What does the Standby button do?
The “Standby” button shuts down the front panel LEDs and disconnects communication between the cable modem and the computer(s) connected through the cable modem, while remaining active on the cable operator’s RF network. This provides a means of security to the user by “disconnecting” them from the Internet when they are not using it. SURFboard cable modems have an extra “Standby” LED that illuminates when “Standby” is engaged.
