Stupidly simple and gets the job done

Okay, we reviewed a Motorola Gateway in the past, and the pros did outweigh the cons. However, the cons remained. Now they've removed nearly almost all the disadvantages with the Motorola SURFboard Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.

The original Gateway basically helped with the wireless features, but customers still needed a modem to connect a computer via a LAN line. The SURFboard Wireless Cable Modem Gateway is long because while doesn't look like it, it does a lot. Confusing isn't it?

It has a LAN port in the back to connect one hard-wired computer directly or a series of computers via a router. The wireless feature and the modem feature go to work immediately, and since it's 802.11g, it's five times faster than regular modems. It also has a built in firewall, but really, it's stupidly simple. So in summary, the Motorola SURFboard is stupidly simple and gets the job done quite easily.
