    On July 13, 2024 I purchased Arris G36 advertised as approved for Xfinity. After installing that modem I noticed frequent service interruptions due to packet loss. After multiple calls with Xfinity support and Xfinity's technician onsite visit I opened a case with Commscope and received a replacement G36 - that experienced the same problem. Meanwhile I tried other modems, so in total:Working modems - all working fine 2 different rental units from Xfinity 1 unit from Hitron Failing modems - both having packet loss 2 Arris G36 After multiple calls with Xfinity, Commscope, and researching Commscope Community and Xfinity forums:1. There are numerous reports that G36 doesn't work with Xfinity 2. Xfinity explained that the issue is specific to G36 (makes sense since both units do not work while all non G36 units worked)3. Xfinity's - position - this is the problem with the unit.Commscope support didn't offer any resolution and just ended up hanging up on me.Commscope support explicitly refused:1. To escalate to their manager 2. To exchange G36 for some other model 3. Refund money Commscope doesn't stand behind their products.

    I purchased an Arris SURFboard SBG7600AC2 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable ************** Wi-Fi modem/router on 11/30/2022 from Amazon.com for $183.58 (including tax). This was to replace the modem/router I'd been renting from the cable provider for $15/month. I have previously purchased and installed Arris modem/routers in other homes and for other family members without issue. I confirmed this model was compatible with my internet, made the purchase, and set it up.I immediately had issues with intermittent connectivity, however, I was on a break from work so wasn't using it regularly. I called Arris multiple times and worked with a tech on the phone to reset the settings, all of which yielded no result. I also had my internet provider service my apartment to ensure it was not an issue with the internet itself. After the provider confirmed it was not an issue with the internet, I had to order a replacement from *****. While ***** provided the replacement free of charge, I had to pay shipping ($21.73). This was in August 2023.I immediately had issues with the replacement modem/router. I called ***** who told me it was a problem with the cable company. The cable company returned to visit the apartment again and found no issue. I reverted back to ***** again, who stated that the the internet provider needed to return again to re-provision the unit. The internet provider returned and re-provisioned. And still the router drops continuously.I'm absolutely out of options in terms of working with *****. They have not been helpful along any step of the way, and I've had to resort to using a hotspot at all times since their router does not work in any capacity. They need to take responsibility for providing a faulty product. Please help me to get a refund for this waste of money.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I confirm I spoke with ************** and that he did send a replacement modem. The modem in question is working fine, and I've concluded that the ethernet port on the old modem was defective, as this new one does not have the same issue.

    I'm very satisfied with the result. I'm sending the old one back later today. Thank you ************** for helping me & thank you BBB.
    *** same situation, I contact *****, who says they cannot do anything, they cant update my firmware or configure my modem, they say its ********* job. I speak with ******** including Corporate HQ, who say it is *****'s job, and that they cannot do either of those things. The product, to this day, is sold as officially compatible and supported by ******** but in actual practice, between both corporations, neither is living up to that promise.I want my money back, because it is looking like I'm going to be forced to buy a different modem, because of this issue. I would have NEVER purchased this modem if I was aware that both corporations were going to be negligent, and it matters not who is to blame, because I am not at fault, regardless of whether its Arris or ******** so I want my money back, or I want a modem provided to me that isn't going to have this issue.This isn't my fault, and I shouldn't have to eat the cost and go through this.

    Dear Sir/*****:

    This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *************************************** regarding warranty replacement.

    On May 3, 2023, I contacted ******************** to discuss the issues he was experiencing.  The details form our discussion led me to believe that the SB8200 had an Ethernet port failure during the time when ******************** called our support sometime last year.  We resolve this matter by providing a replacement SB8200.
