Quick Start Guide

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.
