SB6190 cannot log in using IP address

I logged into my SB6190 modem by going to 192.168.0.1 in my browser to change my Wi-Fi password. I set the new password, but when I attempted to saved it, my system froze. I finally had to reboot. When I did, I was not able to log into my network using either the old or the new password. After several attempts, I logged into the 2.4 network instead of the 5.0. I was able to get online, so I tried to log into the modem setup using 192.168.0.1 again. I got an error message stating that there is no internet connection, even though I am on the internet.I have attempted multiple times to reset the 6190 to factory settings to no avail. It always comes back to my original two Wi-Fi networks of which only the 2.4 will work. Any ideas on what to do next?

new arris owner

I just purchased a new modem I thought was a 2 in 1 modem router. It's an SB6190 I see I'm connected directly. I don't see a router name to connect wireless. That & with the direct connection I'm on a nat type 1. I need a nat type 2 to play games online. Anyone know how to get to a type 2 signal ? What happened to the days when we bought a product & could actually talk to someone to get everything set up properly within the first 24hr?

Intermittent internet connection on surfboard sb6190

Have a surfboard SB6190 that seems to be dropping the incoming Spectrum signal between it and my tp-link wireless router. Talked to Spectrum, they swear their incoming signal is steady and not dropping. Firmware on the router is up to date.  Any suggestions on how to remedy this situation? Thank you.

lights on and no internet on sb6190

What does it mean if all four lights are green while rebooting but the two middle ones turn blue and power and glove button go white?  I am not getting internet but isp says signal is just fine.  Also Ethernet  port is flashing yellow on back or modem and router.  Have already tried new Ethernet and resetting router and modem

SB6190 - Modem is getting warmer

I recently purchased an SB6190 and it seems to be working fine but I’m a little concerned about how warm it gets. If I aim an infrared thermometer at the top I get a reading of 103 - 106 degrees and roughly 85 degrees on either side. If I place my hand on the top it’s quite warm but not what I’d describe as hot though definitely warmer than any modem I’ve owned in the past. Is this normal for these units ? Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Spectrum says SB6183

Everything worked fine. I was rolling off a promotion and Spectrum a new one on my account. When they did it, they said my modem is no longer compatible and I have to buy a new one. Is this correct? And what’s a cheap SB I can buy if I need a new one? Thanks

SB6183 & SB6190 modems - Slow internet speed

I’ve been using a SB6183 for a number of years now, and yesterday I was told by Infinity techie that my incoming speed was GREAT (better then 1000mbps), but it was my modem that slowed it down to 45-55 mbps. How is this happening when the specs on the modem says it does up to 686 mbps?So lets say i need a new modem,...maybe the follow on product SB6190. Looking thru various sites does NOT give me a lot of confidence this modem is any good?? Can these relatively simply units be that hi-rate faulty? Then I saw on a Comcast/Infinity community forum where Comcast themselves were defeating some installations of hi-speed modems,...some of these from ARRIS ??What is this world coming to,...a whole lot of mis-information. I’m just a plain old 81 year old model railroader who wants to surf the forums, and is NOT a computer-head to figure out basic stuff   !All I need according to those more informed is a speed of 100-300 mbps to cut out this ‘firefox not responding’, and msnbc choppy reception

SB6190 works with direct connection but not with router

I just bought this modem (SB6190) and am already at my wit’s end trying to get it to work with my router! I was able to activate the modem myself via the Xfinity app no problem, and it works just fine when I connect the modem directly to my computer via LAN.HOWEVER, the instant I try to connect the modem to my router, it simply will not work! My router’s light indicates that it isn’t connected to the internet, and when I try to configure the router via LAN connection, it says it can’t find its assigned IP address. I’ve power cycled both the modem and the router several times in the correct order (i.e., power both off, power modem on, wait until connected to Xfinity, power router on), but the problem persists.To make sure this was a modem problem and not a router problem, I re-activated my Xfinity Gateway and plugged it into my router into that. And hey, what do you know—everything worked flawlessly!So, can someone PLEASE help me figure out how to get this thing to work before I go insa

Arris Surfboard SB6190 - Laptop is not connecting with internet

My laptop is showing no Internet connection even though all my other devices are on line. My Internet provider tested all the equipment and says they are working properly. They suggested that my modem probably needs a wifi driver update. What should I do?

Sb6190 and linksys e5400 no internet

I just got the Arris Surfboard sb 6190 and now it's not working with my Linksys e5400 wireless router. I have a Google pixel 8, and it keeps saying that I need to sign in to the wireless network, but from there it takes me to spectrum for activation even though I thought it was done through the app.  I can see I'm getting Internet thru the modem, but nothing thru the wireless router.  Any help appreciated.  Thanks all!!

SB6190 wont connect to internet after outage/storms

Hey all, my ISP had a several day outage after Hurricane Beryl impacted Texas. My ISP swears there is not an outage in my area anymore but my modem, despite several reboots/power cycles etc will not move past the blinking download light stage of initialization. As far as I can tell there is no issue with the coax connection into the house (but may be?) or with the coax connection to the little ground node thing.  I have a service appointment set up for the end of the week (I won’t be home so the internet being out for a few days while annoying isn’t the end of the world) but my urge to fix things has me trying to figure this out.  could my modem be shot?

Modem is not working

We recently purchased a surfboard cable modem at walmart.  When our new internet was connected we realized we did not need the modem.  When we tried to return it, it was out of return time frame.  The return desk informed us to contact your website to see if it could be returned directly to you.  The modem has not been opened.  Can you help in any way?ThanksCindyhu
