SB6141 Cannot Connect to SmartTV

Hello, I have an older SB6141 that came with an old Cox Internet subscription that I still use, I have no problem connecting to my phone or laptops but when I try to connect to my SmartTV it tells me my password is wrong (my password is not wrong). I just purchased a new TV today hoping to alleviate the issue and I’m running into the same problem even through the Google Home setup.What is the problem here? is my router outdated?Thank you for any help or insight.

trouble logging in

I want to change the name and password of my internet but every time i got to login it says invalid credential. I typed in the browser the 192.168.0.1 to access the login screen then typed in the “admin” username and “password” password yet it says invalid even though it tells me that I have yet to setup an account. Wondering how I can get in.

Continuous Profile Seeking sb8200

Multiple times a day, my SB8200 modem is cycling through the process to select / apply the best Profile.  It is a set of three lines that appear in Event Log beginning with: US profile assignment change, MDD message timeout, and CM-STATUS message sent.  It is not clear which of the three is the ‘first’ in the series.  The logs are followed my my MAC address and the address of the CMTS-MAC address at the other end (COX).  It cycles between Profiles 9 13, 10 13, 11 13, and 12 13.The modem / service seems to be working fine otherwise, but this continuous cycling makes me think something is wrong.  This began about 3 days after a senior Cox tech was on site to fully clean my install including eliminating some ingress sources which coincidentally resulted in now showing blue 3.1 Upload in addition to 3.1 download.Here are the full lines with my MAC address deleted.US profile assignment change. US Chan ID: 8; Previous Profile: 10 13; New Profile: 11 13.;CM-MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;CMTS-MAC=**:*

SURFboard Firmware Flaw - Event Log Page

Is anyone experiencing a problem with firmware TB01.03.001.16_091322_212.0A for SB8200 and other modems for the Event Log page.  The problem is two-fold.  There are lines of ‘frozen’ text in the upper left corner of the Event Log page referencing ‘Confirm Settings’ but there is no response when clicked. Second, the Event Log is not populated.I have the problem when using Chrome to sign into my SB8200.I have confirmed with a Cox Corporate engineer responsible for modem testing that this a flaw.  He asked me to try the work-around of clearing the Chrome cache which did work for some of my PCs, but not others.  He also suggested I try other browsers and I confirmed the problem does not appear with Edge after I clear that cache.  He did not offer any further comments how he is working with Arris to get a repaired firmware load to push.  He did not offer if it causes any other problems with the modem.I am having problems with the modem continuously cycling through three ‘profiles’ trying to

Modem WiFi v. Mesh WiFi

Arris SBG 6580I just installed a Google WiFi mesh system. One of the 4 satellites attaches to the cable  modem/router via ethernet cable and also provides WiFi transmission to the area/room it's in.  Question.... Is there a way to disable the modem's WiFi transmission since the nearby satellite is already providing better WiFi transmission? I don't want to turn off the modem, but do want to disable (just) the WiFi transmission on the modem. I don't need any WiFi signal from the modem since I already have a stronger WiFi transmission being provided by the satellite. Thanks!!

Access to Arris TG2492S after firmware update

Hello community! After a firmware update, default password for the device control panel was changed to default WI-FI PSK. Current user manual guides to check default PSK from the sticker attached to the device. This device does not have such sticker. How can I regain the control over the device as firmware was updated and I ended up not having access to my router/modem? Many thanks for the answers!

How to disable Bridge Mode

So long story short , i was tinkering with a old model of an arris router from my local isp , it was showing some slow speeds between 1 to2 mb and the owner is paying for 50mb So i saw something about natted mode or  bridged mode somewhere in the management page and clicked Briged and it rebooted right away without it asking for a save Now its back up and only one device can be connected at a time , the speed is better but all the other devices on the network are without internet1st obvious solution is to connect to the modem manually but i don’t have access to that, its locked in a room Somewhere So my question is , is there any other way to access it wirelessly, it doesn’t go by the 192.168.xxx anymore it legit has random ips now  , and the gateways for those don’t work Thanks in advance for any help
