What You Should Know

The SBG6700-AC is a combination wireless cable modem and
router that uses DOCSIS 3.0 technology to provide wireless
high-speed Internet access to the wireless devices on your
home network. The SBG6700-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 the SBG6700-AC
gateway and set up a secure wireless network connection.
To take advantage of the 802.11ac wireless performance or
beamforming capabilities, your wireless connected devices
must also support 802.11ac. For optimal performance with
802.11ac, you should connect any wireless devices using
older protocols to the 2.4 GHz wireless network (not the
802.11ac 5 GHz network).
To customize your wireless network connection and
other advanced gateway settings, see the SURFboard
SBG6700‑AC User Guide for more information. It is available
online at the ARRIS Support website:
www.arrisi.com/consumer.
FAQs and additional product documentation are also available
on the support website.
IMPORTANT! During the installation or gateway
activation, you may need to contact your service provider
for assistance. To save time, make sure you have the
Gateway model number (SBG6700-AC), HFC MAC ID, and
Serial Number (S/N) located on the gateway label on the
bottom of your SBG6700-AC gateway.
