the rated voltage and current of sbg8300

I need to replace the ac adapter for the sbg 8300, but the materials that came with the modem/router don’t say what the device’s rated voltage and current are. Seems like the ac adapter would need to be 12 volts and 2 amps, but I used an ac adapter with those specs with this device and that adapter got fried and stopped working. Is there more information I need to select the right adapter? Can someone please confirm the ac adapter and/or voltage and current specs for the sbg8300 so I can make sure to order the correct replacement? Looks like Arris doesn’t offer ac adapters, just uses third-party ones. I want to make sure it’s compatible and pricing and info for ac adapters is all over the place and inconsistent. Please help!

SBG8300 Blue lights blink 5 times then nothing after lightening

I know the SBG8300 is an older unit, but it has served me well for several years. It is powered via a large APC UPS so it is not connected directly to utility AC. I hard-wire (ethernet cable) my modem->desktop to maximize internet performance (Xfinity). Event: I was working online during a thunderstorm with LOTS of lightening. In a moment, my internet connection failed. I looked at my modem and it was DARK. My UPS was nominal and my desktop and other accessories were operating normally. I tried unplugging the Arris modem and waited 30 seconds to reboot. Immediately upon restoring power to the modem I noticed BOTH BLUE lights blink 5 times then the modem went dark again. I tired a hardware reset (small hole in back of unit) and received the same result. I tried unplugging then restoring power again and got the 5 blue blinks then dark again. An exhaustive search for this troubleshooting indication was fruitless. I suspect an electrical surge found its way up the COAX cable which fried th

Changing guest passwords for SBG8300 Access

I can’t login using the password that I just created when I did a hard reset to get to the pages to change my guest wifi passwords for security purposes. I have an Arris SBG8300 I did two hard resets now to try to solve it and it skips the username creation item and goes straight to the create a password and reenter password page which I completed. I then changed the name and passwords of my primary daily Wifis - but to access the guest wifi band pages - I need to login using the account info...On that side, it’s saying that I’m putting incorrect credentials (“admin” and my new password). I tried the new password from the initial steps, the new primary daily wifi password, and the number password on the back of router, I tried resetting the router again and doing it all again and no success….I validated they were all correct multiple times. Is there another username other than “admin”, perhaps? Thanks in advance!

sbg8300 intermittent internet connection.

It's random. But, my modem looses both 2.4 and 5g connection. Randomly. Hardwire works fine. Usually resetting modem temporarily fixes problem. But, it can happen anytime. 1 day, 1 hour or even a few days later. Sometimes multiple times a day. My dad has same modem and never has this problem!

Device not connecting on SBG8300

I have an SBG8300. The 2.4 and 5 G bands have been separated. I have 15 smart home devices connected to the 2.4, most of which work just fine (the ones that don’t are FEIT bulbs and outlets, which I have been told is a FEIT app problem. These problem devices randomly show offline). I recently bought a new device (a grill/smoker) but despite there being a full 5 signal bars, it won’t connect (it also requires the 2.4). The smoker will connect to my phone via hotspot, so the smoker manufacturer states it’s an issue with the router. But what that could be is anyone’s guess. So, anyone have a guess on what the problem could be? Thank you.

SBG8300 indicators are solid green, but no Internet

My SBG8300 modem/router has worked fine with Xfinity for a month+, but now provides no Internet access even though both status lights are solid green and Xfinity shows no outage and good connection to the modem. I have tried disconnecting the cable from the wall and modem during several restart attempts, but the problem persists.

Surfboard SBG8300 and Xfinity connectivity issues

Hello. I am using an SBG8300 to connect to Xfinity. Most of the time it works just fine, but several times lately the download speed has dropped from 45-50 Mbps to under 5Mbps. If I unplug the modem, wait a couple of minutes, and plug it back in, everything returns to normal. The Xfinity service doesn’t appear to be the issue. Any idea what this could be. I purchased the modem less and a year ago, so it’s still under warranty. The last time I’m aware of it happening was last Wednesday and Thursday, but I was away over the weekend. It hasn’t happened today, as far as I can tell. I’ve downloaded the logs from the model administrator panel. How do I proceed from here getting technical/warranty support? Thanks.

SB8300 Connection Drops Every Hour

As the title says, every hour at nearly the exact same time my connection drops for ~1-3 minutes. Has been happening for roughly a month. Drops both wifi and ethernet connections. Only device connected is the PC. I had a cox technician tell me to my face it was from ‘overheating’ on a router that had worked just fine in warmer conditions, nevertheless the signal drops like clockwork and not spontaneous heat problems. Have also set all ‘lease duration’ settings to forever. This set of logs is from today, where the two at 11:53 correspond to (I think) when my PC was first on (the only device connected) on, and today all disconnections have happened at xx:53. Any help is appreciated, but I’d like to make good on my active warranty as this device is <1 year old and getting a new device would silence at lot of likely bogus suggestions I’ve received so far.
