Change G36 Router Admin Password

I want to be able to change/create my own router admin password instead of having Surfboard Central create a fixed one for me. I couldn't find that option on the Surfboard Central app (android). Then I went over to the web GUI and when I go to change password, it gives you a warning to change the password in the Surfboard Central app for syncing purposes, but also has an option to ignore. Went back into the app and dug around in detail and there is NO CHANGE PASSWORD OPTION. Found a one year old post with my exact issue, but there was no definitive answers except to confirm that the app assigns a password and it cannot be changed. So, the question remains. Can I ignore the warning in the web GUI and change my password without it creating issues for me?? This is a huge security issue to not be able to create my own password.

Authentication Certificate - G34 Wi-Fi Cable Modem

Does AARIS now have a valid authentication certificate for G34 Wi-Fi Cable Modem? How safe is it to use the 192.168.0.1 address? Can my computer get hacked using it? I use Wavebroadband via cable on my HP computer. I do not use the app on my phone.

How to disable router in G36 SURFboard modem/router combo for Mesh

Hi, I am attempting to set up a new Mesh wifi network in my three floor home. We’re pushing 5,000 sq ft and finding dead spots in the basement (TV) and on the 2nd floor (far end of house), and the old wifi Netgear extender just isn’t stable or great. I read online that I would need to disable the router function in my ARRIS G36 SURFboard cable modem/router combo first, then set-up bridge mode to connect it to a new Mesh network system. Any directions or guidance on this process? I don’t know how to disable the router function within my G36. I appreciate any network expert advise, thank you.

Intermittent internet connection on G36

I purchased the G36 on October 10, 2023 for $276.87. For the last several weeks I have had incredible issues with connectivity. I am an Xfinity customer and there are no issues known or reported in my area so that would tell me it is the modem. This unacceptable for a piece of equipment that I’ve only had a little over a year. I lose connectivity multiple times a day and I’m spending more time resetting/rebooting than I am working. Is anyone else having these issues and can offer any effective solutions? Other than purchasing a new modem that is NOT an Arris.

g36 drops xfinity internet randomly

Had my g36 for about 2 weeks now. Worked fine during this period, but over last few days started dropping signal 1-3 times per day. Xfinity says my signal is ok. Quick reset of the modem and all is restored, but after reading some of the threads on this forum about the same issue with basically no resolution makes me worry that I should just return the device while I still can. Thoughts?

G36 is basically a intermittent internet connection

I wasted $350 on this modem/router and I will never buy an Arris again. There is a firmware update that is needed and Xfinity and Arris need to get their act together!! I work for Xfinity and the company has been buying modems from Arris for years!! So why is this issue with the G36 not being addressed!! I'm a technician and I even had a maintenance tech check the signals levels at my home and in the area and he said there is no issue. He said it's the firmware that needs to be updated on this modem. I want my $350 dollars refunded!!

Surfboard app for the temporary home - G34

I have a Surfboard app for our internet modem at our permanent home. We just purchased a new arris modem for our temporary home and I can’t seem to open a new app because it recognizes the one I already have for a different modem. I have a different email address I can use but it won’t give me an option it just opens it up to the one I already have.

HELP XB8 super fast vs G34 avg 400 mbs - 1200 gig plan experiencing slow speed

Hey Everyone! I need ypur HELP sticking to XFINITY. i'm not technical enough to really understand all of this. Just enough to make myself dangerous. Here goes! Thank you in advance for anyone that can help walk me through this. You have no idea how grateful I will be. I am having major issues with xfinity. They are blaming my modems.For the reason, my download speeds are so slow. NETGEAR Night Hawk, NETGEAR C7000 2 and ARRIS G34. Slow download speeds. Ranging from 150 to max 350 ish. I had a 1000 gig plan. Just upgraded to 1200 because it was less expensive. Im in VERMONT I was told by a buddy of mine an independent contractor that xfinity and spectrum, both throttle down speeds to all other modems EXCEPT their own and or the 5 or 6.They have on their approved list on the website. Specifically the models on their site. I have been dealing with this issue for years now. Got in touch with xfinity, had a tech come out. Techs have been here at least 6 times in 7 years. They don't see any i

Arris G34 2.5ghz not working

I bought this router/modem and got it connected with my internet provider, everything was fine until I noticed the 2.4ghz connection no longer had internet access. The 5ghz still works but I have electronics that need the 2.4ghz.

Arris G34 Guest Wi-Fi Network Not Broadcasting

I recently purchased an Arris G34. The two home Wi-Fi networks are enabled to broadcast as well as the guest Wi-Fi network but the guest network isn’t broadcasting. I am unable to see it in any device. Any guidance would be appreciated. On what I don’t think is related, for some reason the primary home network kicks some of my devices out as having an incorrect password despite repeated attempts to re-enter while other devices accept the same exact password. I’m pretty sure they were correctly entered. The second home network doesn’t do that--so I just use the second home network as the primary. But just throwing it out in case someone thinks I have a defective device.

G34 - Slow speed internet connection on 5G network.

I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi router to the Ares G34. I've been noticing and experiencing some slower 5G Wi-Fi, and it's a lot slower when I'm in my bedroom, when my modem and Wi-Fi router is in the living room. I live in a roughly 800 square foot apartment and I'm unsure of why I'm experiencing this or I might be wrong and this might be normal.

Can't connect HP LaserJet Pro M402dw printer to G36

UPDATE: Pls disregard. I was able to ferret out how to get my printer to connect to the router using steps via the ‘192.168.0.1’ login on my browser. Success! ============== What am I not doing? My printer is still reading the old service provider’s modem and I can’t seem to access what I need to in order to connect/change the settings to the new SURFboard G36. When searching for answers on the Arris website, I also tried registering my G36 during steps and Arris cannot match the serial number. Of course it’s the weekend and the Comm website is difficult for me to navigate to find the appropriate tech-support chat to fix this. So what do I need to do now to get my printer working and the G36 and printer to recognize each other? I can go without my printer over the weekend, but come Monday, it’ll be hairy. I don’t own a smartphone or other device, but have to connect printer to router on a desktop (Mac mini). My HP M402dw does not have a touchscreen. May I have some help, please? TIA

G36 Slow Internet Speed on Spectrum 600mbps service

I’m looking for a solution to this problem: With a 1gb ethernet harwired connection to the G36 router/modem the maximum speed observed on a 600mbps Spectrum account is 150mbps download/20mbps upload. The G36 has been provisioned by Spectrum 4 times. Spectrum techs have been onsite and verified the integrity of the coax services up to the modem.

AX 3000 short life?

AX 3000 - short life? Xfinity has been to my house twice, replaced all the lines, tested the signal, and isolated the modem as the problem. I have 2G service. Service is intermittent, extremely slow, some apps won’t even load. Anything else I should look at before I junk this? Pretty disappointed, really unhappy to be spring g for another modem.

G36 ethernet download speed is slow

I have been using Xfinity’s 1.2 Gigabit plan for about 5 months. I was using this with a Netgear C7100V, but as it maxes out at 800Mbps and I no longer get voice service from Xfinity I upgraded to a Arris G36 about a month ago. My office PC is connected to the G36 via a unmanaged gigabit switch. When I ran speed tests with my Netgear gateway I used to consistently get download speeds around 800Mbps. (My history shows 795-817 Mbps). Since upgrading I’ve consistently been getting under 500 Mbps. (My history shows I once got 641, but on average it’s 450-460mbps). Since I’m going through a gigabit switch connected to one of the gigabit ports on the G36 I’m expecting to get closer to 950Gbps. Based on similar posts I’ve checked a number of different settings but can’t seem to find anything wrong. Can anyone tell me why I’m not getting the expected speed? It seems odd that I purchased a newer, faster gateway to only get slower service. I’m using the same cables and hardware that I used with
