Unable to connect wireless security camera

Recently switched ISP’s, and got new ARRIS modem router.  Have two outdoor security cameras - both SimpliSafe and wireless.Switched ID and password of router to new ones.  Was able to connect one security camera.  Was not asked for password.  Tried connecting other security camera, got asked for password, entered it, and got response that password not correct.  Really strange.

I’ve been charged for not sending in my return, but the unit is still in route and should be delivered tomorrow.  The tracking number is below.  Since I shipped the unit well within the required timeframe and cannot control how long the shipping takes, I expect to receive refund of the money I was charged once the unit arrives - please confirm. Tracking info UPS:1ZHF78959020578454

No customer support on Saturday!

“Chat hours: Monday – Saturday from 7 AM – 7 PM Pacific Time”this is on their customer support page, right now it’s 8 am on Saturday, but the chat is unavailable! Also, they don’t list their phone number on their website (basic information for a legit company, why you hide it?), I had to google to find the number, needless to say, no one was working, and the voice message kept telling me “our chat support is available from Monday to Saturday! It’s a big lie!

Compatability of SB 6120 and BGW 210

I have a BGW 210 with AT&T. Will it be compatible if used in place of a SB 6120 for Spectrum?

Arris Order, Sales, and "Customer" support has become a joke

I too received no confirmtion of order or tracking, nothing, zilch. Order support links all deadends except being routed to the Community where there is no order, or sales help of any use other than opinions and runarounds.A few days after the order I was emailed to comment on my new modem (that I hadn’t received) using the s/n which I hadn’t received. After a week and a day the modem showed up unannounced.This Community directs to Arris Customer Support which directs to come back to the Community, so a never-ending loop (hint: MODERATORS, check out the links you are providing!).Some Arris Customer Support links redirect to https://www.commscope.com/ and then you’re really off the rails and get no help, at least I didn’t.Tech support apparently works, but you have to have a s/n which you don’t have. I essentially tricked Tech support system to be able to talk to someone and convince them to look at my order, the best they could tell me was my order must be messed up. Not helpful, but t

I can no longer restart SB6141 modem from configuration page!

On the configuration page there used to be a button “Restart Cable Modem”. This button has disappeared. Who changed the firmware and how can I get the button back?(My ISP denies that they have changed the firmware on the modem that I own)EDIT: When I remove the coax cable and restart the modem, the reset and restart buttons are there! However, as soon as I put back the cable the buttons disappears 🙄.How can I keep the buttons with the coax cable connected?Several years ago, the buttons were there even with the cable connected..

Why aren't you making modems with fans in them?

Your modems, and pretty much every other modem on the planet are designed with no fans. As a result when you get above a very moderate speed of 20MB per second your modems start to overheat and then crash once they reach around 100 degrees. Extremely preventable problems if you would just install a fan, but for some odd reason no manufacturer does. And as a result every single modem from every company has this issue. Just install a fan, and it will fix it.

Workaround: Accessing the Cable Modem Status PageF.A.Q.

In most cases, the modem’s Status page can be accessed by browsing to the modem’s address 192.168.100.1 from a client connected to the Wi-Fi router or connected to the cable modem. If you’re unable to get to the modem’s login screen, the workaround is to manually assign IP addresses in the device (Wi-Fi router or PC) that is directly connected to the modem.  NOTE: The workaround requires knowledge of assigning IP addresses to the PC or Wi-Fi router.  Refer to the user manual for instructions. Wi-Fi Client OnlyIf you only have a Wi-Fi client, the only workaround is to change the Wi-Fi router’s WAN IP address.      Log in to your Wi-Fi router’s settings page and navigate to the WAN or Internet settings.  Set the WAN IP address to Static and enter the following network addresses. IP Address: 192.168.100.200 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway or Router: 192.168.100.1 DNS addresses are not needed to access the modem’s status page Save the WAN settings. Browse to 192.168.100.1 with th

Device Activation

I have my device all set up and I double checked with my service provider that the Internet would connect to the modem. As far as my service provider goes, I have an access to the Internet from their end. They said the Internet is activated and everything should be fine. However, I still can’t connect to the Internet and my lights on the modem are flashing blue. I set up the device using the mobile app and everything should be working yet. It is not. I tried calling customer service, but they’re only available during the weekday. At the bottom of the instructions for installation, it says that I need to use an ethernet cable and connect it to a computer. My computer does not have that capabilities nor do I have a gaming system that would allow me to do that. How do I get my Internet to work after I’ve paid for this $50 device?

Iam looking for a modem or a workaround to disable internet access through a CAT cable. Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone,I have a couple of years-old Netgear router and a modem supplied by Comcast. I also have a teenage son who just can’t seem to learn when enough online gaming is enough. He connects directly to the modem via a CAT cable to avoid Wi-Fi lag, which means the options in the Netgear app for shutting off access don't apply since they only control the router.Aside from physically unplugging the modem, I’m looking for a way to remotely disable his access via the CAT cable, or I’m open to getting a new modem that allows for this. Ideally, I’d like a solution that lets me control it from the comfort of my bed. It’s been a long battle, and I’m tired of trying to instill personal responsibility—I'm looking for a switch solution. Any suggestions, especially regarding managing IP addresses and router settings?
