Question

Every night my internet goes out.

Outages happen on a fairly frequent basis for a few minutes up to around an hour but, the last couple of nights it's been for around 6 hours or more.

It is not my equipment.

I have tried bypassing my router.

Connecting the Motorola SURFboard® SB6121 modem directly to my computer.

I have also tried another working modem.

 

The lights on both modems act the same.

            Green ON: Indicates power to the modem is properly connected

            Green ON: Indicates a downstream (receive data) channel connection

            Blue flashing: upstream (send data) channel

            Not lit: No Internet connectivity

            Blue flashing: computer/router is connected to the Ethernet 1000Base-T mode

Periodically the lights indicate a checking sequence,

            Green 

            Green

            Green

            Green flashing

            Blue flashing  

then returns to the combination stated above indicating no Internet connectivity.

After about 6 hours or more the lights return to normal:

            Green

            Green

            Blue

            Green

            Blue flashing

Internet service resumes without my taking any actions nor making any changes.

 

I can see no reason for this to be the result of anything on our end. Everything is working fine, then no internet. Internet resumes without having done anything. It's almost as if they turn us off and then turn us back on later.

 

I have a log to upload if that helps.

This is why I don’t like using support forums…

“Could you help us with the product’s model number to assist you further?”

I stated the model number in the first paragraph of my request.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but the Motorola SURFboard® SB6121 is no longer supported by ARRIS. We recommend reaching out to your internet service provider for further assistance.

For your information ARRIS supports only the retail products that are available on surfboard.com but not the ISP lease products.
