internet keeps going in and out on SBG8300

Over the last couple days, my internet keeps going in and out. I had cox come out and they tested everything on their end and said nothing is wrong. Being that my modem is less than 2 years old, he thought maybe it hasn’t been updating. How can I check on this?

Not getting full download speed with xfinity with sbg8300

I just purchased a SBG8300 and I have xfinity 1GB plan. I previously was using an sbg6950ac2. We are direct connecting via ethernet.With the old modem, we were getting speeds of around 400 MBS using comcast speed test so we decided to upgrade. However, with the new modem we are only getting around 150MBS. We tried multiple devices and different cables. Interestingly I am getting around 350MBS using my galaxy phone using wifi…Comcast of course says they are not the problem and that I should contact the manufacturer of the modem. Any suggestions?

Bought SBG8300 for Comcast 1.2Gigabit Plan, Slower Speeds than before

Man,From everything Im reading on this forum and Xfinity forums, I really should have thought sixteen times over about getting this model.So:Looking for some suggestions here. I am a gamer, Xbox One Series X, PS5, Switch, you name it. I was not getting the speed I wanted to stream and game with friends, etc. I was paying Xfinity for one of their basic router modem combos and had the 800mbps plan. Surprisingly it was really decent speeds for that plan but my upload was capped and it was causing lag in certain situations. I bought the new router (SBG8300 which was listed as a compatible device) but Im not getting anywhere near the 1.2gbs and now Im hearing it doesn’t truly support the gigabit plans from individuals on here. Im thinking of returning this router tomorrow and getting a better model. Any suggestions on models? I am getting like 250-300mbps on direct ethernet (expensive double braided ethernet), and seems like better speeds over 5ghz wifi. But I was getting 750mbps on my old

8300 VPN not functional due to older firmware

Arris SBG8300 as provided does not allow VPN pass-thru.  There is article (link below) that provides direction how to do so.  But this requires newer firmware version 01.02.078.04.NCS or later to enable via ALG sub-menu. My box has earlier firmware 1.01.137.NCS which does not have the ALG menu.  Thus I cannot enable VPN.Arrris support says contact my ISP (Spectrum) to push new firmware.BUT: Spectrum doesn’t have the new firmware; they say that Arris has not provided any updates since the 1.01 version.SO: caught in nowhere land, cannot use VPN.  The link below is helpful ONLY if you have firmware 1.02.078 or later; if you do not, then apparently SOL??Anyone else having this issue?  Any work-around?? Link below that helps if you have proper firmware:http://arris.force.com/consumers/articles/General_FAQs/SBG8300-VPN-Passthrough-Setup

SBG8300 Ethernet Port Speed

On my SBG8300l what would cause a single Ethernet port to deliver 10/100 while the other three deliver gigabit speeds? With Xfinity Speed Test, Ports 1, 3, and 4 deliver 250Mbps+ download, but Port 2 delivers a maximum of 92Mbps.

Internet dropping multiple times a day- SBG8300

Upgraded to the SBG8300 a few weeks ago.  First couple of weeks went flawlessly then started having issue with internet dropping.  Talked to Xfinity, no issues shown on their end.  Did factory reset on the SBG8300, still having intermittent dropping issues.  Power cycling the modem brings everything back online until the next instance (could be hours between occurrences).   Pulled event logs from today’s drop at 9:21

How to enable parental control on SBG8300

I have the same problem with the 8300 model.   I don’t have access to the devices I want to block so can’t adjust parental control settings or address settings and they seem to continue to connect even if I change the passwords and reboot. Also the surfboard app shows devices connected to a different channel than what they are logged in on.

SBG8300 wifi password changed now wifi not working

I used the 192.168.0.1 to access my Arris SBG8300 Admin dashboard to change my wifi passwords. I wqs able to successfully change 1 PW for my 2.4G but as soon as it changed I lost wifi and access to the portal. I called xfinity to aak them to relink my modem using the new PW but they said “not my problem” basically and that bc I don't have an xfinity modem they don't have access to help. I need to get access back to my admin and reset my login PW too bc I realized I may have done all this wrong. So essentially I changed 1 wifi PW when I have several attached to my account ie: 5G, guest accts etc. So I’m at a loss on what to do bc none of my devices will now log back into admin. When I try I get the “ safari, couldn’t open the page because the server stopped responding” error every time. Help!!!!

SBG8300 parental control issue

I understand how to enter in websites and/or words to be blocked via the parental control using my Arris SBG8300.  I understand making sure blocking is enabled and/or entering times for blocking.  But I have a few issues I can't figure out how to solve.   Issue #1 (and most important):Most websites I enter are blocked, but some I have entered are not blocked.  For example, I need to block redgifs.com and youtube.com.  These, along with a few more explicit sites, still are accessible on my kid’s school issued chromebooks. Issue #2I would like to delete or edit some of the websites I have previously entered to be blocked, but when I click on Edit or the trash can icon, I get an error message (500 - Internal Server Error). Issue #3Sometimes when I log into Parental Controls, the number of blocked websites is changed.  Some are missing.  Is there a limit I don’t know about?  I have unplugged my SBG8300 for 5 minutes at a time, restarted everything (including computers) a number of times, b

Arris SBG8300 stopped broadcasting 2.4 GHz band

I have a Arris SBG8300 DOCSIS3.1 Modem Router. I had separate bands for WiFi, one 2.4 GHz and other 5 GHz. Both used to show up on wifi settings for connection. For the past two days I don’t see 2.4 GHz band anymore. I seldom see the 2.4 GHz band but when I try to join that network, I get the message “Couldn’t join network”. I have smart devices which use 2.4 GHz band and since 2.4 GHz is no more available, all the smart devices are useless. I have tried restarting the modem. I have also done a factory reset but 2.4 GHz band does not show.Any help is appreciated.
