CNET Review
The Good: Excellent range and bandwidth; DOCSIS 1.0 compliant; wired, wireless, USB, and phone-line access; includes print server; detailed electronic manual.
The Bad: Encryption uses hex keys only; lacks WPA support; vague printed setup guide; skimpy online support.
The Bottom Line: Motorola's SBG1000 has all the right connections to create a flexible, powerful, and reasonably secure network in your home or small business.
