DOCSIS® 3.0 Cable Modem
Recently active
Have done a power reset and a factory reset but still just power light comes on.
Recently, a technician from the evil ISP I currently forced to pay $94.99 for 500 Mbps internet access (as they have a monopoly on internet connections in my area) tried unannounced, to swap out my cable modem for an ISP provided DOCSIS 3.1 modem. The technician insisted that my current modem was cause issues with the ISP’s signal. Sensing this was yet another of the ISP’s manipulative lies, I refused to change modems. The event log noted some issues, e.g., “No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out...”My questions are:Did the technician have a point? Since the SB6190 cannot be “updated” to DOCSIS 3.1, is it necessary to buy a new cable modemThank you, Umrk
Internet has been dropping the last two weeks because they are messing with the signal or something. Xfinity says everything working just fine on their end but I still have issues. No internet, wi-fi only. Is there a fix for this modem or is it just to outdated?
I called my ISP they told me they do not update firmware on my modem since I own it and do not rent from them. So how do I go about updating the firmware on the modem? They advised me to reach out to the manufacturer for a firmware update.
Just need the default password for the SB6190 have done the master reset.. but still need the password.all the lights flash.. everything is good…. just can't login … looked all over this site and have not seen this info. there is not sticker. Used unit. have tried last 8 of serial number, password, 12345678… ect..any other ideas ???? HELP PLEASE LOL
If I try to load the ARRIS SB6190 Web Manager Access page 192.168.100.1 I get "403 Forbidden" (tried multiple browsers). I’m assuming that when xfinity reprovisioned for internet access, it locked me out from looking at or making any changes to the modem’s configuration? Does that sound right? Currently, my ISP speeds are about 1% of what they had been (using the same modem) up until now (download 0.5Mbps vs 89.3Mbps). I am testing the speed with the modem connected directly to my PC (ethernet cable). I’m about to use the RESET button on the back of my SB6190 (which is what was recommended to me once before by ARRIS for an earlier Surfboard modem I was using that had a similar problem). After the reset, I plan to used the xfinity mobile app to reprovision for internet access. Does that also sound right? Thanks.
I have a Surfboard SB6190 modem. I understand the ISP has to do any firmware updating but is there a way to determine if the firmware is up to date?
Even following the instructions exactly, (I bought this year’s ago so there’s no way it’s under warranty, so to get any support at all from the manufacture of this product I have to pay for it, (warranty period x2 years and I’ve had this for almost x4 years), and I’m experiencing the following; I can’t even log on, ) 192.168.100.1), in order to revise the factory settings. Even after “resetting” nothing happens. I’ve tried completely disconnecting everything and allowing it to completely cool so it only warms to room temperature and nothing.
This page for the SB6183 at the top lists the download speed as 686Mbps but if you scroll down to the specs it lists the download speed as 400Mbps, so which is it? https://shop.surfboard.com/sb6183-surfboard-cable-modem/. Also this other page lists 400Mbps as well https://www.surfboard.com/products/cable-modems/sb6183/ but during speed tests, I can get over 500Mbps so that makes me think it is 686Mbps but all the pages make this pretty confusing. Also, what is the max upload speed? Since there are fewer upstream channels in the modem than downstream channels, the max upload speed is usually less than the download speed. Based on this article, I’m guessing 200Mbps but does anyone know for sure? https://kb.netgear.com/000060401/What-is-the-difference-between-DOCSIS-3-0-and-3-1
My SB6109 keeps loosing connection about every 2 days. I have to reboot it in order to gain wifi connection back to the router.
I am in need of some replacement power supplies for SB6190. I am seeking the best quality for the best price. Oem would be ideal.
Hi all,We got a Surfboard 6190 modem and it’s hard for us to tell if the issues are from our ISP or modem, but our ISP thinks it’s our modem now. (There were also some repairs they needed to do on their end with the wires). But we are now still having severely reduced connection speeds. Paying for 400 mbps, getting about 20, and often it completely dies. The event log for our modem has constant inputs, attached at bottom. Anyone have any idea what’s going on and what we can do?Thanks much,Dust (edit: CM-MAC information removed)Wed Jan 11 17:36:38 2023 4 Service Change Response rejected - Invalid transaction ID;CM-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CMTS-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Wed Jan 11 17:36:43 2023 5 RCS Partial Service;CM-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CMTS-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Wed Jan 11 17:37:00 2023 5 Lost MDD Timeout;CM-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CMTS-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Wed Jan 11 17:37:01 2023 5 RCS Partial Service;
All of a sudden I'm now suddenly my unit will not recognize my password.
