Unable to login on the Surfboard Central App

Recently bought a SURFboard 5G7600AC2. When I try to activate SURFboard Central on my iPhone SE 2020 and iPad Mini 5 I get error message “Wi-Fi Communication Error” even though I’m connected to the Internet on both devices. Have spoken with two ARRIS technical support agents and neither one could figure out what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SBG7600AC2 lifespan?

Is there a general consensus what the lifespan of a router is? I’m ok with the speed but I get random interruptions in my devices which causes them to reset poorly. I only know it to be true because I have alexa that really gets thrown when it loses connection. I have had the   SBG7600AC2 for a few years now and while I wish it had a little more range, I can see thats is not the problem since the lights go out on the modem themselves. I love the combo units that save me from renting from xfinity. house is about 1700 square feet. Lets say I do upgrade to SURFboard G34  that is currently on sale. if someone was to recommend a extender to help me boost the signal to the further away echos and give me a decent signal outback, what would you recommend? oh also idk why but every once in awhile with my new computer I have to restart it to get internet from the Ethernet port. I find it weird I can connect ot wifi but I figure thats more on my computer then it is is the router/modem combo.

admin password issue

I just installed my new Surfboard 7600 and all is working fine and the app works fine.  During the setup process the app generated a complex password for the admin user which I have a copy of.However when I go to the web interface and try to login as the admin user it says that either the password is bad or there were too many failed logins.How do I get the web interface login to admin to work? Thanks

Moving from central to legacy app.

I got a reply for a possible solution to my problem of moving from central to the Legacy app.  However now when I went to the app now it is going through steps for activation to get device up and running.  It is asking for service provider to connect to them.  This is all happening.  The router is connected to Xfinity already.All I wanted to accomplish with this new app was to see if there needs to have and updates or whatever.

issues connecting to xfinity

We have been using our Arris modem for over two years works great. We recently switched to tmobile from Xfinity.  We disconnect the service.  It's been just a month and we switched back because tmobile was dropping and services spotty.We are now with Xfinity. They say everything thing is set up.on their end. Gave them the serial number and Mac address.  While I can see the modem and connect,  it won't connect to the internet.  It does not seem to be communicating with Xfinity.  Does anyone have any ideas o what I can try?

Just got my SBG6950AC2 activated (through Cox)! But...

It does not seem to like me so far. I just got everything set up–I followed the instructions to a ‘T’. I downloaded the app, went through the steps, got connected to the network, but I am still receiving error messages like “The Wi-Fi network does not appear to be connected to the Internet” and “No Internet Connection.” On the Surfboard app, I received a “Cannot connect your Home Network. Configuration failed for your router” error message. The kind lady over at Cox helped me troubleshoot as much as she could, but ultimately directed me over to Arris. What do I do? Is this something I can fix or am I just better off calling customer support? Thanks!

Blocking Devices with parent control: the blocked day/time feature isn't working

I was able to select an ‘end time’ each day for my son and his laptop, in the past several weeks it won’t work. I can completely block his access by using the ‘block’ feature, however, when I try to chose specific times for the device to be blocked (eg 2100-2359), it doesn’t work.   Thanks for reading - I appreciate thoughts/feedback - I went through the forum and verified I am using the feature correctly based on the tutorial pages, so I am not sure what my next steps are.

moving from surfboard legacy to central.

I am trying to move from legacy to central and do not know what I am doing.  We have the SBG7600AC2.  We have had it for 3 years now and don’t know what kind of maintenance should be done on it.Going through the setup I get to screen that asks if you have previously installed Legacy app and am asked to migrate and I continue.  However I cannot connect to home network.  I get an error message-0015-1805.  I have no idea what to do next.  I could really use some help because this is really frustrating.thanks

Can't access the admin login on Arris SB SBG7400. I was able to earlier in the day with the generic user name & the password I created & then later nothing. I tried resetting the unit, that didn’t work. I saw several other questions raised about this issue. I’m using Google Chrome.

Frustrating experience with SURFboard SGB7600AC2

I tried replacing my rental modem/router/wifi with a SGB7600AC2 and it did not go well.  After informing my cable provider that I wished to use my own modem, they asked me for relevant info about my new modem.  I gave them make/model and MAC info.  My old modem stopped working at which time I plugged in the new one.  I waited 15-20 minutes.  Eventually the default wifi SSID showed up and I connected to it and then connected to the surfboard.  It was at this point that things went sideways.  I could browse some sites on the Internet but not others.  It sort of felt like I was in a walled garden.  However, it finally dawned on me that I was able to reach IPv6 sites (like Facebook) but not sites which only used IPv4 (which happens to be about 75% of the sites that I frequent).  In any case, after looking through the settings and logs, etc, I discovered that the modem was not requesting an IPv4 address via DHCP even though it was configured for DHCP.  I was getting a /60 IPv6 prefix via pr
