HP Printer won't connect to my G34 via WiFI.

I’ve spent a long time trying to get my HP Deskjet 4155e to connect to the WiFi on my Surfboard G34, which can’t seem to find the networks I’ve set up even though I set the printer right next to the gateway. When I called the HP tech support, they keep telling me to call the ISP and get them to separate the 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz networks, but Spectrum says they can’t do that because I own the modem/router. What exactly does it mean to separate the 2 different radio networks, and can I do that? So far, I’ve tried turning off the 5Ghz networks, but that hasn’t worked.

Can't connect my HP Officejet 4630 with my G36

Let me start with - I’m basically computer challenged, however I did manage to set up my G36 using the tools provided. Now I’m trying to set up my ancient HP Officejet 4630 and have spent about 2 hours so far. It will not connect. I printed the troubleshooting page and it indicated that “MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router, which can prevent your HP printer from connecting...during setup.”. I went in to the Surfboard website and manually entered the MAC address (under custom) for the printer and clicked enable. Still no luck. I’m hesitant to try clicking or changing anything else until I get someone with knowledge that can walk me through it. Thanks!

error code 0000-1612 on Surfboard Central

will this Surfboard Central app connection error ever get fixed? I just bought the G34 unit and have successfully activated plus ethernet-connected the unit (@900Mbps) and use 2 active wifi channel. The 192.168.0.1 web management pages are fine but the Surfboard Central app is still in Beta as far as my experience with this error 0000-1612. This all appears not that critical BUT because of web’s Account Mgmt Warning: To keep your account password in sync, it is recommended to update is using theSURFboard App rather than changing it here. This suggests one needs this Surfboard Central app to work properly to change passwords.

Brother printer 2270DW is not able to connect G34 via ethernet

I got a printer Brother 2270DW that connects to network via Ethernet and it will show up for a second in the list of devices and then disappear. It would never connect and stay with stable connection. I made sure it’s not any other issue and it works fine with other routers. Can anyone help me connect my printer?

Arris G36 Modem/Router Cast to Device Issue

I just upgraded my old SBG modem/router to the new G36 dual band modem/router. I had no issues setting up connections. My desktop is connected by cable, and all my other devices are connected by wifi, but win10 on my desktop can no longer see the devices on my wifi network like it did on my old modem such as my T.V. , so I cannot cast videos and such to my T.V. I have reset router, checked all settings, checked file sharing settings in win10, but win10 still does not see devices on wifi network. Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

G36 2.5gb port will not connect through a switch

I am trying to expand the single 2.5gb port on my G36 modem and not having any luck getting it connected to any devices when going through a multi-gigabyte switch. I first tried the TP-Link switch (TL-SG105-M2) which has five 2.5gb ports, and that did not work so i shipped it back and ordered the QNAP switch (QSW-2104-2S) and that did not connect either. It’s very basic troubleshooting, when any device is connected to the G36 2.5gb port directly there are no issues. But if i connect the G36 2.5gb port to switch and then try to connect devices to that, they do not connect. Also, the 1gb ports on the G36 do not have an issue connecting to any devices eitherdirectly or through the switch. The connectivity issue only occurs with the G36 2.5gb port going through a multi-gb switch, such as the two i mentioned above. Anyone else able to connect the G36 2.5gb port to a switch with 2.5gb ports, successfully? QNAP has been great trying to help me troubleshoot but attempts to get Arris support in

I have gigabit internet but my ethernet download speed is slow.

So I have Xfinity’s 1.2 gigabit internet plan and instead of leasing their gateway, I bought the Arris G36. When testing the speed of my internet on ethernet I get around 500 Mbps which doesn’t make sense. I had the same plan at my old house with the Xfinity gateway modem and got 900 Mbps. Now when I am downloading a simple 5GB file it takes 2 hours to download. It isn’t my Lan cable because I have brand new cables. Would anybody know what my problem is.

Gigabit internet but upload speed is slow

I recently got the G36 because Xfinity router WiFi was cutting out intermittently. I set it up, and over ethernet my download speed is 620 Mbps. which isn’t the best but I’m okay with that. However, my upload speed is only 5 Mbps, when I should be getting between 30 - 40 Mbps. Is there anything that I can do to improve my upload speed?

G36 2.4GHz mode

I recently had a problem start with one of my Roku devices dropping the wifi connection. A user on their community forum said this problem can occur if the router was connecting using 802.11 g/n instead of 802.11 b/g/n. Does anyone know if the G36 is configured to use 802.11 b/g/n on the 2.4GHz band?

G36 - Add additional Wifi Router

How do I add a second Wifi Router to my existing G36 Modem/Router. I have a large house. I upgraded my modem to the Arris G36. My prior modem did not have wifi so I have my old Asus Wifi router that I am trying to connect but when I connect to it it says I do not have internet access. I tried adjusting the Firewall but that has not made a difference. Do I connect the modem to my LAN or WAN ports of the second Wifi router. Do I need to change any settings? Thanks Ken

g34 as an access point

I purchased a g34 cable modem router as a backup to my Netgear router that failed. It's a nice router, but I finally got my Netgear warranty replacement. I would like to use the g34 as an accces point in my garage. I already have an Ethernet cable and use a small WiFi access point. I don't see an option to do this though, it looks like the g34 can only be used as a modem in bridge mode, not outputting WiFi signal. Is 8t possible to do what I want?

Not off to a good start with ghe G36 Modem

I attempted to register the SN of my new G36 today online, I made several attempts and got a message that the SN from the box and the device don’t match the product. I called their help line and the man said that he will register the device. I have had this modem for about 2 weeks and the wifi in the house is fine but I also have 3 ethernet connections in different rooms that have worked flawlessly with my TIVOs since I moved into this house almost 9 years ago. Now, the ethernet connections are not working. The modem did not come with setup instructions and I’m not sure which I should have plugged into the 2.5GB port on the modem, should I have the wifi or the ethernet that come from the wall? I would love to get my ethernet ports working again. This has been a horrible transition to the new modem. Arris says the G36 is the top of the line, my opinion, it’s a pain in the neck!

G36-VPN Client???

Does the G36 have VPN client mode? I want all my traffic routed through a VPN installed on the G36 instead of setting it up on each device I use, is this possible? If not, are there any suggestions for accomplishing my goal? Thanks in advance.

I recently switched my router, right now I'm working with the G34. I used to cast with my Google Chromecast with no issues but now that I changed my router, cast is not working. I haven't changed anything but my router. I also have a printer that is facing a similar issue but I'm not worried about that for the moment, I want a solution for my Chromecast
