Is there software for testing an intermittent Arris SB6141 cable modem (Costco item #774054)?
*Is there software for testing an intermittent Arris SB6141 cable modem?*
(Costco item #774054) As per suggestions by Jeff Liebermann, long ago I bought these college kids in circa 2015 the $75 Costco Item Number #774054 Arris SB6141 modem, which they've used in a series of college apartment situations until now. Lately, their Comcast service has been flaky which the Comcast service personnel determined today is not due to the Comcast service, but, that the "signal is not getting out of the modem", intermittently. o Freeware to test Costco docsys 3.0 cable modem from Windows 10 laptop that has no Ethernet port https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/105H7OgFl-I The question for purposefully helpful adults on s.e.r is whether you know of a good software test of a cable modem that appears to be intermittent. -- Usenet is a public potluck where purposefully helpful adults help others. |

The "Signal" page displays the signal levels, error rate, etc. https://arris.secure.force.com/consumers/articles/General_FAQs/SB6141-GUI-Access/?l=en_US&fs=RelatedArticle Guidelines for acceptable performance vary. I use: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16085 As per suggestions by Jeff Liebermann, Sorry, my warranty expired long ago. long ago I bought these college kids in circa 2015 the $75 Costco Item Number #774054 Arris SB6141 modem, which they've used in a series of college apartment situations until now.

Comcast no longer supports the SB6141 (16x4). The fashionable modem for DOCSIS 3.0 is the SB6190 (32x8). For DOCSIS 3.0, the SB8200 (32x8). Both provide far more channels and bandwidth in both directions. I've been replacing the SB6141 modems with these later modems because the increase in the number of downstream channels or the upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1 seem to cause some older modems to act weird. I haven't bothered to investigate and just replace the modem when someone complains. I also have to replace some wireless routers, such as my former favorite Linksys EA2700, which will not work reliably at speeds over about 100Mbits/sec. https://www.xfinity.com/support/devices/ If you want to waste your time with the SB6141, I have a few in my palatial office that you can have for a nominal charge. Also, I had some difficulties long ago with an SB6141 that turned to the be a defective (probably overheated) power supply. You might try a different 12V PS and see if that helps. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
