You can use your high-speed, upgradeable cable modem to connect one or more
computers in your home or business to the Internet. You can connect:

A single computer equipped with an
adapter directly to the Ethernet port on
the SB5102 cable modem

Easier!
Unlike dial-up modems or ISDN, you’re always on,
always connected.
Faster!
Your cable modem is up to 100 times faster than a
dial-up modem. It lets you enjoy surfing the Web
without the long wait. Because many network and
other factors can affect performance, the actual
speed will vary.
Better!
Your cable modem is made by the company with
over 50 years of cable TV expertise.
