz in the area of your wireless network
can significantly affect the range and performance of your network, such as:

Cordless phones

Wireless speakers

Microwave ovens

Baby monitors

Gaming consoles, such as Wii™, Xbox, and PlayStation®

Any other devices operating at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
Note: If your cordless phones or other wireless devices are interfering with your wireless network’s
performance, replace them with a similar device that operates on a different frequency if possible. For example,
change to 5.8 GHz cordless phones.
365-095-27433 x.1
SBR-AC1750 Wireless Router User Guide 28
This document is uncontrolled pending incorporation in an ARRIS CMS
Client Device Hardware/Software Configuration
Client device hardware/software configuration can also affect your wireless network performance.
For example, your computer’s operating system, network adapter, processor, and hard drive access
speed can all affect the transfer speeds that you experience across the network.
If wireless performance is slow, check the following items.
Verify which 802.11 Standard the Wireless Clients Can Use
If your client device network adapters use the older 802.11b or 802.11g standards, you should
upgrade them to the 802.11n standard. Network adapters using the older standards can reduce the
performance of your entire network.
802.11b (becoming more rare but not extinct yet) is much slower than 802.11g, which is slower than
802.11n. The MAXIMUM theoretical limit for each standard is as follows.

802.11b: 11 Mbps

802.11g: 54 Mbps

802.11n: 130 Mbps to 450 Mbps (depending on the wireless router AND wireless client hardware)
Note: Actual maximum throughput performance typically does not exceed 50% of the above values.
Perform a Site Survey to Determine the Best Channel
Use wireless network scanning software such as MetaGeek’s free inSSIDer tool to see how many other
wireless routers and access points are broadcasting.
For wireless 2.4 GHz, try to find the cleanest channel among channels 1, 6, and 11. These are the only
three channels that do not overlap. If there are no good options among channels 1, 6 and 11, you can
try channel 4 or 8. However, selecting these channels can cause degraded throughput speeds if there
is a lot of traffic on channel 1, 6, or 11. For wireless 5 GHz, choose a channel that is farthest away from
the channel used by any other unit operating in the area.
It is a trial and error process to find the best channel. The best setting may change at any time
depending on all of the other wireless routers in the environment.
Note: When Touchstone 16xx Gateways are set to Auto channel, they will automatically select the cleanest
of the available channels upon boot up.
Adjust the Gateway’s Wireless Configuration Settings

Security Mode/Encryption Algorithm
•
•
The recommended security mode/encryption algorithm is WPA2-PSK (AES) for best
performance. All other options will result in degraded throughput speeds. For example, using
WEP and WPA reduces throughput by approximately 80% comparatively.
Note that Security Mode WEP and WPA are not compatible with the 802.11n standard.
Performance would be limited to 802.11g speeds of 54mbps. Also, 802.11n requires WPA2
and AES.


Wireless Mode
•
•

BG Protection
•

The options are Mixed mode or Greenfield. Select Mixed mode if you network consists of a
mix of 802.11 b, g, and n clients. Select Greenfield if your network consists of ONLY 802.11n
clients. The Greenfield mode improves efficiency of networks using only 802.11n devices by
eliminating support for the 802.11a/b/g client devices.
Channel Bandwidth (802.11n only)
•

This option allows you to properly operate 802.11b client devices in 802.11g networks. These
older 802.11b devices required the unit to add overhead to most transmissions.
Operation Mode
•

Set your wireless mode to optimize performance based on the type of network adapters being
used by your network devices, e.g., 802.11b, 820.11g, and 802.11n. Select the proper mode to
support all of the wireless devices that will connect to your router. It’s best to have an
environment with only one standard and set the Gateway to that standard. Since this is not
always feasible, ONLY include the standards that are used in your environment.
The presence of 802.11b devices in an active network will cause the greatest performance
degradation.
Options are 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz . The default setting is 20 MHz. If your wireless network is in
a very clean RF environment setting the Channel Bandwidth to 20/40 will increase your
throughput by “bonding” two channels. However, if there are any other wireless routers or
access points within range of the device it will stay in 20 MHz bandwidth regardless of this
setting. This is a WiFi Alliance requirement. (You can verify the channel bandwidth by using
the previously mentioned wireless network scanning software, MetaGeek’s inSSIDer.)
Guard Interval (802.11n only)
•
This is the time in nanoseconds between symbols for 802.11n frames. Selecting 400ns
provides higher throughput in networks where the coverage distance is small (indoors).
Selecting 800ns provides higher throughput in networks where the coverage distance is large
(outdoors).
Setting Up Your WAN Connection
A Dynamic or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) connection is the most commonly used
WAN connection type.
Note: Do not change this setting unless your Internet Service Provider tells you to use another connection
type.
Perform the following steps to change your connection type.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the WAN Setup tab.
3. Click Dynamic, Dynamic (IPV6), Static, or Static (IPV6) in the side menu to display the appropriate
screen for configuring that type of WAN connection.


Utilities
Note: Refer to Web GUI Screens Overview (page 42) for additional advanced configuration options.
LAN Setup – Configuring DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Protocol Configuration) is enabled by default on your router which allows your
router to act as a DHCP server and automatically assign an IP address to each device on your network.
DHCP is a set of rules used by devices such as a computer, router, or network adapter to allow the
device to request and obtain an IP address from a server which maintains a list of addresses available
for use. The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, e.g., no IP address is assigned to a
second device while the first device's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired).
Without DHCP, the IP addresses must be entered manually at each computer or device and a new IP
address must be entered each time it moves to a new location on the network.
Perform the following steps to configure DHCP.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the LAN Setup tab.
3. Click LAN Settings or LAN Settings (IPV6) in the side menu to display the LAN Settings screen.
4. Click the Enable DHCP Server checkbox under DHCP Server Settings.
5. Enter the Start IP Address and End IP Address for the range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server
will be allowed to assign to a network device.
6. Enter the Lease Time in seconds before the assigned IP address will expire. (After the lease time is
up, the user is automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address.)
Note: Refer to LAN Setup (page 48) for specific instructions on setting the various DHCP configuration
parameters.
7. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen.

LAN Setup – Adding and Deleting DHCP Clients
The DHCP Client screen shows the host Name, IP address, and MAC Address of each computer that is
connected to your network. If a computer does not have a specified host name, then the host Name
field will be blank.
Perform the following steps to configure the DHCP Clients.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the LAN Setup tab.
3. Click Client List in the side menu to display the Client List screen.
4. Click the Add button to add a reserved IP client. Select an existing DHCP client and then click the
Delete button to delete the client. Click the Refresh button to update the Clients List.
LAN Setup – Selecting the NAT Mode
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows your router to manipulate IP addresses so that just one
single IP address can represent an entire group of computers on your network and let them all
communicate with the Internet. This conserves IP addresses and is necessary since there are a finite
number of available IP addresses for use.
Perform the following steps to select the NAT Mode.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the LAN Setup tab.
3. Click LAN Settings in the side menu to display the LAN Settings screen.
4. Select the NAT Mode from the NAT Mode field drop-down list. The optional modes are:

DHCP is a set of rules used by devices such as a computer, router, or network adapter to allow the
device to request and obtain an IP address from a server which maintains a list of addresses available
for use.
The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, e.g., no IP address is assigned to a second
device while the first device's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired).
Without DHCP, the IP addresses must be entered manually at each computer in an organization and a
new IP address must be entered each time a computer moves to a new location on the network.
Start IP Address – Enter the starting address in the range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server will be
allowed to assign to a network device.
End IP Address – Enter the ending address in the range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server will be
allowed to assign to a network device.
Lease Time – Enter the lease time in seconds before the assigned IP address will expire. (After the
lease time is up, the user is automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address.)
DHCP uses the concept of a "lease" or amount of time that a given IP address will be valid for a
computer or other network device. The lease time can vary depending on how long a user is likely to
require the Internet connection at a particular location. Using very short leases, DHCP can dynamically
reconfigure networks where there are more computers than available IP addresses, such as
educational environments.
Domain Name – This field displays the domain name.
NAT:

the requests to real DNS servers and then sends their responses back to the original requesters. Your
gateway basically acts as an intermediate between the requester and the real DNS servers. When DNS
Relay is enabled, the gateway will act as a DNS server, send requests to the Internet Service Provider's
DNS server, and cache the information for later access. When DNS relay is disabled, the computer will
pull domain name/IP address information directly from the ISP's DNS server.

Wireless 2.4 GHz/Wireless 5 GHz
Enable Wireless – Click this checkbox to enable the wireless network on your system.
Channel – Sets a communications channel for your router. The default setting is "Auto", in which the
router selects a channel with the least amount of interference to use. For 2.4 GHz, if you manually
select a channel, it’s best to choose channel 1, 6, or 11, since these channels do not overlap. If another
unit is operating in the area, choose a channel that is farthest away from the channel that unit uses.
For example, if one is using channel 11, set yours to channel 1. For 5 GHz choose a channel that is
farthest away from the channel used by any other unit operating in the area. If you experience
interference or poor performance on a particular channel, try a different channel.
Wireless Network Name (SSID) – Enter a user friendly name to identify your wireless network. This
name is also referred to as the Service Set Identifier (SSID). The name can be up to 32 characters long.
Wireless Mode – Sets the wireless mode. 2.4 GHz Options are: B/G mixed, B only, G only, and G/N
mixed. 5 GHz Options are: A only, A/N mixed, and A/N/AC mixed. Select the proper mode to support
all of the wireless devices that will connect to your router. (802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11
Mb/s. 802.11g supports bandwidth up to 54 Mb/s. 802.11n supports bandwidth up to 300 Mb/s.
802.11ac support bandwidth up to 1.3Gb/s.)
Channel Bandwidth – Sets the 802.11n Channel Bandwidth. Options are 20 MHz, 40MHz,20/40 MHz,
or 80 MHz (5 GHz only). The default setting is 20/40 MHz.
Broadcast Network Name (SSID) – Click this checkbox to allow the SSID to be broadcast by the
router. If enabled, your SSID could be obtained allowing unauthorized access to your network. If you
would like others not to see your access point, uncheck the checkbox to hide the SSID.
AP Isolation – Click this checkbox to enable AP isolation. When enabled each of your wireless clients
will be in its own virtual network and will not be able to communicate with one another. This may be
useful if you have many quests using your network.
Enable WMM – Click this checkbox to enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) functionality. Enabling WMM
can help control latency and jitter when transmitting multimedia content over a wireless connection.
Disabling WMM will reduce wireless performance in 802.11n mode.
This quality of service mechanism uses four access categories, which in order of priority are: voice,
video, best effort, and background. This ensures that applications with low tolerance for latency and
jitter are treated with higher priority than less-sensitive data applications. WMM sets different wait
times for the four categories in order to provide priority network access for applications that are less
tolerant of packet delays.
Security Mode – Sets the security mode for your router. Can be set to OPEN (no security) WEP
(64/128) (Wired Equivalency Privacy – 64/128) (poor security), WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) (Wi-Fi
Protected Access/ Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key – TKIP/AES encryption) (most
compatible), WPA2-PSK (AES) (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key – AES encryption)
(recommended), WPA Enterprise, or WPA2 Enterprise. 802.11n performance is only available in Open
or WPA2 with AES encryption.
Pre-Shared Key - Sets your WPA Pre-Shared Key. This text string is used to generate a unique set of
encryption keys for your network. Enter a text string in this field. The key can be either ASCII (text) or
Hex (hexadecimal). An ASCII text key can be from 8 to 63 characters long. Valid characters are
numbers "0" through "9" and letters "a" through "z", and printable special characters (such as $, !, ?, &,

#, @, and others). A hexadecimal key must be 64 characters long. Valid characters are numbers "0"
through "9" and letters "a" through "f".
Guest Access
Guest access allows access to the Internet through the WAN port, but it limits guests from accessing
the internal network, LAN, and WLAN. The feature is supported both on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
Wireless 2.4 GHz/Wireless 5 GHz:
Guest SSID –
Guest Access Enable – Click this checkbox to enable guest access for your system.
Wireless Network Name (SSID) – Enter a user friendly name to identify the guest wireless network. This
name is also referred to as the Service Set Identifier (SSID). The name can be up to 32 characters long.
Security mode – Sets the security mode for your router. Available options are WPA/WPA2-PSK or
Open.
Pre-Shared Key – Sets your WPA Pre-Shared Key. This text string is used to generate a unique set of
encryption keys for your network. Enter a text string in this field. The key can be either ASCII (text) or
Hex (Hexadecimal). An ASCII text key can be from 8 to 63 characters long. Valid characters are
numbers ‘0’ through ‘9’ and letters ‘a’ through ‘z’ as well as most other characters. A hexadecimal key
must be 64 characters long. Valid characters are numbers ‘0’ through ‘9’ and letters ‘a’ through ‘f’.

Advanced
The Advanced Settings page is used to set up the router’s advanced wireless functions. These settings
should only be adjusted by an expert administrator since incorrect settings can reduce wireless
performance. For changes to take effect, you must click the Apply button.
Wireless 2.4 GHz/Wireless 5 GHz:
Note: These older 802.11b devices required the unit to add overhead to most transmissions. Performance
will increase if no 802.11b devices are present and this feature is disabled (OFF). The unit will auto detect
802.11b devices and set the feature accordingly when the BG protection checkbox is checked (AUTO).
Beacon Interval – Sets the time interval between beacon transmissions in milliseconds. The router
uses these transmissions to synchronize the wireless network and its client devices. For compliance
with most client devices, the Beacon Interval should remain set at the default of 100ms. The allowable
setting range is from 20 to 1024ms.
DTM Interval – Sets the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval. The DTIM Interval informs
the wireless client devices of the next available window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages. When the router sends a DTIM beacon the client devices hear the beacon and then listen
for the messages. For compliance with most client devices, the DTIM Interval should be left at 1 ms.
The allowable setting range is from 1 to 255 ms.
RTS Threshold – Sets the packet size limit. When the threshold is passed, the ready to send/clear to
send (RTS/CTS) function is invoked. The default setting is 2347 bytes. The allowable setting range is
from 1 to 2347 bytes.
365-095-27433 x.1
SBR-AC1750 Wireless Router User Guide 56

Fragment Threshold – Sets the fragmentation threshold. This threshold should be set to equal the
maximum Ethernet frame size allowable on the link including overhead. Setting a lower threshold can
damage data throughput since large frames could be fragmented and/or collisions could occur. The
default setting is 2346. The allowable setting range is from 256 to 2346 bytes.
Guard Interval – The spacing between transmission of symbols in nanoseconds. Can be set to AUTO,
400ns or 800ns. The default is AUTO. Selecting 400ns provides higher throughput in networks where
the coverage distance is small (indoors). Selecting 800ns provides higher throughput in networks
where the coverage distance is large (outdoors).
