Yes. I work with these modems everyday. The biggest problem wireless users have is that the router and modem stop talking through the ethernet cable. NOT YOUR ISP'S FAULT in most cases. You need to powercycle the modem/router. First, unplug the power to the modem and the router. DO NOT UNPLUG THE ETHERNET CABLE. Now plug in the modem but leave the router unplugged. The modem will now go onto the system and get an ip address. Wait till the modem is completely online. then plug in your router. If it is setup correctly it will go to the modem and find its ip address . you should then be able to log into your router. You will still need to set it up to static or dynamic (DHCP) ip and get your wep or wpa security encription set up. We deal with this everyday at Comcast. We offer full support to our Home Network subscribers using our routers. People get mad when we cannot fix their third party routers but to be honest, nobody can learn all the brands and their software. In addition, fixing any third party equipment is a huge liability we shouldn't be expected take. Be well

I have a 4100. Can it be used wireless?

This modem that you have don;t have a wireless capability, but if you like to have a wireless network using this modem you need to get a wireless router that will be connected to the modem and the wireless router will be the one that is going to be transmitting the wireless signal for your wireless computers.

You can go and get a wireless broadband router from this manufacturer Linksys, Netgear , Belkin and Dlink , they make a good wireless router that can be use with your modem.

My router is suddenly not working. The internet, modem, router and the wired lights are on, but the wireless and security lights aren't on and I can't connect from my laptop wirelessly.

check the wireless settings of the router.
Open the set up page of the router and make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled.
If enabled then try to change the wireless channel of the router.
if that doesn't work then try to upgrade the firmware of the router.

If I have a wireless router do I still need a modem?

It is depend on which type of connection cable your internet service provider.
You don't need modem if in your router ADSL port and your ISP gives you ADSL but if on wi fi router there not dsl port and your ISP gives you dsl cable then you need modem.

Let me know if you need more assistanse.
Thanks.

2wire modem power light red

Its Due to AC adapter capacitors. Capators dry out after certain usage that cause unfiltered output of DC. Add about 2 or 3 pieces of 1000uF capacitor on DC way issue will be resolved. Or simple change the capacitors in AC adapter or change the AC adapter to new one.

Wireless password

SURFboard SB4220 Modem is not a wireless modem/router, therefore, it doesn't have a password for wireless connection.

If you're using a wireless router, then that is where the password for the wireless connection is configured. You will need to open the router's setup page to verify the wireless security.

The router is the one connected to the modem. Usually, it has antennas.

To help you further, what is the brand and model number of your router, if you have any.

Cable internet setup

No, you need to buy a wireless router and connect wireless router to cable modem. Non cable modems do not work on cabled wireless network.
If you buy cable router, buy either a router with no modem integrated or a modem/router for cable network, this last one may be best option, but it needs to be configured. Ask to retailer which models are ok with your broadband provider.
