SBG6782-AC

Wireless Cable Modem Gateway

The SBG6782-AC is a combination wireless 

cable modem and router that provides wireless 

high-speed Internet access and MoCA 

networking to the SMART (Ethernet-enabled) 

devices in your home. The SBG6782-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 

SBG6782-AC Wireless 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 

configurations and other advanced gateway 

settings, see the 

SBG6782-AC User Guide

 which 

is available online at the Motorola Support 

website, 

www.motorola.com/us/support

FAQs and additional product documentation are 

also available.
