Setup is straightforward. Connect the SBG7600AC2 to your cable outlet and power, then download the free SURFboard Central app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The app walks you through activating service with your provider, naming your WiFi network, and adding devices. Once you are online, the app provides real-time network monitoring, parental controls with time limits and pause options, and guest network management. No calls to your provider required.
