A:AnswerThe wifi signal from this gateway is good. I'd say it's about the same as the Comcast rented gsteway. One thing to note is that this modem will output to different networks. One network will output at 2.4 gigahertz. The other network will output the 5 gigahertz. If you want a strong signal, then use the 2.4 gigahertz network. It's possible that people aren't even aware of this, and they're using the 5 gigahertz (a high possibility since that's what the default network was in my case). As a result of using the 5 gigahertz network, they come here to say that it's weak. It's actually not weak. I find that the signal is perfectly fine. By the way, the reason why the 5 gigahertz is said to be weaker signal (although faster) is because it has a longer wavelength which is harder to penetrate walls and dense objects that may be between you and your equipment.
A:Answerit has hot spot built in,go to your'e comcast account and turn it on .they might asked for more info on wifi box,because its not comcast rental.
A:AnswerHello - the TG1682G does not have an HDMI port. It only has Ethernet (4), Telephony (2) and Coax (1). The SBG10 has Ethernet (2) and Coax (1) so if you need telephone service, the SBG10 will not support that.
A:AnswerNever rely on the manufacturer for anything regarding surge protection. A power outlet with surge protection should be on all your electronic gear. And its relatively inexpensive.
