SB8200 Password Reset

I don’t have the admin password for my SB8200. I tried “password” and the last eight digits of the serial number, both upper and lowercase. I tried the 10 second reset, and could still not get in so I tried holding reset for 30 seconds and neither admin/password or admin/(serial last 8) works. Is there a more effective reset procedure? Is there any other possible default password?

Who do I contact for warranty repairs to my Arris Surfboard SB8200?

I purchased an Arris Surfboard SB8200 back in January this year and it just kicked the bucket a couple days ago. Everything was running normally, but suddenly I lost WiFi and I noticed that the Surfboard didn't have any lights up. I unplugged the unit and it was very hot to the touch. Clearly, the hardware has failed. I took the unit back to the Best-Buy I bought it from, but since I didn't buy the protection plan, they told me there was nothing they could do. They let me know that I need to contact the manufacturer and ask about their warranty. Apparently there is a one-year warranty, and I should be eligible since the unit didn't even last a full six months. I went to the URL on the bottom of the device, www.arris/consumer, but this seems to now re-direct to a website for the company CommScope. I made an account there and tried to submit an RMA request (no clue if I am in the right area of the website), but it requires me to select an address, none of which I am located at. Then it a

Arris CM8200a Modem Web Manager Not Found

Where and how can web interface be accessed? Upon logging in to the modem IP address, you can see other things except the web manager. The Arris website routes to Commscope and Commscope chat agent says go to Surfboard and disconnected.

SB8200v3 Suddenlink/Optimum footprint compatibility.

We decided to up-grade our service recently yesterday and purchased a new SB8200 from Amazon(shipped and sold from Amazon). In the add it clearly shows compatible with Altice optimum/ Altice Suddenlink. Very shortly after ordering I became aware after reading several post on reddit and other places that there is an issue with the V3 connecting on optimums networks that were previously Suddenlink, as is our area. However from what i also read is it was kind of a game of chance which version you get shipped from Amazon so we let he item ship and hoped for the best. It arrived today and unfortunately it is the V3 model. I know contacting amazon and trying to explain that i need a v1 or v2 would be an exercise in futility with my only option being return for a refund. However there was a sale going on and we were able to get it for $138 including tax which is a steep discount. I am curious if I reach out to Arris support regarding the version issue they might be able to help with a replace

SB8200 blue receive light not on

For the last couple weeks, the top blue / download light is not lit...internet has been working fine. Sometimes the 2nd blue / send light is lit, sometime it is not...ISP says everything looks normal on their end (strong signal sent / received etc.) I have tried rebooting and same thing. Could the top blue light just be burnt out? Only had this for about a year...

SB8200 led flash once

Hi, My fairly new (still under warranty) SB8200 won’t work. When I apply power the power light turns on solid green for about 10sec then the upstream and downstream lights illuminate for <1sec then all three lights turn off for about 2-3sec. Then the green power light comes on and the process starts again. At no point (even if I leave it connected to power etc) does the blue connection search light start finding a signal. The modem never establishes a connection and otherwise doesn’t work. I tried to reset it (10 sec pushing the button) and that doesn’t bring it back to life. While I have the reset button depressed the lights don’t flash but they go right back to the cycle described above after releasing the reset button. does this mean the modem is dead and needs to be replaced? thanks, Kyle

new(??) shipped in bag?

I recently purchased an SB8200 off amazon Arris store. It arrived today in an amazon box but the product was in a clear plastic bag. Is this how these are typically shipped? I've never received equipment like this and it just feels 'off''. Wanted to check if anyone else has received a unit like this. Even the product photos show the product box. Thanks

Slow speed internet connection on sb8200

Hey, the modem keeps blinking orange and settings say 100mbps. If I reset it, it will blink green and say 1000mbps for a little while, but then eventually drop again. The cat 6 ethernet is fine. Xfinity says everything is good on their end. The modem is four years old, do you think it's starting to go?

Issues with Xbox Network SB8200

I have an Xbox Series X and recently decided to hard wire from my SB8200 to the Xbox. Now it says it can’t connect to DHCP server. I have tried both ports on the modem, I even factory reset my network and still nothing. The Wifi works fine but for some reason the hard wire from the Xbox to modem won’t. What can I do to solve this?

SB8200 - trying to add extender due to poor signal

i am trying to add a Verizon network extender to my home due to poor cell signal. It was connected to my modem and will not initialize due to a “LAN/firewall” issue. I called Verizon, I called my ISP and was advised to check my firewall settings in my modem. I have no idea how to do this and what to do if I could find the firewall settings. Any assitance would be appreciated.

SB8200 How to tell if you hve a v2 or v3

How do you tell if you have a SB8200 v2 Or V3? This does not work You can determine if your Arris SB8200 is a V2 or V3 model by checking the tenth digit of the serial number located on the bottom label of the modem, or by looking at the backplate color and ethernet port color. Visual Method: V3: The backplate will be grey with orange ethernet ports. V2: The backplate will have green, blue, blue, and then red-ish color with silver ethernet ports. Mine does not show any of this. The tenth digit is a 6 not 2 or 3 Serial Number {edit : personal information} So I guess mine is 1 generation Visual Its not RED its PINK

Sb8200 Died, RMA request?

To preface I’ve only ever owned an Arris as far as I can remember and actively choose to buy them. Today I was in my living room browsing on my phone and lost internet which I attributed to Optimum because they are awful. I tried power cycling to no avail but notice when I do the lights all turn on simultaneously and stay on? I cannot reset it or cannot tell if anything happens. It won’t let me connect to the internet hard wired or through a router. I went through trouble shooting with Optimum and they saw no errors on their end. I tried a separate modem and 2 routers and they both can reach internet. I have no choice but to believe some reason this router died. Purchased from Best Buy in NY 11/29/23, I believe it’s under warranty but I no longer have the receipt. How should I proceed?
