Any computing device flaunting Windows 10, Windows 8, 8.1, or the Windows 7 SP1 can run the Arris SURFboard SBG8300 and allow you to access the router functionality via the desktop app. In case you are planning to use the same on a MacBook or Linux-powered computer, macOS Catalina or anything equal to or higher than 10.4 is supported, followed by UNIX and LINUX platforms.
