Review: Good Product Initially worked, But have issues after Xfinity Upgraded their network in my Area. - Xfinity is Horrible.. I pay for 400 Mb upload and 400 Mb download bandwidth, I get only 80 Mb download and 11 Mb upload. I have my own brand new(6 months old) Arris Surfboard G34 DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit Cable Modem at home right from beginning of this service. When I signed up for this plan, I got 400 MB speed for a month and everything was excellent. Later on Xfinity did some upgrade in my area, which made my internet speed drop to 80 MB. I have a Xfinity technician friend, he confirmed it, he said if I call Xfinity they will send technician home and complain it's the issue with Modem and not their network. Charge me Technician visit charges. He had a device, showed me why they would say my Modem is bad and he explain which upgrade made my service bad too. He said, if I want to stay with Xfinity and get 400 MB speed, spend another 300$'s get another modem and keep doing this for every 2-3 years. He said, Xfinity knows this pretty well, they will pretend as they don't know the issue and they will send technician home, get ready to pay technician visit charges. I still tried to talk to Xfinity Operator about internet speed issue, I get to speak to offshore representative, she try to play innocent, give me repetitive explanations. They offered sending technician home. By now, I know where I am going with this. Right now, I don't have any other internet service provider option in my area to switch. I have to bite it, I have to pay for 400 MB and get 80 MB i.e., with wired connection. Wireless is even horrible its just 11MB download and upload of 3.4 MB. If I bring down my service package to 100 MB, I get 20MB or even less. Every thing will be alright if I take the Modem from Xfinity and pay 15$'s extra a month. I would say stay away from Xfinity, I feel like I am getting cheated and I cannot do anything about it
Review: G34 Bad at Band Steering: drops vpn, zoom, teams when poorly "managing" traffic - Update to further reduce stars after a terrible 10 days with this. Looking for replacement, as even with band steering off, tedious manual traffic management, this full-on chokes and loses all internet connection multiple times a day, for long enough that connection to work vpn and important teams and zoom meetings are lost. We get fast and decent coverage when it is connected, but it will inevitably glitch out at the worst times. We need a connection that won't drop out long enough to disconnect work vpn or lose zoom or teams meetings, and this seems unable to provide that. Our 400mps xfinity service is not the problem, as we hardly ever had noticeable disconnects with the old TG1682G - and those were traceable to a reported xfinity outage, not the gateway issues that are clearly down to the G34. That old TG1682G was replaced only to save on rental fees, and the G34 specs made it seem like a solid choice, but it is not. You can see in the xfinity app that the G34 is offline, and in wifi details on any and all devices. However, Arris seems to be working hard to make you think it isn't their problem. The light on the gateway will stay blue like nothing is wrong, and the dumb surfboard app makes it appear connected, shows all the "connected" devices, and shows good results in speed test, but that is only gateway-to-device. Just in the short time since this was purchased, Arris popped up a note saying their speed test is no longer available to test gateway-to-service-provider, so you see decent wifi speeds, but have no actual internet during these frequent hiccups. Set up with Surfboard app, plus Xfinity app, was no problem, and wifi distance is generally good. However, unlike the older Arris I rented from xfinity for years, this thing is much more prone to causing video meetings, work vpn, etc. to drop out briefly, but long enough that they fully disconnect. This glitching is mostly due to the band steering, I believe, and they do tell you in arris documentation that disconnections can be a problem if you select to have your 2.4 and 5ghz bands integrated and use the automatic band steering traffic management option. (EDIT, turns out this is not the only thing causing disconnects, every day.) It seems really stupid in this day and age to not have decent band and channel management from a gateway like this. It is so frustrating that I can't have the benefits of automatic smart traffic management, and I've not easily found a way to override the glitchy steering for just one or two important devices. Instead, I've had to separate the bands and try to get the household to manage our traffic ourselves, to be sure I won't drop out of an important zoom or teams presentation. That's just crazy after my old gateway handled this fine for as far back as I can remember, managing not to visibly drop the connection while switching bands for laptops and portable devices that sometimes should be on 2.4 (better able to handle long distance from router, or not needing much bandwidth at the moment) and sometimes should be on 5.0 (more robust when close enough). I will also note, besides the band-steering drop outs, this gateway has totally lost connection with xfinity a couple of times in one week, with no outage noted by xfinity. That nearly never happened with the old gateway, and only when there was a noted outage on xfinity's part. (EDIT, still happening, all the dang time. So MANY resets.) After having more embarrassing dropped meetings and work projects in one week than in the last three years, I'm sad that the much older Arris gateway was much smarter than this G34.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Please fix the title for this product? Its not four 2.5 gb ports its one 2.5 gb port and four 1 gb ports. Might save alot of returns due to this**
A: misleading and flat-out false advertising is standard practice on practically all electronics ads I visit.
it's educational to see through the bunk and learn what is actually true.
don't let your efforts go to waste.
share the fruit of your labor.
post some flaming answers in these Q&As.

**Q: Can you turn off the Mcaffee crap? Has anyone noticed this router not allowing you to visit sites it thinks are “dangerous”?**
A: As OP said I never installed, so nothing to turn off. I started having many problems using a non standard gate way address (192.168.10.1). Router would forget WiFi password, couldn’t access the GUI there. Almost as though the firmware was becoming corrupted. I sent mine back, waiting for replacement - that’s another story.

**Q: does this have a phone jack?**
A: Arris & Motorola combo modems like this are for Internet & device Networking only. Only model numbers that start with "TM***" include a phone hookup, then you still need to call cable company to assist with installing those other modems with phone jacks.

**Q: What’s the WiFi range on the sbg 7400?**
A: In a house it tends to be sufficient. My security cameras run without issue 40-50 feet away. Range drops off outside the house after about 15 feet. So a 60-70 foot radius from the router, then I tend to jump to a neighbors xfinitwifi as a backup outside

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy To Use and Setup with Cox
*by W***E on August 27, 2023*

This review is for the Arris Surfboard G34. I purchased this combo modem/router to replace my old one. When using Cox, note that you can't just plugin the new device and start using it -- you always need to call their technical support team to have them unregister your old device and register your new one. The setup process was easy and straight forward. The most difficult party was getting through to Cox technical support. My previous modem/router used DOCSIS 3.0 technology, so this upgrade gave me a 45% increase in download speed and a 366% increase in upload speed; all without changing my service plan. I saw lots of negative reviews for this device regarding the intermittent internet connections or the failure to connect to the internet. I have not personally experienced either of these issues. For buys who have this concern, if possible, I recommend retaining your old hardware for at least 30 days just in case you need to revert back. The product offers an optional mobile app to manage the network. The mobile app has very bad reviews. My recommendation is to configure your wireless network using your web browser first, then configure your mobile app after. Most of the negative reviews appeared to be from users attempting to perform the initial configuration using the mobile app. PROS: - Easy to install. - Fast wireless speeds. - Optional mobile app. - Modem and wireless router combined into a single hardware device. CONS: - The single LED status light makes it difficult to determine the state of the modem (see below). - When you rename a device using the web interface, those names do not carry through on the mobile app. FEATURES NOT ADVERTISED: - Free mobile app called 'SURFboard Central.' The mobile app allows you to see what devices are connected to your network, assess your network health, test your Wi-Fi speed, and even rename connected devices. The app was easy for me to use, despite the negative reviews. - You can setup a primary home network, a secondary home network, and a guest network. Each network includes a 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz SSID. COLOR CODES: - Solid Green LED: Indicates the Online status is in DOCSIS 3.0 mode. - Solid Blue LED: Indicates the Online status is in DOCSIS 3.1 mode. *This is the color you want to see. - Blinking Green LED: Indicates downstream and upstream channel search. - Solid Amber LED: Indicates the unit is powered on. - Blinking Amber LED: Indicates the firmware download is in progress. - Blinking Blue and Green LED: Indicates error mode in sequence. - Solid Light Blue LED: Indicates the WAN is selected over the Ethernet mode.
