User questions & answers

Question:	Does all the Ethernet ports on the back work at the same time or is it just one
Answer:	Yes, since this device is a gateway, you can use the 4 ethernet ports simultaneously
Question:	is this compatible with suddenlink 1GB plan
Answer:	This device is not listed on Suddenlink's website as an approved device with its service. Please call them to verify the compatibility
Question:	Does this router allow for remote managment
Answer:	Yes but actually no. You can look up reviews for the app on the playstore. The best why to use the app is to delete it. It causes way more problems then fixes
Question:	Currently we have a dpc3941t modem, and we are having problems watching got without system pausing. will or could this higher speed device help
Answer:	Yes would help, but possibly you need to upgrade your internet speed. This is a modem/router combo so takes up less space and will handle up to 1000mbps so plenty of room to grow if you decide to upgrade internet speed. With Comcast/Xfinity this works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between this modem, the SB6183, and the SB
Answer:	The SB6180 enables channel bonding of up to 8 downstream channels and 4 upstream channels, which allows an operator to offer their customers advanced multimedia services with data rates of well over 300 Mbps in DOCSIS mode and 400 Mbps in EuroDOCSIS mode for downstream and 120 Mbps upstream. The SB6183 has 16 download & 4 upload channels. Download speeds up to 686 Mbps and upload speeds up to 131 Mbps based on your Cable provider service. That is the main difference I could find. I hope it helps.
Question:	do most users need such a fast cable modem? I have comcast performance....is this over kill or futureproofing with docis 3.1 on horizaen
Answer:	DOCSIS 3.1 is here, true. And the first set of cable modems using the standard will offer some improvements. As with many technologies, they don't saturate the market overnight. In most cases the availability and maturity of a technology in the marketplace can take years - as much as 3 to 5 years. Even if 15 to 20 percent of the market goes to DOCSIS 3.1 in the first or second year, that says 80 percent hasn't. Future proofing your technology is nice, but a measure of sensibility should be used too. I went to the ARRIS SB6183 knowing that my ISP service is 200 Mbps. It allows a considerable cushion for growth. If my ISP's average speeds jumped to 500 Mbps, and I were to consider another cable modem upgrade, I would focus on a faster cable modem that uses the DOCSIS 3.1 standard or any newer and more powerful standard - allowing me to benefit from the latest standards and speeds. The DOCSIS 3.0 standard may well be nearing its End-of-Life in 2 to 3 years. Therefore, I would see no value going to a 1.4 Gbps DOCSIS 3.0 modem.
Question:	Does ARRIS/Motorola support firmware upgrades for the 6183 via downloads to the consumer's computer
Answer:	The Cable Operators (MSOs) have complete control of what cable modem/gateway hardware they will allow installed and the firmware it uses, on their cable plant. This means anything directly connected to the cable plant (COAX) in your house. They do this to ensure that nothing happens to anyone upstream from your connections. Cable Operators follow the DOCSIS Specifications that control this methodology of firmware upgrades as well as providing security for the firmware upgrades. Cable Operators also run both the products and firmware through their own test cycles to approve any manufacturers' modems, wireless gateways, and the associated firmware updates for deployment. This is not an ARRIS only implementation, but the required implementation of any cable device manufacturer. After an MSO has tested and approved a new version of firmware for a cable device, they will then "push" that new firmware out to the devices. So upgrades to the modem firmware will be made automatically but you cannot download them to your computer and perform the upgrade yourself.
Question:	I purchased this item almost 8 weeks ago 8 August 2014 will i receive this item in my lifetime or will i need to leave this item in my will for my kid
Answer:	Purchased SB6183 a week ago, My invoice says estimated shipping between Oct 1 to 10th. What was your estimate date? If i don't see any update by Oct5th i'm going to cancel my order and stick with SB6141.

User questions & answers

Question:	It seems impossible to connect a display via usb-c. use thunderbolt usb-c for video, then you can't charge the macbook air. why
Answer:	The SBG7600AC2 USB 2.0 port supports connected hard drives with SAMBA and DLNA Media Sharing. In addition to supporting USB 2.0 hard drives, the USB port can be used as a charging connection for mobile devices. Note that the USB port does NOT support Internet connection.
Question:	Received today and it is not new. already unwrapped. how do i return to get a new one, like i ordered? or get discount for receiving an open box item
Answer:	Contact Amazon for return and replacement.
Question:	Has anyone noticed their wifi will cut out randomly with this product throughout the day
Answer:	Yes, this is happening increasingly. I bought about 3 months ago. The problem started maybe a couple of weeks later. Now, it’s multiple time, every day. The provider company says they can’t fix. Arris said I was only getting 1 upstream channel, instead of 3. And that was the cause of the intermittent WiFi. You can check your status by typing 192.168.100.1 in browser. Scroll down past your downstream list to see your upstream list. Each line represents a channel. An Arris rep also told me to ask for a ‘tier 1 supervisor’ at the internet provider company. Otherwise, they won’t know how to assist you. That’s where I’m at now. They’re sending a tech out to check everything. I’m just not sure they can fix my upstream problem. We shall see.
Question:	It's impossible to get a true perspective of this modem/router because the reviews and questions are for many Arris products. How is this possible
Answer:	I have Optimum as my ISP and my Arris modems have been very reliable. I had an Arris TM822A that worked perfectly since 2013. I wanted to stop leasing so I purchased the Arris SB6183 as an upgrade and it is working fine for the last 2 weeks. I would only buy one of two Arris. The SB6183 (16x4) or the SB8200 (32x8). I would not buy the Arris SB6190 /TM602/TM1672) or anything with a Puma 6 chipset. The Puma 6 chipset from Intel has a defect that firmware has still not fixed. You can google that chipset to see the issues with latency. If the Arris works with your cable company, I don't see an issue buying one of the two mentioned. BTW, the two are modems only, no router or telephone connection.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this device serve as a MoCA adapter and/or MoCA router? I assume I purchase additional MoCA adapters for other areas of the home
Answer:	No it will not work with Comcast Triple play with phone, for that I would recommend ARRIS DOCSIS 3.0 Residential Gateway with 802.11n/ 4 GigaPort Router/ 2-Voice Lines for Comcast (TG862G-CT). But one thing is that it is only a n wireless. Now you could get Arris Tm722g Cable Modem Docsis 3.0 and add a wireless AC router. I did try Arris SBG6782-ac, but I had issue with moca connection and returned it. Now I have an ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with a Cisco wireless ac router and hooked up my TIVO mini via Ethernet. Works great and I would recommend TIVO over Comcast X1 DVR. I love the option to be able to skip commercials on most recorded shows. Also love the 4 tuner and access to apps like Netflix, Amazon video, Hulu, YouTube, Comcast Ondemand. Also with TIVO I can created a season pass including both live TV recording and streaming via apps.

Answer:	yes approved with at@t.
Question:	Keeps dropping out. Installed June 30,2016 and have not been able to resolve the issue of constant dropping out of internet connection. Any ideas
Answer:	Probably a loss of signal issue. See the link that follows for guidelines related to Comcast, which are most likely comparable to other providers. I would recommend contacting your provider to be sure it isn't something they can help with. Check for all compression fittings to the modem, be sure it isn't being split. Might need an in line signal amplifier. http://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Your-Home-Network/Connection-Troubleshooting-Tips/m-p/1253575#U1253575

Answer:	The SURFboard SBG6900 has built-in Wi-Fi, but unfortunately, it is not enabled with RipCurrent (G.hn technology), If you are interested in a RipCurrent solution, I would recommend purchasing the SURFboard SB6901 cable modem, which is the same modem unit as the SBG6900 but without the Wi-Fi. Then, I would purchase one of the RipCurrent routers, such as the SBR AC1200 or SBR AC3200 and add either a wired or wireless extender, depending upon your needs

User questions & answers

Question:	I have time warner cable speed of 200 mb. with this router, will i be able to get 200 mbps on wifi
Answer:	If by "phone" the writer refers to a cell phone, it could be connected via a USB adapter, but is it worth the expense and the effort? It's essentially a legacy box. It would require a USB to serial port converter to connect it to the phone plus a receptacle for the power, plus an app or software to use it. There are smaller and cheaper FAX Modem units that convert USB directly to an RJ11 POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) connector. Here's one from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/V-TOP-External-V-92-Modem-Cable/dp/B00XW5QYWS/ref=sr_1_3 It requires an adapter to convert the USB connector to the phone's Micro USB, such as this. https://www.amazon.com/CableCreation-Female-Assorted-Direction-Straight/dp/B013G4DMCE/ref=sr_1_2_sspa After that, an app or software would be needed to allow the phone to communicate with the POTS, and to send/receive faxes if that's the intent. IAC, the Zoom 3049 modem was designed for use with computers, and it is impractical for phones.
Question:	Do I need another product to go with this to get wii connection to devices in my house wirelessly
Answer:	Hi, this modem pre-dated Windows 10 PRO by many years. The package says that it supports up to Windows Vista so I can't say for sure. They might have released driver updates for subsequent releases. You can try calling zoom and asking. The number is below. Zoom Telephonics Inc. 99 High Street Boston, MA 02110 Telephone: (617) 423-1072
Question:	Is this compatible with Windows
Answer:	No, it must be connected to a computer. The included DVD contains a driver and software that allows the computer to communicate with the modem.
Question:	May I hear from those who actually have this modem & use it w/regular Comcast internet service? Will it work with up to 25mbps
Answer:	I purchased the Zoom 3049 almost 10 years ago, but it came with a serial cable. One end of the cable has a male DB25 connector, and the other end is a female DB9. The DB25 connects to the back of the modem.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have telephone jack
Answer:	I've also noticed it has a short distance. I have 200mb cable speed too and I haven't got anywhere near that speed on wifi yet.
Question:	Does this reach 1GB ? I was told not to purchase this for my xfinity or I will not receive the speed I’m paying for
Answer:	I have the SBG6900AC and it comes with built in wifi.
Question:	why is a battery necesssary? doesn't it have an AC power supply
Answer:	If this is compatible with your network provider im pretty sure it will work with any computer directly connected to the modem. If your going wireless you need to buy a router.
Question:	Is it docsis
Answer:	I have this modem, I pay for 150 Mbps, My wired speed test runs at a hard-capped 120 Mbps, though xfinity's/comcast's "compatible modems" website says the device can only download up to 100 Mbps. Honestly considering how unstable their service is I was surprised to see speeds that high, used to get 80 Mbps at most for over a year. Whether those last 30 Mbps are lost due to the modem or the fact that no ISP actually gives you the speeds they promise, I can't tell.

User questions & answers

Question:	How is this model different than the arris surfboard sb
Answer:	The sb6121 only has speeds of 172 Mbps download and up to 131 Mbps upload. This model has up to 343 Mbps download and 131 Mbps upload.
Question:	Going with the cable modem option what’s the best router to pair this with for spectrum
Answer:	It depends on your needs. Needs are based on the number of devices connected and the size of area you are trying to cover. I would highly recommend a mesh network unless your home is 1200sqft or smaller. A centrally located router could cover that. The biggest problem is getting the 5ghz frequency to reach throughout the home. The 5ghz gives you speeds over 30mbps on wireless devices. 5ghz will reach roughly 40ft in all directions from your access point (ap). A mesh system gives you multiple ap and thus more area covered by the 5ghz.
Question:	How many devices can connect at once? Is that that the 8x refers to
Answer:	The 8x doesn't refer to the number of devices you can connect to it. You only want to connect one device and that's your WiFi router. You wireless router determines how many devices can be connect based on the available number of ip addresses on the wireless device. The 8x refers to the speed of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). Its informing you on the speed of DOCSIS 2.0 vs the newer DOCSIS 3.0. Ultimately your speed will be determined by how much you want to pay your internet provider. And you can determine how many devices you want to connect by the router you choose.
Question:	Do I also have to buy a router for the modem? And to make sure it obviously speeds up internet connection right
Answer:	If you only need to have one computer hooked up to the internet you do not need a router. If you want to hook up more than one computer or if you want a wireless network, you will need to buy the appropriate router. My internet speed went from 20mb to 100mb(the speed I pay extra for). TWC has also stopped charging me $8.00 a month for the use of their inadequate equipment.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this both a modem and router ? (2 in1 thing
Answer:	Yes it is! It has dual functionality. If you have a router you like already you can turn the wifi part off and just use it as a modem
Question:	This says it isn't compatible with at&t, does that mean my iphone, with an at&t connection, will not be able to use this modem

Question:	i'm using this with netgear router (with port forwarding). therefore i have to run this modem in bridge mode. would i be better with a cheaper modem
