sbg7600 loses internet connection multiple times per day

My 1 year old sbg7600 loses internet 5-6 times per day for 20+ minutes a time.  I cannot find any support for this product that is still in warranty.  This is the third Arris system that has failed in under 2 years.  Unbelievable lack of quality from such a big brand.  I'm surprised Best Buy still carries it.

How do I get a shell on my SBG7600AC2?

Hello. I am trying to get a shell on my SBG7600AC2, Bootcode Version 2.2.0.46, Hardware Version 2, Firmware Version 9.1.103AA78. I’m starting to love my previous modem (Actiontec Q1000) more, as it had a way to enable telnet and allowed me to use neat tools such as xdslctl to diagnose connectivity issues. Anyways, I have gone through all the web interface configuration pages and can find no such thing on my SBG7600AC2. I have searched the internet for results, apparently someone found there is a technician account with a password of the day. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get any combination to work. I contacted my ISP but they said they don’t set anything and didn’t know what I was talking about. Does anyone have any ideas?

Intermittent WiFi Disconnections SBG7600AC2

For the past week, the wifi has been terrible. Our phones/iPads keep disconnecting. All our smart home devices are fine and any hard-wired/ethernet-connected devices work just fine. Both of the wifi symbols (bottom two) on the device blink constantly. When I check Xfinity it says service/connection is fine. I’ve done multiple hard resets and still no change. The disconnect is random, too. Sometimes when I restart a device it will connect to the wifi, work for a bit, but then cut out. Other times no matter how many times I restart the device, it won’t connect to the wifi (prompts me for wifi password, which it then says is wrong when it isn’t). Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

transfer of equipment

My ex and I split up, his name was on the internet account so I had to deactivate and create my own account. I am still using the same Router/modem as before, but it will not connect to the new internet service. Do I have to deactivate something on the modem or do I need to transfer the equipment into my name also? If so, how do I go about doing this?

2.5 Ghz password issues SBG6950AC2

Out of the blue, the password for our 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi stopped working. All of our devices say “incorrect password” when trying to connect. 5G wireless still works with our normal previous password. We did not change the password for either band. We have tried logging into the modem interface or GUI but the default username and password don’t work. I don’t believe we changed those either. We have also tried holding down the reset button on the router several times, for up to a minute, and that hasn’t done anything to help. We are out of warranty so hoping we can find an answer here!  Arris Surfboard SBG6950AC2

Surfboard SBG7600AC2 rebooting on its own and intermittent connection

I have had an Arris Surfboard sbg7600ac2 for about the last 3 years, everything has been working fine until this morning.My connection kept dropping out on my connected devices and when I would go check the router, all the lights were off except power.It would restart and bring all lights back on, and all devices would connect then after a couple minutes it would turn off again and the modem would drop back to just the power light, then restart again. Over and over.I've unplugged the modem for several minutes then turned back on, same problem. I've reset the modem to factory settings, it works for a little longer then same problem. Running firmware 9.2.103AA85 Any help would be appreciated.

SBG7600AC2 Undisclosed Login Screen Operation Tab

Regarding SBG7600AC2, there is a login screen , which does not accept the user defined password. Moreover, the default login credentials do not match the default username and password in the user manual. Finally during factory reset, the credentials do not default to the default username and password in the user manual.To reproduce this screen,navigate to the usual 192.168.0.1 and click on the very top tab/link “Operation” found between “Configuration” and “Logout”.Questions:What is this log in screen and what are its credentials, and its default credentials?Why is there no mention of this in the user manual?How does one reset these login credentials?

Some home network connections are being forwarded to an external captive portal on BSG7600AC2

Not sure what’s going on but some connections to my home network are forwarding to an external captive portal site - connectivitycheck. I did not set this up. How do I stop this from happening? This is not a wifi hotspot - it’s my home network. Not every connection gets forwarded to the external site - only some of them. And this is not a wifi problem - the wifi connections in the router are working fine. It’s some of the ethernet connections that are getting forwarded. I know they are connected to the internet because they are bringing up that external page, but they show as not connected because that captive portal appears to be blocking the connection. I am on Xfinity and the external connectivitycheck captive portal is bringing up an xfinity login screen as if I was on a wifi hotspot, which I am not. But again, the wifi connections and some ethernet connections are working fine. And all connections show as connected via Advanced IP Scanner even if they are blocked by the portal.

Unable to access GUI web portal from any browser through hardwired on SBG7400AC2

The only change I made was factory reset. The Factory reset completed successfully. After reset the wifi SSID now reads ARRIS-2A8D, so I know it made some changes. I can access the iternet from this win11 desktop that is “wired.” But I cannot access Web Manager.  I haven’t used this modem router in 3 years, but my main router failed. I’m only using 2 ethernet cables. one coming from the outside fiber optic line that adapts to ethernet. Other ethernet cable is this plugged into this desktop. errorThis site can’t be reached192.168.0.1 took too long to respond.Try:Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall Running Windows Network DiagnosticsERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT I’ve tried downloading Arris surfBoard app on iPhone. I’ve tried scanning QR code on router/modem. invalid code the app says.I’ve tried other IPs, using command arp -aI’ve tried typing in password as the password. Do I have to use Coaxial cable to also connect? This router seems to be working as a hub like rout

SBG7400AC2 Wi-Fi intermittent internet speed

Modem rebooted the other day due to signal from WOW cable. Have 600mb download on wired, wifi averaging about 10mb. Wasn’t like that before the reboot. Also now can’t go further than 10’ away before signal drops. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Thoughts?.
