can not connext to remote work server

Have a SBG 8300 gateway and I am unable to connect to my work server. Internet connection is fine. I unfortunately have basically no understanding of how this works. My IT person says it’s a xfinity problem, xfinity says it’s a modem problem. Which I believe because I can log on everywhere but home.

sbg8300 doesn't see play-fi devices

Sbg8300 isn't recognizing the 2 play fi devices that worked fine with my previous router. I run the setup routine but they don't show up, have done factory resets on both devices. Am thinking there may be something in the surfboard setting preventing the discovery of them. Would appreciate any suggestions or insights. Thanks in advance.

Cannot add devices on parental control

When I go to Arris Surfboard in the router (SBG8300 btw), I go to parental controls to manage devices, all I get is the option to manage devices (which is enabled) or access type (which is set to allow all) and even when switching these, I still get no option to add and manage a device. Its also keeps giving me bad certificates when using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge where it gives me a risk warning when going to 192.168.0.1 and each one tells me my browser is out of date and not compatible, I dont know if this is the issue causing features to not work or not, but firmware and browsers are all updated. any solution?

Black captcha code on the surfboard central app and GUI page

Hi there, My friend recently purchased SBG8300 and I was helping her in setting up the device. During the process there was a security check and that was asking for a captcha code to type in, but it was blank, and no captcha is available. this was on the surfboard central app.when I tried completing it in 192.168.0.1 on the network set up wizard step 1, again there was a blank captcha code and was not able to complete the set up. I will appreciate if anyone can help me with this.

Itll load maybe 1 out of every 10 times, but I cannot get past the login page (192.168.0.1/login.php). I’ll get a page that says “this site can’t be reached”..Any ideas?

SBG8300 - drops internet connection and I have to reboot once a week

I have an SBG8300 modem/router connected to Cox cable. Last year it was working completely fine. Then I moved it to a new house - same Cox cable - but had to buy an aftermarket power cord from Amazon.Now the internet drops once a week and I have to reboot the modem (unplug and plug it back in) in order to get connectivity back up and running.Any ideas? Is the unit overheating? Is the aftermarket power cord causing issues? The modem/router is roughly 1.5 years old and for several months, wasn’t even being used.Thanks!

Need help getting Warranty replacement

5 months ago my brother-in-law purchased an Arris SBG8300 Modem/Router, which he understood would eliminate a monthly rental fee from Cox Cable. He has issues communicating so I advocate for him.The Arris Modem/Router worked fine for about a month and then started to degrade as far as buffering. When we called Arris Customer Support, we were told the problem was how Cox Cable set up the Modem/Router.My brother-in-law then had a Cox technician come over. After several tests, the technician concluded there was nothing wrong with the internet, that the buffering was in fact the Modem/Router.We then called Arris customer support back and was told to change some settings in the Modem/Router via the computer. The changes made no difference in the what was now constant buffering. When we called again, a different Arris customer service person would suggest the same settings as before.My brother-in-law then took the Modem/Router back to Best Buy, but was told he was past the return time, an

Why can't Windows connect to a custom network name?

We just bought the SBG8300 modem. I changed the network name from the factory setting of SBGnnnnnn to a custom network name and pw which is easier to remember and type in. My Mac connected to it with no problem, but the two PCs in the house always rejected the password. We finally had to select the secondary (guest) network with the unchanged network name and password. Why can’t the Windows computers connect to our custom-named network?

2.4 GHz keeps dropping on SBG8300

I tried switching to manual selection of 1,6 or 11 and all of them are not stable either.I moved many of wifi appliances to 5 GHz (which is very stable) as I thought there were too many appliances on 2.4 GHz. It helped for couple of weeks, but now it started dropping again.Is there limit to how many appliance I can connect to 2.4 GHz?
