DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON ARRIS PREMIUM SUPPORT $89.99 for 6 Months

I purchased Arris’ Premium Support! Useless, calls routed to India with ? technicians some who speak NO ENGLISH!Techs could care less about your issues, problems or concerns. Made 2 calls for support, 1st call lasted 8 hours and 2nd call for 4 hours.At advise of the technicians, modem settings screwed up, devices that were connecting no longer connected! Techs request to call you back and never do.Far from a Premium Service!Will not be using their support number again. Have requested a refund for a useless non-existing service, So LONG ARRIS

Xfinity Next Gen devices added

I feel like this should have been in the news section but xfinity added a bunch more Arris devices to the next gen list. These include: G20G34G36G54S34 See the whole list here: https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2024.08.14%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.pdf

s33 Power Supply Faulty

Have you had to replace your power supply (12V 1.5A 5.5mm with 2.5mm + (pos) middle with -(neg) outside plug) for your S33 Modem?  Thumbs up is a yes.I bought an S33 Surfboard modem on 4/8/2023. On 8/3/2024 it stopped working. Reviewing the community blog it became apparent that the power supply was the likely cause. I replaced the power supply at my own expense and the S33 started working again.

Arris Surfboard AC 1600 and an external hard drive to my Macbook.

The title says it all. I no longer use Time Machine with my MacBook Air M2. I recently purchase the Arris  Surfboard AC1600. I have attached my external hard drive to the Surfboard but cannot locate it to sync with my MacBook. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why doesn't Arris provide real support?/Why is this forum mostly useless?

Although I applaud the person that originated the idea of outsourcing the support dept to unpaid customers, that was truly innovative.  Now, of course everyone does it.  In the old days no one would have the audacity to expect paying customers to have to provide their own support. Especially with known problems like the chances of someone knowing more than you could be as low as 1:1000 (admittedly in my case it’s more like 1:8)  But that’s assuming anyone actually answers your question.I’ve had 2 questions up for almost a month.  I got one reply each, right away.  The first person either didn’t really read my question, or maybe I phrased it incorrectly.  But I tried to answer their followup questions and restate my original question better, but never got the followup reply.The second person asked a simple followup question which I answered but also never got 2nd reply.I don’t blame the customers.  It’s not their job to answer my questions.But it should be somebody’s job.
