Motorola/Arris Cable Modem Firmware Update
Hi, I have been having some wifi connection issues with the 2.4GHz frequency. It suddenly stops working while the 5 GHz continues working. I looked at the router setup page and found that the current firmware (SBG6X82-8.4.0.0-GA-05-809-NOSH) is way too old. I couldn't find any way to update it from the setup page, so, I looked on the Arris website and found that Cox is responsible for pushing updates. See http://arris.force.com/consumers/articles/Drivers_and_Firmware/Upgrading-Firmware-on-Cable-Modems-Gateways. Can you push out the latest firmware? Be happy to share any account info you might need. Looks like this is something you have done before.

Download speed consistently slower than upload speed
I have been getting download speeds about two thirds of my upload speeds recently. I thought it might be due to an old out of date modem i had, so I updated the modem to the new-ish motorola SBG6782. Resulting in the same download slower than upload ( as measured on coxs speed test and others ). Some forum surfing showed that there may be a "service code" that needs to be set from somebody from cox when a modem gets changed? Also, coxs initial web intercept / new modem registration screen doesn't recognize the SBG6782 even though it is on the compatible modems list. ( I used my correct serial and hfc mac numbers, but had to tell the system it was a SB6141 to get connectivity. Any mods able to do a line check, or send one of these codes down the line?18KViews0likes11Comments
