Why does my SBG6782-AC hung and needs reboot every two days

I’ve been using my SBG6782-AC gateway with Xfinity cable (300Mb/10Mb) for several years without needing any reboots. I’ve noticed in the last three months my gateway would get hung about every two days--all the front-panel lights stay lid and all wifi connections dropped--and the only solution is to recycle power to the gateway. Does anyone have this problem? I’m wondering if the circuit board is dying and some electronic components need to be replaced. I’m using both wired and n/ac wifi mode. Looking at the modem logs revealed no clues.Thanks for any insights.

Browsing History

I am replacing a Touchstone TG1682G Telephony Gateway modem / router from Spectrum with a new Spectrum modem. On older modems and roouters I was able to go in and clear the browing history before returning it to spectrum, Wanted to know if this modem keeps a wifi browsing history and if so how can I can I clear it. I have gone in and cleared the system logs, but didn’t know if that is all I need to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

SBG-901 Modem Wi-Fi disconnects periodically

I have observed the Wireless LED blinking on and off several times and all others are off during normal operation.  Modem will automatically reboot successfully after that happens.  This has been happening quite often lately.  Attached is the latest event log.

VMS1100 and IPC1100 STB’s

I have two VMS1100 media servers and four IPC1100 STB’s with my Verizon FIOS account.Each media server had two client STB’s assigned to it automatically.Main implication is that any recording requested via the STB in then automatically recorded on the paired DVR.My question is whether the assignment (pairing) of the clients to server can be revised?

Can't Access Admin Portal / 192.168.0.1. Error uses an unsupported protocol. ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

I can’t connect to the admin portal to configure my arris SBG6782. Every browser now blocks TSL 1.0 which the modem uses for the admin portal. There’s no longer a way to continue past or allow access to an insecure page.  This is a common issue as the below users all have the same issue. Forum and chat support only direct to restart the modem, factory reset, and or disconnect / reconnect the coaxial cable, none of which fix the problem.

Arris AM525 Wifi Won't Accept WAP Key

We have Frontier FiOS with an Arris NVG468MQ router.  We recently dropped FiOS TV (and Frontier is dropping it everywhere), kept Frontier FiOS internet but added basic Spectrum (copper).  We have an Arris AM525 to extend Wifi to the opposite end of the house but when the Spectrum folks hooked up the TV they just disconnected it.  We have crappy Wifi at that end of the house again so I plugged the co-ax back in and it seemed to fire up good.  When I did a Wifi analyzer the signal strength was off the charts.  But now we cannot log into the Wifi from there.  We can see the Wifi network, the signal strength is super strong, but it absolutely will not accept the WAP key.  WAP key works with other extenders but absolutely not with that.  Tried with several devices and with my cell phone, will not connect.  Not sure why we can see the Wifi network but cannot log into it now.  There is a WAP key on the AM525 but it will not accept that either.  Not a networking expert but not sure if there is

Arris DG9450 port fowarding

I have a arris DG9450 that was issued by my service provider. The issue is to play some of my games I need to open ports to allow me to do so but I haven't found a tutorial online that is set up like my modem also when I called customer support they couldn't help. The solution for them was to go look at Google and YouTube and pay $5 for a nat access. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this router so I can get everything running.

Losing DNS 5-10x per day (SBR AC1750)

I’ve been using a SBR AC1750 WiFi Router for 5 years now.  Lately it has been “losing DNS”, and it’s getting worse.  I now have to restart it 5-10 times per day.  I’ve spent hours with my ISP’s tech support and changed out my cable modem, and there has been no improvement.  This makes me wonder if my WiFi router is the problem.It doesn’t matter which DNS server I’m using (ISP vs google vs cloudflare).  But I randomly lose the ability to resolve DNS.  If I know an IP address, I can still communicate with it (ping, streaming video, skype, etc) during the outage. This happens on multiple computers simultaneously.  The only way I’ve found to fix things is to reboot my WiFi Router (and possibly cable modem - I’ll experiment with this soon).  My firmware seems to be up-to-date.Has anyone heard of this?  Or have any suggestions on a fix?  Thanks

SBG6580-2 Wi-Fi security key not working

Our devices are no longer connected to our Surfboard SBG6580-2, and when we try to reconnect for internet service, we are told that we have an incorrect password. We have used the Wi-Fi security key that came with the Surfboard all of this time. We’ve reset the Surfboard, including the 30-30-30 reset, and also had Comcast reset it, but we’re still unable to connect. Any solutions to this problem?
