I will be at some point, but will see what Arris finds out with this random WiFi issues. Can I consider you for future beta testing? If yes, is it possible if you could PM me your HFC MAC address?   -Chirag ... View more

Firmware was rolled back this morning, a reboot of the device should initiate a downgrade to 6.5.2.0 release.   -Chirag ... View more

Today it's more like every 15-30 minutes. With the laptop connected by ethernet, I get no problems.   I noticed on 4/29 that the gateway's OS was changed to an Arris setup when I checked the setting. I dont know when exactly it updated since I haven't been to the gateway OS page in months.   The issue occurs on 2 different laptops and my cell phone. I can get internet back (for 5-30 minutes) if I disconnect and then immediately re-connect to the network on my laptop/phone.   What can be done about this? Please PM me your CM (HFC) MAC address.   -Chirag ... View more

@BennyS wrote: I received the upgrade to the Arris router and it killed my bridge mode. Tried several different settings to get it to work again without luck. Can somebody at Comcast explain how to enable it so I can use my own router? Any help is appreciated Try the following to put the device in bridge mode. Upgrade should not have broken your bridge mode, let me test out here.   Login to the device GUI --> Basic --> Setup --> Gateway mode --> Toggle it to bridged   -Chirag ... View more

So, to fix the slow internet and disconnection, I have to turn off the router itself and then it will be back to normal for roughly 10-20 minutes. This is worse than the firmware before this. It is really scary to do a test for college online knowing my internet will forcefully disconnected from all internet sources. Then, I have to manually turn it the sbg6580 off or wait for it to connect (takes like 2-5 minutes). The older one slows down and doesn't disconnected at all. I'm much referred to the older, buggy firmware then this firmware. I hope I answer the question ComcastChirag-K. Please update us Please PM me your HFC (CM) MAC address... just to let you know, during initial beta testing none of these issues cropped up. There were numerous customers volunteered for beta testing and I did not hear any issues. ... View more

After about 30 - 60 minutes after powercycling the modem I lose access to some websites, not all. I have tried a factory reset. that behaves the same way. The refresh sent by online tech reps do not help at all. Examples of websites that work: google.com - returns query results but cant connect to the result's link Yahoo.com - same as google facebook.com - cant connect to links coursera.org Examples of websites that do not work: amazon.com ebay.com barnesandnoble.com Netflix.com The error I get for sites that do not work is Connection Timed out. It does not matter which manner I am connected WIFI or via ethernet cable. I get Connection timed out after 30 - 60 mins. Can you PM me your MAC address? Are you using 2.4G or 5G on your SBG6580? Have you tried Ethernet connection?   -Chirag ... View more

Stephanie,   Sorry to hear what is being told to you by one of our reps. Any user that has Comcast in front of their name with red tag are all official Comcast employees.   Looking at your event logs, it seems you might have a plant issue. How often are you seeing T3/T4 timeouts in the logs? When you disconnect does it reconnect on its own or do you have to power cycle the device?   -Chirag ... View more

levimeir7887 - You had issue on older release and newer, both. I would recommend a factory reset of your device and see if that helps.   All,   We have been doing extensive testing on this new release and all initial testing since February looks good. We did not hear any WiFi disconnects with this new release. I would need specific details as to what is your experience with this new 8.6.2.0 release on SBG6580.   WiFi disconnect? Does it recover on its own or do you have to reset the device?   -Chirag ... View more

I don't have the same equipment as the people Chirag has fixed but haven't had a decent call since they upgraded my service and brought me a new modem/wireless router.  Yours is definitely something local. Your US BER has been fluctuating a lot. There's nothing much we could do remotely. I can try to upgrade you to an engineering release to see if that helps? Would you like to try that?   -Chirag ...

I have tried new modems, new phones, I had a service call where he replaced a bunch of wires (that one worked for two days) I have reset the modem, all of these either didn't work at all or worked a dy or two. I don't know about all of you but I am tired of paying for service that I don't receive, especially when comcast says how important our customer satisfaction is to them.  I am not feeling very important and I would like for SOMEONE to be able to permanently fix this issue. You should not see any issues with call quality now. If you do, please let me know!   -Chirag ... View more

There was an issue with call quality and Technicolor TC8305C device, which is corrected at this time. There are no known issues with Arris TG862G and call quality. If you continue to have an issue, it could be something local.   -Chirag ... View more

More information will help us to drill down further, can you'll let me know the make and model of the gateway?   -Chirag ... View more
