SB6183 Intermittent connection

My internet drops out intermittently (usually for a few seconds at a time, but VERY often). I’ve power-cycled both router and modem. I checked and have the latest firmware upgrade for my router. How can I explore to see if I could be having a problem with my modem? Thanks for your advice!

SB6183/ Modem is not connecting for internet access

I just moved to my apartment...my modem is still not connecting to the router. My service is with cox but the equipment is not (they were bought separately)...I talked to cox already about connection they did their part. I have a TP-LINK ARCHERC59 AC 1350 (ver 2.0) router (it's has 7 lights on the front)...1st 3 lights are soild [power/2nd/internet/{4-7 space ship/ethernet/trident/ wps-no light/not on/not soild }]. I already tried the off/on methods with both equipment (did not work)...my Modem is an ARRIS SB6183...it's was working fine at the old place...I can not access the status page on TP- Link. Can anyone help?

To check Ethernet Connection on SB6183

My SB6183 modem is working and the ISP confirms I have connection from their side but I am getting no indication via lights that the Ethernet connection is working. How can I confirm if the Ethernet port is damaged or not?

403 Forbidden not resolved

I see that others are also getting the 403 forbidden message when trying to connect to the cable modem interface. My modem is the SB 6190. I tried EVERY suggestion listed in this forum, and chatted twice with Arris tech and we went thru all steps, no go. I asked both Arris tech’s do I actually NEED to connect to the interface, and if so why? Security reasons? Both tech’s told me to rest assured that there are NO security issues if the interface can’t be reached and UN / PW can’t be changed. Is this true? Anyone know if this is true? If it’s true, why is there a need at all to connect to the interface? Really a terrible feeling to be locked out of the interface and not knowing if I’m now vulnerable to being hacked. I’m going to get a new cable modem. NOT and Arris.

wifi password

I moved out and used my old router but I do not have to password. If you could send me the password that would be great (Edited private message)

Important to change UN and PW with SB6190?

Hey all. So my new SB6190 is activated and working (Optimum is my provider). I’ve tried what has been suggested in this forum in order to log in with 192.168.100.1, yet haven’t been able to. Question...does it matter? Is it important to get access in order to change UN and PW? Is there a security issue if not? Not too happy with Arris that logging in is an issue. I was going to download the mobile app but I don’t download apps that require access to what’s on my phone. Thanks.

Brightness of LED's SB6190

Hi. Surprising how those little (especially the blue ones) LED’s light up my spare bedroom at night. I’m guessing there’s no way to dim them on the unit itself? There’s no user manual and I’m unable to access the device with that IP address shown in the quick start guide. Sux but looks like I’ll have to block the lights with something.

Exchanging Arris TM822 for SB6190 - Set up

Hi. I’ve spoken with Optimum, and the SB6190 is supported by their service. Before I get started disconnecting the TM822 and connecting the new SB6190, would be great to get some input from experienced people here. I have a Linksys EA7400 wireless router connected and working presently, I’m hoping that it won’t be an issue to connect to the new SB6190. Possibly any videos which might help if/when running into any issues? Thanks very much.

hook up to star link with SB6190

I have Starlink set up in my barn that is approximately 150 ft from my house. I ran a RJ45 cable from the Starlink modem to the house. Will the Arris SB 6190 work to bring the internet to the house? Note there is no coaxial cable just the Ethernet RJ 45 from Starlink to SB 6190

My Sb6190 isnt showing the lights

So every single light is showing blue except the power and online light. The light is kind of white but not on if that makes sense. Everything else is working fine other than the fact I can’t connect to the internet, it’s not even showing up anymore. I’ve tried resetting it and turning it off and back on again but nothing seems to help. What’s wrong with it?

Best Surfboard Modem for Comcast 150mb with multiple computers

I have an office with about 5-7 computers needing access to internet at one time. The speed I am going to be purchasing is the 150mb/100mb and I was looking at the sb6183, but wasn’t sure if there was a better modem for the setup I have. Thanks!

How to get return/refund for the defective modem - SB6190

Purchased this modem 4 months ago and it worked perfectly until “I moved it on the shelf.” Seemed to go into a standby mode - has power but does not receive internet signal or reset when I tried to do that. Called cable company to check it out, tech said it’s a modem problem and recommended I purchase an SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem (which I just did). My question ~ will ARRIS allow me to return it, and refund me for this defective modem? (I sure hope so.) Not having internet, because of this defective modem, has put me in a difficult position as I work two days at the office, and three days from home.
