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 Firefox

  1. Enter about:config in the Firefox address bar and press the Enter key.
  2. Click the Accept Risk and Continue button.
  3. Enter security.tls.version in the Search preference name field, . 
  4. Locate security.tls.version.min and click the pencil icon. 
  5. Enter the value 1 and press the Enter key.
  6. Open a new tab to access the Web Manager at http://192.168.0.1.  
  7. It is highly recommended to revert the TLS version back to default.  Go to the Advance Preference tab and then click the left arrow next to the pencil icon to set security.tls.version.min back to default.

I have the exact same problem with my ARRIS G-34 Router/Modem and tried the FF security fix but does not resolve the issue.

 

I’ve owned many routers and modems over the last 30 years but this is the first ever experienced and should never happen with modern hardware. I’ll try again using the FF v63.03 and if that doesn’t work will return this piece of junk that cost over $200 and will never buy another ARRIS product.

It is the same problem in Safari 16.4 (18615.1.26.11.23) as in Chrome.

Are you going to release a permanent fix for the SSL issues on SBG6580-2, or this is never going to be resolved? (I do not know if this modem supports a firmware upgrade at all)

This is a problem on Mac too.  I can just about get past the username and password using Safari, but then I get to this page where I cannot do anything - the only links that work take me to the Arris webpage.

The firefox work around does not work any more.  No matter what browser I use I cannot get to the admin login by typing in 192.168.0.1

Does anyone have any other ideas?

They have marked this as solved and it is NOT solved.  They keep putting up the same useless answer and then mark it solved.
