Modems

I placed an order from the official store and the only email I got from ARRIS was an email asking me to review the S33 modem I haven’t even received. I don’t have an order number or a way to track the shipment. Is there some type of customer service I can contact to ask about the status of my order? surfboard.com/support just 404s. 

TLDR; If your S33 isn’t working to connect to the internet, the modem itself is buzzing, the light cycles between amber for a while then a quick change to white/green and then off only to restart the cycle, you may just need a new power adapter to get it to work again. I’ve looked through several posts of the same problem I was having starting today. The modem was buzzing and there was a constant cycle of the lights no matter what I tried. The amber light was on for about 7-10 seconds and then flipped to a white/green light for a second or two before turning off and then restarting the cycle of amber, white/green, and off. Things I tried to get it to work include disconnecting and reconnecting the power to the unit, confirming that my internet service provider (Xfinity) had no reported outages, removing the coaxial cable, and attempting to reset the whole modem. When I tried resetting the modem with the reset button on the bottom, nothing happened regardless of how lon

Hi,I have unfortunately terrible cellular service with AT&T at my home and am evaluating options. AT&T has given me a cell booster and I am trying to connect it, and have been instructed by AT&T that I have to open the following UDP ports of the modem to allow the booster to activate: UDP / 500 IPSec port, UDP / 4500 IPSec port, Emergency Services Protocol (ESP) 50, and UDP 123 NTP port (timing synch). Initially, AT&T said my internet provider had to enable this, but I own the modem (not Xfinity, my internet provider). I seem to be unable to talk live to an ARRIS rep to resolve this. Does anyone have advice? Thank you!  

Recently switched ISP’s, and got new ARRIS modem router.  Have two outdoor security cameras - both SimpliSafe and wireless.Switched ID and password of router to new ones.  Was able to connect one security camera.  Was not asked for password.  Tried connecting other security camera, got asked for password, entered it, and got response that password not correct.  Really strange.

I sell clothes online and I recently returned to school, and I have a ARRIS modem here at school. I was able to connect my label printer during the fall, but I am not able to connect them anymore.

Our S33 cable modem is less than a year old. It keeps losing Wave Cable/Astound internet connection while using an Arris NVG578HLX WiFi router. The S33 has already crapped out twice today, and it's getting worse. Now I get an intermittent “Privacy Warning: This device is blocking encrypted DNS traffic. The names of websites and servers your device access on this network may be monitored and recorded by other devices on this network."What's wrong and how do I fix it? 

I’ve been charged for not sending in my return, but the unit is still in route and should be delivered tomorrow.  The tracking number is below.  Since I shipped the unit well within the required timeframe and cannot control how long the shipping takes, I expect to receive refund of the money I was charged once the unit arrives - please confirm. Tracking info UPS:1ZHF78959020578454

“Chat hours: Monday – Saturday from 7 AM – 7 PM Pacific Time”this is on their customer support page, right now it’s 8 am on Saturday, but the chat is unavailable! Also, they don’t list their phone number on their website (basic information for a legit company, why you hide it?), I had to google to find the number, needless to say, no one was working, and the voice message kept telling me “our chat support is available from Monday to Saturday! It’s a big lie!    

I have a BGW 210 with AT&T. Will it be compatible if used in place of a SB 6120 for Spectrum?

I have my new SB8200v3 modem and I noticed there are two ports only. The top port is no problem, but does the bottom port even work? And if it does, how do you get it to work and what can it do?

We recently started a home project and needed to cut the power off from the breaker. The router/mesh system were both plugged in when we flipped the breaker to turn off the power. Once we flipped the breaker back on, the router now shows a solid white light. There’s nothing in the owners manual depicting what a white light means. If it’s useful information, we use a deco mesh system (AX3000) that is currently showing red, which indicates it cannot connect to the WiFi. How do I get my WiFi working again?? I’ve tried: resetting the router (unplugging, pressing little reset button on the bottom), resetting the mesh system, replacing the power cord, and nothing works. 

How can we activate the 2.4GHZ on the SB8200 with Xfinity? I just bought the device and cannot connect some of my devices. Thank you for your help in advance

I just got setup with Xfinity tech support replaced out SB6190 for S34.  Everything works on the modem to PC but when adding to my router it will not connect.  Thoughts?  I have a Firewalla Gold and I have deleted the network and rebooted all setup with DHCP.  Trying to avoid factory reset too many rules created on my network. thanksjoe 

i have had 2 SB8200’s and neither one would ever show docsis 3.1 and with several phone calls and house visits from techs they said nothing was wrong on their end but as soon as they hooked up “their Modem” it instantly showed docsis 3.1 with the blue lights… could i really have 2 bad 8200’s or is that their way of getting me to rent their equipment?

So I just got an Sb8200. Apparently Xfinity is telling me it’s not compatible even though on their website it says it supports it. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

I have a SB8200 with a net gear router. I am experiencing very slow speeds with my Xfinity account. I have a 500mbps account. Xfinity says there is no problem coming in to the house. I was wondering how I could tell if it was my modem on my router that is only giving me about 10 MBPS?

I have Starlink set up in my barn that is approximately 150 ft from my house. I ran a RJ45 cable from the Starlink modem to the house. Will the Arris SB 6190 work to bring the internet to the house? Note there is no coaxial cable just the Ethernet RJ 45 from Starlink to SB 6190

Wondering, can Arris support configure their (MINE) modem for say Comcast, to work on their network?

My SB8200 power light turns off every 10 seconds and when it turns off the upload link light turns on for one second. This then repeats endlessly. I've tried hiding thr factory reset button for more than 10 seconds and nothing happens.  I've called my ISP and they can't ping the modem. I've tried unplugging the coaxial, moving it to a different outlet, unplugging the ethernet and nothing seems to change it.I've had the modem for 1.5 years and it's only happened one other time but the ISP was able to fix on the call.Any thoughts here?

Hello, after many hours working with comcast and missed sleep trying to provision my new S33 modem, I had a thought to log into it but couldn't. So I factory reset the S33 & was then able to connect. Looked at log & see a critical error TVL-11. Basically, saying the MAC id doesn't match the model in comcasts system saying its something other than the S33. So, when they send signal to provision it, it fails. How can mac id & model be different. Tried calling modem support but they are not open yet. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix besides returning it & posting a very negative review?

I have a Sony Bravia  Google Play TV. My service provider is Comcast and I connect to Xfinity TV program on a HDI port and  Google Play is configured for the port called Channel . I began having service interruption issues on my Sony Bravia Google Play about 1 month now. The Google Play App would just hang and not load at all while in the same instance the NetFlix app would load wihout issues indicating that this is NOT a network issue on my network. The Netflix APP  has  its own icon and loaded without issues and have no issues with Xfinity programming loading  That tells me that my TV is working ok, no issues with the sound or picture.  Ive began getting messages from SurfBoard and Fing suggesting that services have been handed off.  The XFINITY Remote controls the volume when ocassionally  my Sony Bravia Google Play TV  works which suggests there may be some crossfunctioning.  

About a month ago my s33v2 starting making a high pitched whining noise.  At that time the internet was slow but power cycle fixed it (the internet, not the whining noise).Now the modem seems to have stopped working completely.  I power cycled the modem and router several times, tried multiple cables (both to router and directly to PC) and neither the router nor PC detects any connection.  Checked with xfinity and their service is fine but no modem is detected.  Held reset for awhile but still nothing.Modem is still under warranty but support is closed today.  Any advice?

I have Cox for Internet. Cox support told me to use a switch (not a router) to connect two computers to the modem. It seems like a simple thing to do, and I want to be sure to get a compatible switch. Any recommendations for a switch?I'm also considering having a Cox technician come to my house to do the setup in case there are things I don't know that need to be done -- currently have their Panoramic modem/router. Is that a good idea?

S34 activated with xFinity for “internet only” service, no voice. The 1-Gig port does not seem to be useable, at least for my VOIPo service.Do xFinity settings capture the 1-Gig port, even if xFinity voice is not used? If they control it, given I don’t use xFinity voice, can I log onto the S34 and somehow open the port for my use? If not, can I request xFinity to release the 1Gig port to me?I get it that I can work through the various xFinity support options and at some point get this eleveated a time or two to get to someone there who can actually answer my questions and not just read me scripts, but I am hoping an S33/34 user has been through this and can provide practical info first pass.Thank you, Bill

I too received no confirmtion of order or tracking, nothing, zilch. Order support links all deadends except being routed to the Community where there is no order, or sales help of any use other than opinions and runarounds.A few days after the order I was emailed to comment on my new modem (that I hadn’t received) using the s/n which I hadn’t received. After a week and a day the modem showed up unannounced.This Community directs to Arris Customer Support which directs to come back to the Community, so a never-ending loop (hint: MODERATORS, check out the links you are providing!).Some Arris Customer Support links redirect to https://www.commscope.com/ and then you’re really off the rails and get no help, at least I didn’t.Tech support apparently works, but you have to have a s/n which you don’t have. I essentially tricked Tech support system to be able to talk to someone and co
