Arris Dual-Band Wireless Coverage
The SBG10's built-in router is a concurrent dual-band WiFi access point that helps extend your wireless network to the furthest reaches of your home. Dual-Band networks specifically target dead-zones and spotty coverage areas and allow you to access your network seamlessly through your whole home. This model features one network at 2.4 GHz and one network at 5 GHz. The 2.4 GHz network is great for the further reaches of your home since it is able to penetrate walls a bit easier. Conversely, the 5 GHz option is much faster than the 2.4 GHz, but does not penetrate walls as easily. As a result, the 5 GHz is best suited for devices like media players, desktop PC's that are centrally located whereas the 2.4 GHz works better for mobile devices and ones located further from your access point.

How to Reset Your Arris SurfBoard SBG10
Resetting your Arris SBG10 is one of the easiest ways to correct almost all common technical issues that you may experience over the life of your modem. It's a super handy tool to have in your troubleshooting repertoire and can save you hours on the phone with your provider. Here's how it's done:
- Plug your modem in to the power supply and wait 2 minutes for it to boot up fully. You'll know it's booted fully when the wireless lights come on.
- Locate the reset button on the back of the modem. It'll be on the same side where all the ports are located. Generally reset buttons on this kind of device will just be a tiny hole that may or may not be labeled.
- You'll need a flattened paperclip or pen cartridge to do this next part. Press down and hold the reset button for 30 seconds with your modem still plugged in. You should feel a small dull click when you press in the reset button with your paperclip.
- Now wait a few minutes for your modem to reset and reboot itself. You'll know it's finished and ready to use when the WiFi lights come back on.
Tip: Still not resetting? Try just holding down for 15 or 20 seconds instead of the full 30. Some firmware versions differ on the number of seconds needed for a reset.
