Resolving Intermittent Cable Modem Connection Loss During High Traffic

Hi everyone,I’m facing issues to  access my network router's settings at 192.168.0.1. My Wi-Fi connection is stable, but I can’t reach the router’s admin page to make configuration changes. I’ve tried different browsers and cleared the cache, but the page still won’t load. I’ve also checked that the router is correctly connected and powered on. give me suggestions to solve my issuse .Thank you.

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?

DG3450 slows to a crawl

Wifi starts out really well (350mbps) then after a while it consistently drops  to a crawl  (~10MBPS ). See below, there is something very wrong with my Internet. Thousands of attempts within minutes (average of 6200).  Once I disconnect from wifi and reconnect, it goes back to normal speed until its gone… all over again to a crawl and repeat every few hours.  Advice appreciated

SBG6580 - Unbale to access the GUI page, it shown as invalid password.

I found a post from someone having the same exact problem. The answer didn't help.I had a power problem recently,  and when fixed,  my network was showing 'Motorola' as a network name. I tried connecting my tablets to it and they connected no pronlem. But then I noticed under security it said 'none'. I powered it still the same. Finially, did a hard reset. Got back original name. Got  tablets, and phone online. Then tried to access the web manager. Logged in using admin & Motorola. Took me to 'change password' page I entered admin, and motorola, and new password'Oops! Invalid current user/password'. I've tried motorola,  the wifi key, with and without spaces.I've tried another hard reset. Power reset, and finally, ANOTHER hard reset.I manage to get to the change password page no problem. But no matter what I enter for user name and password, I get 'Oops! Invalid current user/password'Pulling my hair out here.I broke down and ordered a SBG8300 today. Since Xfinity upgraded my servic

No internet on SBG6700-AC

Hello. I have two printers that keep going offline. I can un & replug them and they are fine except for one that I have to do it a couple of times.  The printer manufacturer said I need to “split the frequencies” (see below for the rest) but told me that Arris is not capable of that.  Is that true?  I am not working so I can’t buy a newer modem nor rent it from my Internet provider.  My Internet provider said since I have my own equipment that I can’t do it. Any help is appreciated!  make sure 2 frequencies of my network are divided   one name for 2.4 network (2G)     one name for the 5g
