G36 issue - admin management interface issues, dropped connections, iot devices cannot connect

I tried to replace my S33 with a G36, wasted hours of my life to eventually rip out the G36.   Once it’s added to the mix, speeds are great both from wired and wireless.   The challenges are as follows:once it’s configured in the network, the management interface is basically useless, can’t connect or take 10-15mins to get to login page. if I get connected, anything I click on takes so long it comes back and says disconnected from gateway so I have to start again, more time wasted finally Once I connected and it held connection for a little bit, tried to setup a static ip for one host, the internet drops across wired/wireless regardless of browser used, they are all unsupported i tried online support and called support, the support level is less than ideal and do not get what the challenge is.   I have tried support both call in and chat multiple times, could not get resolved.  I have two options, get the device rma’ed, hopefully it’s just a bad device or toss it in the garbage.  Based

Login Error: Incorrect parameter values: Email Address

Hello, I set up my Arris G36 in the iOS app.  I had to supply an email address and I used an address with a plus sign (+) in it.  The app accepted the email with no problem.  However, the app is limited and I would like to log into the web UI to configure things.  Unfortunately, when I try to log in with my email and the password supplied in the app, I get the error: Incorrect parameter values: Email Address I have also supplied a screenshot below.  What are my options to fix this issue?  Can I change the email address in the Surfboard app somehow?  Please help as this is a frustrating bug I have run into.  The app should have caught this if it was going to be a problem. Thanks for any help you can offer,

We can’t stay connect to our Arris SURFboard Wi-Fi Cable Modem with our phones.  In addition when we do attempt to connect the various phone setting says that the password is wrong.  Reboot the cable modem and then after that we can connect.  Anyone have any ideas?   This is a new installation.

Single SSID issues

I am unable to turn off Single SSID.  I enabled it at first thinking that it might help with a printer issue, but it didn’t, so I’m trying to turn it off to get the separate 2.4ghz and 5ghz SSIDs back.  I go into the SURFboard Central app on my Android phone, click the My Network tab, then the Network Management box.  I click the plus icon to open up the Main Wi-Fi Network box.  The slider for “Enable Single SSID for 2.4G/5G bands” is to the right and green.  I click on the slider to disable it, a box pops up warning me that it will disable the device band steering capability.  I click OK. A wheel spins on the screen for a second, then nothing.  Everything stays the same. I’ve tried this over and over and Single SSID will not turn off.I have a G34 router.

G34 internet connection

I have G34 since last July and internet connection stopped working multiple times. There is no issue with Comcast both times since I could use my other gateway and it worked fine. The only way I could get to work was to reset to the factory defaults which is cumbersome. It is under warranty, and I want to get a warranty replacement but unable to find steps to get a replacement.

G34 modem

I recently purchased a G34 modem and it has doors communicating with my isp after just 2 months. I am unable to get Arris support for this modem and it has a 2 year warranty to boot! Obviously the warranty is only as good as toilet paper, as it has dissolved very quickly along with any customer support! Thanks Arris for making this decision for me to NEVER purchase another one of your products again, and trust me, when you lose a customer they tell 10 people, when you do right by a customer they tell 1 person, statistical fact. You can probably guess which direction I am taking! Good riddance!

G36 2.5GB port and other 1GB Port

Will the G36 allow the 2.5GB port to be connected to a PC and one of the four 1.0GB ports connected to a mesh system, switch, etc.?   On older Arris modems such as the S33 you cannot use the 2.5GB port and the 1.0GB port simultaneously.  Is the G36 different since it has 4 1.0GB ports.

Screen Mirroring Roku

When my Roku TV is connected to WiFi I can screen mirrior my iPhone. If I connect it via LAN (preferred) it does not work. Had the same problem with POE devices in the house. They would not connect without rebooting which forced me to go on wifi. Tried to play with some firewall settings but unsure what could be causing this. Xfinity Gig internet. Thanks for the help.

Return defective modem refund

I bought a new G34 6 months ago and it dies today. My cable provider confirmed it could not see the modem remotely, additionally resetting and power cycling always resulted in a steady light blue light.  So i purchased a new modem and it works great. How do I get a refund ? Thanks

Chrome Cast says "No devices found"

I just got an Arris SURFboard G34. I have a Google Chromecast and a desktop computer connected to the G34 using Ethernet. Both can access the Internet. However, if I use Chrome to Cast, it says "No devices found". I tried turning off the G34's firewall. Device Discovery is enabled. I also tried enabling Zero Config. If I plug my old ASUS RT-AC55U router into the G34, and plug the computer and Chromecast into the ASUS, then Cast finds the Chromecast and casting works.

Arris G34 Intermittent Issues

I have been having an issue that i need assistance with. I purchased and setup a Arris G34 modem as few weeks ago. I have been some weird issues. My ISP is Comcast. The weird issue is every few (random) days. I end was with slow activity in WIFi and even ethernet internet. In random cases even the ethernet doesnt work but the WIFI always seems to albeit slow when it happens. Comcast is reporting the modem is offline. I can even access the Surboard app and connect to the modem, most of the time. I can reboot the Gateway from that and everything again works fine and not slow...for a few days until it happens again. I can also manually unplug and reboot when the slowness/disconnect happens and again...it works fine few a few days until it happens again.Why would this be happening and how can i resolve this so its more consistenly up without this issue?Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.Please let me know.

Firmware Update on G36

What is the latest firmware for the Surfboard G36I read the documentation, and it said my provider would have software updates, but Xfinity customer service said that they would come from Arris.If I have the latest software already - then the question is moot, otherwise - how do I ensure that I have the latest security fixes, etc

Change Account admin Password

I want to change the account admin password but via the portal it says to use the app. Go into the surfboard central app and there is no option. Is there an option in the app? Is the surfboard central the correct app? The warning is it won’t sync to the app. Does it matter where you change the password at this point if there is no option in the app to change it?

Opening a port for my voip service

I am having problem with my voip that drops calls after a few minutes of conversation.  My service provider, magicJack, asked me to open my 5060 and 5070 on my G36 to improve the quality of the voip service.  Can anybody tell me if I can do it myself with the modem admin tool or does it have to be Comcast that can open these ports for me?   I own my modem.
