Surfboard Gatewar 6580 Bandwidth, User Account, And Control
Hi. I have a 3500 foot, three story house, and the basement is 75% underground. We have alum siding/roof. Will this modem provide wireless on all floors if it's on the middle floor? Does it accomodate multiple user accounts so I can limit access: For example user 1 unlimited access, user 2 no access from 11p-7a, and user 3 no access from Midnight-7a?

It will not cover the entire house; you'll need boosters or extenders located strategically to get the best overall coverage. Go to page 17-18 for the parental controls setup capabilities. You may also want to read some of these reviews.
