max w130 mesh - app gives conflicting instructions

I just got a w130 surfboard max plus system. I’ve been around computers over 25 years so I’m not a complete noob. I have to say the app leaves a lot to be desired.I have a Netgear CM1000v2 cable modem (not WiFi). The app at one point tells me to connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the w130. I may be assuming a lot but the only Ethernet it could be is the output from the Netgear modem. That is the same cable that connected the modem to the router I’m trying to replace. Then on the next page it asks for the WiFi login. It will not under any circumstances let me use the wired connection even though it just instructed me to do it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

will surfboard app work with Androind 14 on W31

I have a Promax W31 router that is connected to a S33 modem. Surfboard as set up on an old android device. Today I rebooted the router and that caused a major issue. I've confirmed the modem and internet work fine.  After having to reboot the Promax w31 router, I could not get the app to recognize the router. I tried all of the tips including unplugging and plugging in the modem, the router; and uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I was informed that due to a batch update of Android 14 and 15, the app will not recognize the router. I was told there was not a workaround. Has anyone with Android 14 or 15 figured out how to get the app out of the loop and to actually recognize the router?

W30 mAX - No internet

I brought this from Amazon originally, I was never able to get the device past the Bluetooth connecting stage of setup..(the very first thing after plugging it in) we called the help line and spent over an hour on the phone with a Arris tech. They couldn't fix it, so they had us return ours and they would send us new ones. We are having the same issue with the new ones... we have done everything we found online and nothing is working.

W31 satellite Disconnected. Adding Failed After Factory Reset

After a year of using the W31 mesh, all a sudden, the satellite led turned red. I did a power cycle, the satellite turned back on, but couldn't connect to the main router.Then I did a factory reset on the satellite (holding reset button for 10 seconds). When it came back, I tried to add the satellite, its stuck on the "Connecting to your Satellite" screen. No matter how many times I tried (even reinstalling the app), the app can't find the satellite. Help.

Unable to log in to app

I have a W130 that is all working fine from a netwrok point of view, but when I try to go into the android (v13) app (v 4.3.4) it was asking me to go through the setup procedure again (tried on two android devices, Phone and tablet) but would loop after the model was selected, and it was searching for the device. (I am sitting next to the main AX7800)I cleared out the cache for the surfboard max app on teh phone, and then it asked me to login with my email.. it sent me the verification code, which I typed in, and then the app loops on that screen.. (been waiting 10 mins on that screen)When I kill that and go back into the app, I get “1 validation error detected at ‘proposedPassword” failed to satisfy constraint:Member must satisfy regular expression pattern: ^[\s]+.*[\s]+$” when I try to sign in again.I then uninstalled the app, and reinstalled it, but I get the same looping on the verification screen (It says code verified at the top, but loops when I say next)Is there an alternate wa

Access the W133 Router

Does the W133 router have a browser interface? If so how to access? Or am I limited to the phone app?

mAX Plus Mesh Wi-Fi® 6 Router (model W30 AX7800) - only compatible with 500Mbps Internet? Bridgemode?

There seems to be conflicting messages on the box / tech specs. For example, specs say Download Speeds:  (Wi-Fi 6) speeds up to 7.8 Gbps , yet the box says “perfect for 500 Mbps speed internet plans”. Do i need to get 500Mbps plan or will 2 of these work for a 1000Mbps plan ?  I prefer to get the 1000Mbps plan, use the xFinity Gateway and use BridgeMode with these 2 Arris routers. Thanks all!

How to assign static IP on W30?

Is there a way to do this that I’m missing?My current setup is Xfinity gateway (modem, wifi turned off) → Surfboard W30 (primary router) → Surfboard W30 (satellite) → Roku (hardwired, device I want a static IP for)I have the Surfboard Central app installed on my phone and although I can see all the devices on my network and their IPs I don’t see any controls.I’ve tried connecting through my PC’s internet browser in various ways (all result in “unable to connect” errors):Using the router’s IP address (192.168.7.1 per IPconfig) and variations (192.168.7.0, 192.168.1.1, 192.168.100.1, etc) Both hardwired to the primary router and through wifi With and without the modem connected, including after unplugging the modem from router and restarting routerI cannot find a way to connect through a web portal, but also can’t find any controls for individual devices in the app. I must be missing something.

SURFboard mAX W130 Error code:0014-1202

My SURFboard mAX W130 has been working for over a year. The power went out for a few minutes and now none of my devices can see the network. Modem is on and the device has the blue ring (cable is working) but the network name, nor any factory reset name shows as available on phones or laptops. Using the app, I get Error Code:0014-1202, can’t find out how to get it to work. Any ideas?

Bluetooth connection failure on W31

I have this same error when trying to install a W31 satellite at my moms house . Yes, I used her cell phone with the app.. Had no issues when installing a W31 satellite in my home using the app on my cell phone. I have reset the W31 satellite unit several times by pressing reset button for 15 seconds. I have also confirmed bluetooth on her phone has paired with the W31. But, everytime I go through installation I get the “Bluetooth Connection Failed” error message every time as per image above. I have been through this process about 10 times with the same result. Also, light on the W31 is flashing amber, green, and  blue. Eventually, the W31 would not even go through the forst part of the install. Seems like a broken W31 to. me. Any suggestions short of returning the W31 to seller?

W31 remote management

Should I be able to change port  forwarding and such from out side my LAN.  It says I’m connected, can go in and edit items, but when I save them it’s not updating them.   And why oh why can I no just connect to a web page to be able to manage my router like 99.9% of every other router out there?

Cannot login to Surfboard Central App

OK - I have a very old house with wire mesh and plaster. It’s effectively a giant Faraday cage. This being the case, I set up two separate mesh systems (W33), using different email addresses. Naturally they must be child networks managed by an upstream router. Once I log out of one system, I can no longer log back in, even if I am connected to the proper Wi-Fi system. I get the message “ If you have already installed the mAX router, please connect your mobile device to the local Wi-Fi network.”  Error Code 0015-1805. I am not asked for a userID or password. There is nothing to be done. The “Try Again” function just cycles the same message and error.  Any advice?

New router not working in W31

I don’ know if I got duped or if I’m incredibly unlucky, but my new W31 router does not work.  -Upon opening it yesterday, i noticed it had scuff marks already on it despite it being new. -After getting everything hooked up, and contacting Spectrum, my modem is online and working (solid blue light). -The router, however, gave me fighting vibes for nearly 4 HOURS of me working with the app that kept giving me ‘failed to connect’ notices, swapping cables, unplugging/replugging, reseting, etc. -Finally got it to not flash red/white, or to just stay on solid white (the ‘successful bootup light, but it would stay lit for 30minutes+) after all that, and this morning its back to a solid red light, no matter how many times ive reset or unplugged everything. Am i just doing something wrong? Anyone else have these issues? Ive used 4 different ethernet cables and plugged them all into the different WAN plugs (which flash green at the plug so i assume thats working)

I bought the two towers mesh. But one is not working beyond the bluetooth. Is failing during internet connection step.  I reset it many times and still not working. May I return it to ARRIS?

Arris W31 wifi mesh router will not restart.

Recently the W31 Arris router stopped working entirely and now flickers white/amber/blue repeatedly in that order. I cannot reset it as it just does this again. I cannot remove it over the app to try to reinstall. There is no way to solve this from my current knowledge as all online fixes have been tested to fail. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix a router that simply stopped working (1 year old) and is just flickering all LED colors repeatedly? Full current setup:Arris Surfboard SB8200 Arris W31 mesh wifi router
