SB8200 docsis 3.1

i have had 2 SB8200’s and neither one would ever show docsis 3.1 and with several phone calls and house visits from techs they said nothing was wrong on their end but as soon as they hooked up “their Modem” it instantly showed docsis 3.1 with the blue lights… could i really have 2 bad 8200’s or is that their way of getting me to rent their equipment?

sb8200 compatibale with xfinity

So I just got an Sb8200. Apparently Xfinity is telling me it’s not compatible even though on their website it says it supports it. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

slow speeds

I have a SB8200 with a net gear router. I am experiencing very slow speeds with my Xfinity account. I have a 500mbps account. Xfinity says there is no problem coming in to the house. I was wondering how I could tell if it was my modem on my router that is only giving me about 10 MBPS?

SB8200 power light turns off every 10 seconds

My SB8200 power light turns off every 10 seconds and when it turns off the upload link light turns on for one second. This then repeats endlessly. I've tried hiding thr factory reset button for more than 10 seconds and nothing happens.  I've called my ISP and they can't ping the modem. I've tried unplugging the coaxial, moving it to a different outlet, unplugging the ethernet and nothing seems to change it.I've had the modem for 1.5 years and it's only happened one other time but the ISP was able to fix on the call.Any thoughts here?

Recommendations for a switch for SB8200

I have Cox for Internet. Cox support told me to use a switch (not a router) to connect two computers to the modem. It seems like a simple thing to do, and I want to be sure to get a compatible switch. Any recommendations for a switch?I'm also considering having a Cox technician come to my house to do the setup in case there are things I don't know that need to be done -- currently have their Panoramic modem/router. Is that a good idea?

SB8200 configuration on slow speed

I’ve been using an SB8200 for several years. I seem to recall a setting specifying the expected speed from the ISP. Comcast recently increased their speed but it seems I’m locked to the previous value (using Speedtest). How do I reset that setting (or am I remembering incorrectly)?

Arris surfboard SB8200 warranty - experiencing intermittent internet connection

Bought Arris Surfboard cable modem SB8200 from Amazon February of 2024. Needed a higher end modem to support the speed and devices we currently run. After installation just recently December 2024, we experienced extreme lagging in our web browsing and gaming. Also, the app to Install is out of date. Only older versions of Android can install it. We hooked up our previous netgear modem again, since it wasn't giving us as much issue as this newer Arris cable modem. I would like to know what the warranty will cover since it is practically never been used and we are not satisfied with the product?

SB8200 - Docsis 3.0 to Docsis 3.1

My SB8200 will not connect to docsis 3.1. I have a spectrum gig plan. Spectrum tells me my plan is docsis 3.1but my modem is stuck in docsis 3.0. I don’t see an option how to change the setting in the management page. spectrum is no help and tells me to contact the manufacturer. Any help would be greatly appreciated Also I cannot access the management page while the modem is connected to the net. I can disconnect from the net and access the page.

SB8200 faults out once or twice a year and can't access internet while connecting router

I have a SB8200 modem and for no reason at all it drops our internet connection and I have to call for a paid service to walk me through the issue to correct it.  Have my computer connected to the modem and it says everything is working fine but the indicator lights are: power - solid green, Receive - solid blue, Send - solid green and online solid green.  I can access the internet when connected to the modem but my nighthawk router will not connect.  I have logged into the modem manager but don’t see anything out of line there either.  Any ideas on why I need to call for assistance one or twice a year to adjust my settings to allow it to work again? Wifi - Netgear Nighthawk X6S, AC4000 Tri-band, model - R8000P

New SB8200 all green lights

So, yesterday I purchased a new SB8200 and had Cox activate it. However, while it works all the lights are Green, shouldn’t two of them in the middle be Blue? I’m 80 and not that tech savvy.

SB8200 Not Allowing me to connect multiple items via ethernet

Hello, I have a small mesh wifi network comprised of two W12’s (one of which is operating as router connected to the SB8200 via ethernet) and the other which acts a node. My GF just recently got a stay at home job which she got a desktop for and it needs to be connected via ethernet.  When I went to connect the ethernet into the other port initially it wouldn't connect to the desktop. So I rebooted the system to which the ethernet worked but the router wouldn't connect. After hours of trouble shooting I found myself here.  Any recommendation as to how I can hard wire a device to my modem while still allowing my wifi to work?

GUI web portal doesn't work on SB8200

The manual instructs me to open a browser & enter an IP address to log in to change the name / password for the modem.  When I do so, I get an error message saying the site can’t be reached.  I’ve tried on 3 different browsers and I get the same error message.  I have the SB8300.

sb8200 modem reboots randomly several times a day

I have an sb8200, and it reboots randomly several times a day. The cable company says everything looks good on their side. Is this a sign of a bad modem? I checked all the connections and reset the modem to factory settings,  but even after doing that, it still reboots, kicking us off all our streaming devices.
