Greetings,
In the past few days my S33 modem, which until now has performed perfectly well, has suddenly stopped connecting to Sparklight’s cable network. After investigating the interface, I learned that it was stuck at “acquiring downstream channel,” and after calling Sparklight learned that it had suddenly dropped off their network and as far as they could tell everything on their end was working fine. I’ve attempted several restarts and two factory resets, which have done nothing, and am not sure what to do next.
I wanted to call or chat with Arris technical support, since this modem is in warranty until December 28th 2025, but the live chat option on their support webpage only says that it’s working without any interface for actually connecting to chat (in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome), and the call section doesn’t actually list any phone numbers to call. So I can’t do that, either.
Does anyone have any suggestions for further troubleshooting activity or other suggestions for next steps?
