G36 -blocking scanner

I have just installed a G36 to replace an old Linksys.  Everything is working fine except my vuescan scanning software.  It cannot find my Canon MB5120.  Everything else is the same.  I have a Dell G15 computer running Windows 11. Everything up to date. Everything is the same except the router.  I have other scanner software that finds the scanner and works fine.  The author of the vuescan software says that  the router is blocking access for the software but offered no additional help.  I have a little knowledge and experience with computers but don’t know how to go about fixing this.

G36 Apple Device Workaround

So here’s a bit of weirdness.  Just bought a G36 and everything seemed fine.  I gave the “Primary Home” 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSID’s the same names and passwords as the old modem, so all my devices should all automatically connect without having to select a new network and enter passwords.  Or so I thought.  After a few minutes I realized all my PC’s and Ring devices were connected and sending/receiving data, but none of my Apple devices were.  They showed as connected to the old (same as new) SSID names, but no data.  This was simultaneous with my PC’s and Ring devices sending/receiving data.  I tried forgetting the networks and re-entering passwords on the Apple devices, nothing worked.  Out of desperation, I tried using the two “Guest” SSID’s and all the Apple devices connected with data.  I honestly don’t know or understand why it worked, but it did.  Just thought I’d share.

G34 DDNS Dynamic DNS update issue

September 2024 I ended Dynamic DNS service from dyndns (seemingly no longer working) and set up my G34 DDNS settings correctly with https://freedns.afraid.org/ To confirm it was working, I manually set an incorrect address at freedns.Then I disconnected the G34 coax (simulating a network outage) and reconnected. After some time freedns showed the correct address so the DDNS update that ran after the cable network was restored must have worked.But now, November 2024, Comcast has apparently once again renumbered the network. freedns does not have the new address, but retains the address from September. I can reach a host inside the G34 local network (at a remote location) so I have discovered the newly assigned IP address from Comcast. But freedns does not have it, so DDNS updates are not arriving.Is it possible the November 2023 firmware update which broke port forwarding has minimized DDNS updates in some way?Please tell me how often DDNS updates are sent, after power up?

https not longer available to login to G36

Hello allI installed a G36 a few months ago and when I would use 192.168.0.1 to login into the router I would get a screen saying a secure https connection is being established and I would see https in the URL. Now that screen has disappeared and I cannot manually type in https://192.168.01.I would like to re-enable the https connection. I’m on Xfinity. Any pointers would be appreciated!Thanks

Surboard G34 Constant Amber light

I had sparklight as my provider for a year and the G34 worked perfectly. I recently moved states and had to change my provider to Xfinity and now I can't connect to internet. Since moving into the Apartment, the G34 when I plug it in goes green for 1 second then turns Amber color and stays like that. I have no access to wifi or internet through it. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Problem with surfboard central and privacy settings - G34

Trying to install G34 modem.  IPhone 15 ProMax, IOS 18.2. When at the “Grant access permission..”, I cannot find the App under Location settings to allow access.  I find information under location networks but not to allow access.  There is not an icon on my phone.  I cannot get past this page to install the modem.  The light on the modem is “flashing blue”.  When I attempt to scan the code to download Surfboard Central, it opens the APP bet cannot get past ate allow access page to install the modem.   Any help to install the APP would be of help.

New Surfboard G34 activation frustration

I just bought a surfboard g34 router/wifi gateway because my netgear modem died today after 14 years of faithful service.  RIP I was able to get my surfboard activated with spectrum and my one desktop has internet.  However,  nothing else can get access to the internet through the surfboard.  I was trying to use the app on my phone but it can’t connect to the internet through the router because the wifi network says “connected without internet”.  I tried connecting my extra (home/guest) router to the surfboard via ethernet, and it doesn’t have internet either. But when I try to setup the router further, I open 192.168.0.1 on a browser and it asks for a login.  I haven’t setup my login yet because the app on my phone can’t  complete the setup.  The app cant complete setup because it’s not online through the internet.  Am I taking crazy pills?  Why is only one device able to connect to the internet, and what can I do to complete the setup of my surfboard?

G34 ligth not flashing when internet is out

My G34 works properly with no issues but when the interet from my ISP is offline the light does not blink. The first time my ISP had an outage that caused my internet to go offline the blue light blinked until service came back. This past weekend there were outages and the light did not blink at all. Today I removed the coaxial cable to move the modem and the light did not blink. Is it normal for the light to not blink when offline? It is my understanding that it should blink when there is no internet connection. The setting on my front panel is having light on at all times.

Upload speed

Does the G34 supports the “Next Gen Tier” upload on Xfinity/Comcast? I am thinking of upgrading my plan to a gigabit to take advantage of the higher upload. Thanks in advance.

Any way to track web address logs on G36

Hi there, we use a G36 gateway. Is there any way to see the log of website addresses being accessed? I couldn’t find it in the admin portal. The troubleshooting logs don’t seem to contain any web addresses.

Surfboard G36 with Comcast/Xfinity 2 Gbps Service

I recently purchased a G36 with the intention of eliminating Comcast’s rental XB8 modem at $15 per month. Comcast recommended the G36 as a DOCSIS 3.1 cable compatible modem with download speeds up to 4 Gbps. I have 2 Gbps service from Comcast. I did the install of the G36 and I’m only getting 1.2 Gbps maximum wired out of this modem despite Comcast showing 2 Gbps coming out of their coax cable.I spoke to Arris Tech Support who have been very helpful and they told me my modem was not commissioned correctly by Comcast. Comcast field tech is trying to tell me that my Surfboard G36 is correctly commissioned for 2 Gbps. How can I prove to Comcast that the G36 hasn’t been commissioned correctly?
