A browser message on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Linux browsers may appear when accessing Web Manager on SURFboard gateway models SBG6400/SBG6580-2/SBG6700-AC/SBG6782-AC/SBG6900-AC.  The message includes 192.168.0.1 uses an unsupported protocol and ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH.  The Web Manager uses an earlier version of the TLS (Transport Layer Security protocol) protocol and does not match the version allowed by the web browser.   Safari browser on Apple PC and mobile devices are not impacted. The workaround to access the Web Manager with PC is to use Firefox browser and set the TLS to version 1.   We recommend to revert the TLS setting back to default after completing the Web Manager task. Set TLS version 1 in FirefoxEnter about:config in the Firefox address bar and press the Enter key. Click the Accept Risk and Continue button. Enter security.tls.version in the Search preference name field, .  Locate security.tls.version.min and click the pencil icon.  Enter the value

How to change username and password on SURFboard DOCSIS 3.1

Through my internet provider, I've got a SURFboard DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit cable mode & WiFi Router and need to change user name and password.  Tried the 192.168.0.1 web search and got a page with this address:   http://192.168.0.1/login.php.  Looked sketchy.  Thank you for the help!

What is the latest firmware update for SBG6782-ac?

I understand my ISP should update my firmware on my Sbg6782-ac.   I am curious as to how current my firmware is.My firmware currently is SBG6x82-8.6.0.0-GA-08-046-NOSH.  If current, just how old is it? 6 months or years ago?I dont seem to be getting the speeds I should be getting and get a lot of stops and starts.   I know I have had this modem for a long time…maybe I wore it out…

192.168.0.1 DOES NOT GO TO ADMIN PAGE ON ANY BROWSER onSBG6900-AC

Post after post after post says you cannot put 192.168.0.1 and get to the admin login page any more.  There used to be a Firefox work around and everyone keeps posting that as the solution.IT DOES NOT WORK.  No matter what browser I used including Safari IT WILL NOT WORK.Does ANYONE know how to login the modem as of today 12/29/2024?My modem is a SBG6900-AC but that doesn’t matter because based on the comments many different Arris modems are having the same problem.Unplugging it doesn’t work, factory resetting it doesn’t work.  NOTHING WORKS.And why isn’t Arris doing something about it.  Apparently no browser due to security reasons will let us log in to our modems because we have an old protocol or something.

Motorola Branded SBG6580 wireless settings locked out

One day, my router stopped showing up on the networks list, but the phone line it's tied to on the ethernet still works. I quickly verified the antenna wasn't working, so we used these  range extenders for a bit. They randomly dropped the connection all the time, so today I tried turning it on in settings, but when I go to any menu in the wireless section, my browser gives an ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. Is this some over-the-air mass brickery? Unlikely. Does anyone have any solutions?

Is DOCSIS 3.1 Allergic to Wifi & Voice Combo?

Is the lack of a DOCSIS 3.1 Modem-Router combo product with Wifi & Voice 1) an Arris marketing decision, i.e., too small of a market, 2) an Xfinity compatibility issue, or 3) an engineering task to great to integrate the features within 3.1?

make an app that is useful since connected device are not listing.

What about you make an app that’s useful? The current app doesn’t show connected devices. One has to connect to the web GUI to see the connected devices. Please hire someone competent to resolve the issue.  Best regards, Frustrated and disappointed Customer

Modem and Router recommendation

Hi Folks,Our current ISP provider is Xfinity (2000Mbps service) and we are presently using their Modem/Router. We are considering replacing their unit by procuring one of our own modem and router in order to reduce our monthly bills. Consequently, we are using this medium to ascertain your assistance on what modem you would recommend as suitable for our application. Kindly note that we are interested in separate units i.e modem/router and which are wifi7 compatible.

The enterprise-customized router firmware is difficult to use, and the user lacks permissions; it’s practically a half-finished product.

The company uses a Zyxel EX5501 (as labeled), but it's running Arris firmware (likely a dreadful carrier-customized version), which is extremely difficult to use. It doesn’t allow changing the WiFi name or password, only functions as an AP, can’t assign IP addresses, and the backend is very hard to access—I had to search through a ton of resources online just to get in. Worst of all, the upgrade page only allows firmware uploads smaller than 8MB. This isn’t a half-finished product; it’s junk. How can I flash it back to the original Zyxel firmware?

cannot login to customize wifi on SBG6700-AC

I have reset to factory settings on the router (192.168.0.1), I have used both ‘admin’ and my username with the wifi password, I have used both Chrome and Safari browers, I have deleted my cache and cookies, and NOTHING IS WORKING. And it’s maddening I cannot talk to an actual human….almost worth it to change routers all together

Arris 1602 best possible security for wifi

I’m helping my in-laws increase the security on their wi-fi network.  These two are 97 and 100 years old.  I think it’s unlikely that they can move to better security but I was a software guy, not a network person.  Can someone advise me please. You’ll have my gratitude and the gratitude of a man who landed on Omaha beach.  Thank you.I suspect that a new modem is a better option but these two don’t manage change well.  So if I can make their network more secure it would be easier.
