SBG8300 (RB)

Great way to save the lease fee Comcast wants to charge. Works great with XFinity Internet. Setup was a breeze. I did have an issue with my wi-fi printers dropping out. I would have to restart my desktop computer for them to connect again. I called Tech support, the gentleman was very knowledgeable and resolved the issue with a setting in the admin section. Printers have not dropped out since.

Fast service

Day one. I could not get the Arris application to connect it would not find the wi-fi signals, the instructions in the box gave me the wrong IP/address to access the settings, I should have used the old one. I called tech support, they spoke English with heavy accent that was a barrier, just a barrier not a complaint. Reset the modem redownload the app, still nothing. Then he gave me the correct IP/address and it worked right away. Why was this incorrect on the instructions int he box. Got it set up in a few minutes after that. The setting interface is not super intuitive but it's cleaner and better than the past interface. However every time I connect the setting for the modem it tells me the version of Chrome is old and may have trouble with some settings. I checked, nope Chrome is the newest version and apparently the setting menu is set to run off an older version, but it still works haven't found any issues. Back to the app. It sucks. You not only have to download one app but two apps. The second app changes your login from admin to your email. Thats a nice touch however I have had to go through the whole process of setting up the app each time and if it works it throws me back to the other app. I don't understand the reasoning for this. Either way I am hoping this has better connection and speeds looks like it is working once I called my internet provider, Sparklight does work with it. Should have been easier with all the "convenience" options starting with the correct IP/address.

THERE'S NO PHYSICAL WPS BUTTON and no owners manual was included. Apparently, a senior citizen such as myself now needs a degree in electronic engineering in order to pair my printer and wifi extenders. In order to pair, it is necessary to press the reset button for 30 seconds, and enter the service menu using ''admin'' and '' password'', which it won't accept. It says its the WRONG PASSWORD. it worked fine for us until I needed to print something, then when my new wifi extenders arrived and I was unable to pair them, that's when I decided to return the darned thing. It's a shame- it had a strong output signal, but still not strong enough to reach my security cameras 150 feet away. Which is why I need powerful range extenders.

This purchase has produced exactly what’s promoted..simple install and speedy service thru your chosen internet provider. And it’s compatible with a variety of service providers

Two in one is very convenient and that is something I did not know existed

Provides magnificent Wi-Fi throughout the house and way out into my yard, saving me from $20-$60/month on my Cell Phone Gigs used. It also saves me from my Cable Company's $14/month Rental Fees (this ARRIS SBG8300 is actually free after the first 11-12 months, from No Cable Bills)! Excellent Cable Viewing from the basic Network News, Live Sports and to every Streaming Service available. My TV screen has a clear, crisp sound and picture. The only problems I've run into, since my purchase 9 months ago, were directly from my Cable and Internet Provider. I chose a Refurbished Unit and a lot of Insurance but, I have had Zero issues with my device. ⏭️ The ARRIS SBG8300 DOCSIS 3.1 MODEM/ ROUTER was an excellent choice. ✴️ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Works great and internet company will even help you Connect! Just make sure you get with your network provider and make sure it is compatible
