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.

Router NVG578LX: how to turn on 2.4GHz with wireless IEEE802.11b/g/n standards

Hi all,I am using an ARRIS router model NVG578LX provided by an internet provider.I need some help on how to turn on the 2.4GHz channel with wireless IEEE802.11b/g/n standards.It is because my desktop doesn’t have a built in wifi adapter hence I have to use an Edimax usb which only works with the IEEE802.11b/g/n standards.I have successfully turned on the 2.4GHz separated from the combine channel (the primary). I also tried turn on and off the 5Ghz. Unfortunately, the Edimax usb couldn’t find (see) the 2.4GHz network.Noting that:All the phones and laptops can find/see and access to the 2.4GHz.  I also tried to turn on the Guess wifi with 2.4Ghz (but the Edimax coudn’t find/see the network). the Edimax usb still can see other network providers from the neighbours surrounding.  the Edimax usb worked well with the previous internet provider using a different router (not from ARRIS) but only when I turned on the IEEE802.11b/g/n standards using the settings. it seems this is the key issue.

wifi and Ethernet addresses not communicating SBG6900

the issue here is that the router's Ethernet and WiFi addresses can't communicate with each other, which is why the NAS and the WiFi currently can't connect, I need the  router to figure out how to get the WiFi and Ethernet subnets to talk to each other, whether that's setting them on the same subnet altogether, or enabling some sort of bridge, etc.How to do this??

surfboard sbg6700-ac xfinity activation popup on AT&T service

I am trying to hookup my modem to a coax circuit that already has service and a modem with AT&T. AT&T support has said that I should be able to hook the modem up and it will work. However I am getting an Xfinity activation pop-up, which is the ISP I had previously.I am not sure what the issue could be, but can these modems be pre-programmed for a specific ISP? I bought this a while ago and do not remember what I had done at the time.If this is just not possible to do then that would be helpful info as well.

Surboard 7580 shows i am in china and not north carolina

My surfboard router (7580) shows i am in HK/China and not North Carolina.  This started a couple of months ago.  I have unplugged and rebooted, but cannot solve this issue.  It is mostly evident when using a chrome browser.  However, if i go to any other location my devices do show North Carolina.  Is there a simple fix for this?

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
