SB6190

Sb6190 internet and power lights are white

I just started to have issues with zoom connectivity being choppy.I restarted by Sb6190 and realized the online and power lights show green upon starting up to boot, however once everything is booted and online the lights are white. Is that normal now? I seem to be connected to internet and my ISP doesn’t see anything wrong.

sb8200 wont power up

MY SB8200 will not power up the front lights when plugged in. The Modem was working, and then stopped after a storm. the cable tech said the modem was inoperative and installed a replacement modem. I am looking to get the SB8200 replaced under warranty and the ruckus website says the S/N does not exist, but it exists on the arris website.How do I get a replacement modem under warranty?Thanks!

SB8200 - Successful Set-Up but No Internet...

I just purchased the SB8200 modem for my work computer. Installation & activation through Xfinity seemed to go well. All lights on the modem are doing what they should, & my computer indicates that I’m connected to the internet, but I can’t access anything on the internet…. I called ARRIS tech support, but no help…Any ideas for a simple solution before I return this thing??Thanks!

SBG7400AC2

SBG 7400 AC2 Public Static IP setup

I recently purchased an SBG7400AC2 Modem for a Public Static IP. It was one of 4 modems approved by my Cable Provider when purchasing a static IP.I was given a gateway IP, Netmask, Device IP, and DNS servers.I was told by the cable company that I do not change the WAN settings and to leave it on DHCP. I thought this was odd because I thought the Static IP was on the WAN side, but anyway, When I try to set up a network using the provided public IP, I get an error message saying it was not a private IP address range, and I needed to use 172., 192., 10., etc… Am I receiving bad information from the Cable company or is there something else I need to do?My goal is to set my Unifi Dream Machine Pro to the Public IP address provided. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of. I even put the static info on the UDM-Pro and set the modem to bridge mode, but no luck. Thanks in advance!

Data transfer rate of Surfboard SBG6580

I am not getting the data transfer rate of 300 Mbps that Spectrum says I’m supposed to get and they say it is because the modem. According to your website, the Surfboard SBG6580 cable modem has a maximum data transfer rate of up to 343 Mbps down. Saying up to 343 Mbps means anything above 0 to 343 Mbps! In some data transfer rate test tests in the past, I have gotten around 235-to around 258 Mbps down. Just a little while ago, it was only 153.1 Mbps down. Another issue is the lack of Technical Support for the product by the company! It seems Support is getting worse generally for things. In the past I have been able to call and speak to a person. Can’t it be done now?

G34 wifi disappears; wired cat cable still works

A month or so ago my G34 started getting flaky, and now it doesn’t last more than a day or so.After a while, all wifi channels simply disappear from all of my devices (two Macs, an iPhone, an Android tablet, an Amazon Kindle). Those devices call all still see other wifi access points, including xfinity’s semi-public ones.Meanwhile, my desktop Mac is also connected directly via a cat6 cable, and is still working great.Restarting the Gateway restores all access; but only restarting the “Wi-Fi Module” doesn’t help.I can’t see any place to see if my device needs a firmware update or something — is current information hidden somewhere in the 192.168.0.1 management panel?

SB8200

unable to activate the modem by internet servicer provider sb8200

Just bought a used SB8200 on eBay from a reputable seller. I tried to provision it with my Wow ISP via a phone conversation. The rep said that there is an error “equipment must be in a special status to add it”. She said it was locked. I did a factory reset. Connected it directly to a laptop without internet and logged into the modem. I was able to change the default password to a new one. Tried to provision again by swapping it with my old SB6183 and calling the ISP. Same error. While trying to provision, I can access the modem web page through my router but the username and password doesn’t work. As soon as I take it off the cable and router and connect to my laptop directly, the username and password I created works. When putting my system back to the SB6183, they had to re-provision it to make it work (proving they removed that modem while trying to provision the SB8200).We have verified the MAC address multiple times. Is there anything I can do on my end or tell Wow what
