SBG8300

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

how do I assign 2.4g to one device and 5g to another

Carrier thermostat won’t stay connected to the wifi. Is there a setting on a Surfboard 8300 that I need to change?

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?

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?

I find I keep losing my 5G module forcing me to restart my router as often as twice per week, is it my unit or are there others with the same issue?

Does the SBG8300 have a fuse? If so, what is the size and value? Thank you.

When trying to setup a Forwarded Port in the Router Gateway Application (login successful and all services functioning and identified), I choose connected device from the “Select a device to add IPv4 and IPv6 address” button… the fields are populated automatically by the Router program, and then I enter the port number in the start and end port boxes, then hit Save…An Alert popup box appears with “Please use only alphanumeric characters”.Even if I populate the boxes with manual keyboard entry, I receive the same result.I have tried to use the mobile phone web GUI version of the Router Gateway, and receive the same result as I have described above (using the Computer CPU to add the new Port Forward service.HELP?!

New SBG8300 connects perfectly to 2 cell phones, 2 laptops and 1 tablet, using the 5G SSID.  Canon printer detects  the 2.4G SSID as well as the 2.4G Guest SSID, but not the 5G SSID.  Please advise if there is a solution for this.ThanksSteve O

I have SBG8300  router from my ISP.  I generally login to their router page to enable wi-fi ( normally it is in disabled mode). By mistake I clicked  Bridge mode button though I don’t even know what the bridge mode is.  Now I can’t login to the http://192.168.100.1 at all.   The browser URL shows https://192.168.100.1/wizard_step1.php  and runs for ever.  How will I be able to login to router settings.  I appreciate any help. internet is working normally. But whatsapp message refresh is taking forever saying  “Wiating for this message. This may take  a while

I have the SBG8300 and the surfboard central app, I want to setup some reserved IP address for some of my devices but I don’t see that option in the app. How do I reserve IP addresses for my 8300?

I own an SBG8300 but recently bought a new router that provided better Wi-Fi coverage so I put it in bridge mode so I wouldn’t have two Wi-Fi signals broadcasting.  When I did that however, I noticed that the ethernet ports stopped working.  When I disabled bridge mode from the SBG8300 the ethernet ports started working again.  Does anyone know of a work around for this?
