Installing G54 on Xfinity network issues

I have been trying to install my new G54 modem, and it will not activate. The light is red, then flashes green then goes solid blue. Then after couple minutes it starts all over again. I have rebooted the modem several times. I have activated it on Xfinity network I am assuming but will not go online. Is there a problem with the modem? The app says to call support, but without Internet, I have no phone service.

Arris G54 drops 2.4ghz Network and slow speeds

I recently started using this device on 03/23/25. I have Spectrum Internet on the 1GB plan. This Modem/Router keeps dropping the WiFi Networks constantly for no reason. I replaced my Netgear Modem/Router for this device and feel I have made a mistake. I was looking to see if there was a firmware update but everywhere I look, it states that my ISP does the firmware update. I call Spectrum and they state that they would not do the Firmware update as the device is owned by and I would have to update the Firwmare. With that being said, there is no option in the GUI to update the Firmware or anywhere on the Internet to find the any Firmwares for this device. Please help.

G54 Says incorrect password for 2.4ghz and 6ghz networks when password is correct

I enter the correct password to connect to the 2.4 and or 6ghz networks and the response is that the password is incorrect when it’s 100% correct. I have restarted EVERYTHING multiple times and have even tried changing the password on the Gateway and it still says the passwords are wrong.

MacBook Air not showing on Router's connected Devices

Using MacBook Air (Mac) Sequoia 15.3 Chrome Browser. I am able to connect to router and configure, but NEVER show up as a connected device. iPhones, Printer (HP), SAMSUNG TV… But never my Mac… For that reason, I cannot connect to the printer. Both iPhones do connect and print from the printer. My Mac displays the Wi-Fi signal with full bars… I cannot ping any of the “connected” devices. Firewall completely disabled (IPv4 & 6). (I don’t think I need a reboot) I CAN ping the router. I can reach the internet. But not talking to anybody on my 192 Net. Rebooted twice… Change DHCP distributed IP… I was able to ping addrs yesterday... en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=6460<TSO4,TSO6,CHANNEL_IO,PARTIAL_CSUM,ZEROINVERT_CSUM> ether {Edit : personal information } inet6 fe80::14da:e1da:829d:9dd7%en0 prefixlen 64 secured scopeid 0xb inet 192.168.0.96 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 2601: 18c:8500:7b:54:6c84:2c17:1314 prefixlen 64 autocon

Time limit per day for individual devices?

Hello On a G54, Is there a way to limit the amount of time a device can access internet per day? I currently use parental controls to turn off access to my kids devices between 9:30pm and 6am, and that works well. With summer break from school coming, I would like to find a way to allow them to use the internet for a set period of time per day, but whenever they choose. For instance, similar to WiFi at a hotel, where you have to “login” each day and the WiFi expires after a certain amount of time. Can I do that with my G54, or can anyone point me in the right direction?

Troubleshooting with G54 Bridge Mode

Hello, I need some help with my G54 modem. Network: My G54 will act as my bridge, my UDM Pro will handle assigning IP addresses to devices. I will be setting up VLANs on a switch and I’ll be using mesh nodes for AP (replacing repeaters.) Issue: When I enable Bridge Mode on my G54 and restart it, my connected Router does not recieve a WAN IP, only a LAN IP. When Bridge Mode is disabled, I have both on my UDM Pro router. I have been factory restting my G54 to recieve internet access/connection when this fails. When I connect my laptop to G54 (in bridge mode) my laptop is assigned a 169. IP but when I connect to the Router (while G54 is in bridge mode I get a 192. IP, but I do not gain internet access.) Troubleshooting attempts: I tried cloning the MAC address assigned to my laptop, it recieved from the modem, to my UDM Pro’s WAN1. (in the app.) It was unsuccessful. I tried to manually push a working IP address. Awful attempt. Unsuccessful. I called my ISP and asked them to enable Bridge

Port forwarding to internal hosts with the same port number

Hello, I have a client who recently had Comcast install a new cable modem (CBR2-T) and this broke their credit card machines. Long story short the new Comcast Cable modem cannot forward different incoming requests on different ports to different internal hosts on the same port. The old cable modem could do this! Basically, I want to do this: 78.100.200.50:6000 → 192.168.1.10:6000 78.100.200.50:5999 → 192.168.1.11:6000 (IPs are for example purposes only and not real) The Arris G54 is listed as an approved Comcast cable modem and before I have the client purchase it I want to be sure the port forwarding will work as I described above. Thanks, Jerry

Why are multiple G54’s not working on Xfinity?

I recently sent my last Arris G54 in because Xfinity said it didn’t work (after about 7 months of working flawlessly). After receiving a replacement, I setup another Xfinity Tech Appointment. The Tech took almost an hour trying to get the replacement to work, but it also can’t get a signal. Could it be that the replacement Arris sent me was also defective? Or is Xfinity trying to swindle me into paying for a rental? At this point, I don’t know what to believe.

Gateway Issues (G54) slow speed internet connection

A few days ago, my Internet on my G54 gateway started acting slow. It takes a while to load an entertainment app like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and getting high ping while playing games to where it’s unbearable. But when doing a speed test on my G54 it says I’m getting over 300 download speed and 39 upload. So why is my Internet being so slow and having a high ping in games? Is it my modem thats acting up, or my ISP?

Error Code 0000-1612 at the regerter my device page on G54

As the title states, everytime I get to the "register my device" part of this app, I get the wifi communication failure message with error Code 0000-1612. I've reset my device numerous times with both hard and soft resets, un-installed the app, etc. Apparently I need to get through that page to make an account username and password to get access to my admin page on my g54. This is more than frustrating.

Speed is too low while PC is in 2nd floor

I recently setup the modem/router and I get excellent speed on all devices except one, which is a HP laptop (when it is far from router). The speed that I am getting in the laptop (Windows PC) is excellent when it is on the same floor. But when it is in the second floor, the speed is 20-30 mbps. Interesting thing is that, the speeds are pretty good when I check from an ipad and chrombook while in the second floor. It appears that the PC is having hard time to get the performance just when it is in the second floor. Any idea what could be causing the slowness in the PC while there are no issues in chrome book and ipad. Thanks . Nm

G54 5GHz networks can't be detected.

I set up a G54 modem in my home in November, and configured my wifi networks using Split Mode. I had most of the devices connecting to the 5GHz network perfectly fine for a while. They were routinely getting speeds in the 400-500Mbps range. Then suddenly a couple weeks ago none of the wireless devices in my home were able to detect any of the networks except for the 2.4GHz one, and they were only getting speeds of ~50Mbps. According to the modem’s Admin GUI the 5GHz radio, 5GHz High radio, and 6GHz radio are all enabled and active. I tried a factory reset and turned Split Mode back on. Once again, my wifi devices could only detect the 2.4GHz network. I then disabled Split Mode and enabled Band Steering, hoping that they would get automatically directed to the faster band. But the Connected Devices page showed everything connected on the 2.4GHz band, and speed tests showed I was only getting ~50Mbps on that band. I tried enabling the Guest Network with the same results. I have a desktop

some 2.4 Ghz devices won’t connect to G54

Some of my devices won’t connect to the WiFi. It allows me to select the SSID and password but won’t connect. My old router had specific channels for 2.4 and 5G so it didn’t have a problem. Any suggestions?

G54 not showing connected devices

I have purchased the G54 and either on the app or the web interface is not showing the correct/all amount of devices. On the app, it is showing 5 connections simply called “Device”, all of them with a phone icon. Cross referencing the IP addresses from the web interface, only 4 of those IP addresses show up on both lists. The 5th IP address showing on the app is my personal computer.(The one I am using to look at the web interface) On the web interface, it is showing 4 devices connected, again with the 5th connection my app is reporting being the computer I am currently on. Not sure how the device I am accessing the web interface on doesn’t show up as connected. It is also consistently dropping my phones connection which does reflect on the web interface but not the app. THE ISSUE despite seeing either 4 or 5 connections here and there, is that I actually have 16 devices currently connected and working on my network. There are cameras that are not showing up that I need the ip address
