G54

Recently purchased and successfully installed G54 modem/router via Xfinity. No issues and I was able to connect phones and laptop via wifi. But in the app I only see the one device as connected. Also in the web interface the device list is always showing as "loading". I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but did not resolve the issue. Please help.

Is there anyway to update friends whare G 54 four the Arries?

I was in the router/modem setup page, right after I picked my password it logged me out.Now the router is giving me a bad password error. The username is filled in by default “admin.” Am I missing something? I wrote down my password, so I know that’s not the problem.

Many of my connected devices do not appear correctly. I have erased the app from my phone several times and reinstalled it to no avail. On my computer it does show many of the devices on the network correctly. How can i fix this?  Also, what is the best way to identify devices on the network? 

Does anyone know a specific WiFi range extender that works with the G54?

I’m very disappointed with the performance of my G54 wi-fi signals all around. My house is only 1600 square feet. G54 is centrally located. My devices constantly drop connections while inside the house, my HomePods drop their ability to connect and need to be reset once a week, my video doorbell, which has a hub only 50 feet away from the router with a direct line of site reports a weak signal and eventually disconnects itself within a day of reconnecting. Im about to swear off Arris products for good but hoping that my unit is perhaps defective. Any ideas? 

I have the G54 wifi/router and recently purchased the 2 pack of the mesh devices W121.  Spent hours trying to get the W121 to work without success.  Do I need to change a setting in the G54 unit to make this work?  App keeps giving error codes which do not appear to provide answers.Please help.

how do you update this modem, where can you find the update files, because you can't update it inside the surfboard central app , the only reason I'm asking because the upload speed is good and the download speed is bad, we upgrade to 500 with cox, we had 250 before it was fine, sometimes it can disconnect, i had it for a week only.

I have the arris g54 model and the internet keeps cutting out.  I will have connection then will lose connection, then it will come back.  Solid blue light, then blinking green, then solid blue.  I've reset the modem numerous times, contacted xfinity and nothing works.

I’ve been using the Arris G54 and the Netgear RBE973S to test WIFI 7 and just wanted to provide some feedback on how the Arris performs so far. Its not a fair comparison as the Netgear has a few extra features/performance specs. Overall, its performance has been excellent. I have a 3200sq ft home and with it centrally located, it covers the whole home. I’m running around 60+ devices overall (40+ wireless) and I’ve had no issues or bandwidth concerns. I do have all but 1 of my 4k tv’s hardwired in because I prefer that for streaming. I do have the 10g port connected through a 2.5gig tp-link switch and it doesn’t have any issues saturating it. While the Netgear is faster on the peripheral (because of the satellites), the Arris keeps up in closer range and even will beat it on some tests. I’ve been able to saturate my multi-gig speeds over wireless. So if you have a mid-sided home, this should cover it great if you centrally locate it. What I like: I like havi

Internet company says I am connected to my internet on their end. But I am still unable to connect to my WiFi. They say it’s my modem. Has this happened to anyone else 

I am looking for the best way to set up a mesh system where I need two devices in the house and a 3rd unit connected by an ethernet cable to my steel pole barn 200 feet away.  I was looking at the W122 with the satellite wall plug and add at W21 in the pole barn. is this the best way or is there a better way?

For the price it has to offer 4x4 MIMO but the product page is awful.  It doesn't even mention if it supports the 6Ghz frequency.  There are Wi-Fi routers that support 2.4 and 5Ghz, and are Wi-Fi 7 so not having exact specifications specified on the product page does not make sense.  The product page might as well just say “Here’s a modem.  Give me money.”  What justifies the price?

I have a G54 modem/router and I would like to make it a mesh system, what mesh system works best for that? I do need to be able to connect with an ethernet cable due to my pole barn having metal walls.

When i put my G54 in bridge mode and connect it to tp-link Archer AX55 i have internet for about 5 mins and then I lose both wifi and land line connections.

I’ve had an air surfboard mesh system for years.  I have 3 -W31 units. One is the router and the other 2 are satellites to extend signal. I have SB8200 modem. Looking to upgrade but curious if I can still use the W31s as satellites if I upgrade to G54. If so, is there a limit to the number of satellites I can connect? thx,cable

Is it possible to completely disable the WiFi radios on the G54?I didn’t even think this was a question needing to be asked, until I got a competitor’s product today, and it’s impossible to turn off the radio. (Verified with tech support.) So that’s being returned.The G54 is my next choice, I’ve read the manual, and that doesn’t say that you can. That does say you can turn off the 2.4GHz radio in section 4 of configuring your WiFi. It even has a picture of the screen with a big button to turn the radio off. The sections on 5 and 6 GHz don’t have a picture, and say to repeat steps 5 on (so no step 4).There are several other threads here, which are unclear on this, and show various disable buttons on various screens. Or you have to go into bridge mode.So with the latest firmware, can you turn off all radios on the G54, which still being a router? 

I have an TP link Archer 5400 someone gave me would like to bridge it to the G54 using the G54 as main router is this possible? Or would I only be able to use G54  in Bridge mode? I’s really prefer to use the G54 as main router leaving the Wi-Fi on? I am able to put the Archer 5400 in Access mode and connect to the G54 but only with Ethernet cable can I do this wirelessly?

Not all four 1 gbps ports are putting out 1000 mbps. Getting the following connection strength.Port 2: 1000 mbps down and upPort 3: 1000 mbps down and upPort 4: 100 mbps down and upPort 5: 10 mbps down and up (Does not work properly)Is this normal?

I just got the g54 today, I set it up and it is connected to my isp.  Every couple hours the g54 will lose connection then reconnect.   I will have internet then all the sudden I lose it and have to wait for the g54 to reset, then I get my internet back. 

I set up my g54 for port forwarding but ports are still shown as closed on port checker. 

The web interface of my G54 is not loading devices so I’m not able to manage them. Any suggestions? 

Hello.  My older modem had an RJ11 plug to connect my landline to it since it runs on Comcast too.  I got a converter on Amazon, but doesn’t work.  I thinking there must be a specific connector to make this work?  Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Is the G54 modem/router a better device than a Xfinity XB8 gateway?

Can you put the G54 in bridge mode on the app?
