Arris Modem Settings

[Stayla Casillas]

Nowyou need to log in to your Arris modem router to manage your network, change login details, create guest networks, view your SSID, and other settings. Also, while setting up your new network, you might need to log in and configure a few things.

To sum up, logging into your Arris modem router is very quick and simple. All you have to do is use the IP address to access the portal and enter your credentials. Once you are logged in, you will be able to manage your network, change the settings, reset your router, and do much more.

Like the performance of the Arris modem and router, but it has been true disappointing pain trying to log into the modem and router to change default username & password for more security. I would also look at other settings, etc.

I have the R7300 connected via ethernet to an Arris modem (Cox cable) and am unable to establish an internet connection. i have tried cloning the mac address from a previous router and from a macbook pro, i have rebooted both the modem and routers more times than i want to admit. I can see a white solid light on the 7300 which should mean internet, but the genie just can't detect it. I have been able to get directly into the netgear configuration page and have tried to clone a previous router's setup, but just can't get anything to work. It's possible the firmware is way out of date, but a) that probably shouldn't be the issue and b) i don't know how to update it without connecting the router to the internet. any suggestions would be welcome.

The left light is white, and the 3rd and 4th LED are white or blinking indicating traffic. The second LED is usually amber, however, if I use the genie and spoof the MAC address of another router, the LED will go white and blink white, but I still don't have internet access. Interestingly, if I plug the ethernet from the modem into a LAN port (1) on the router, I can then access the router settings using 192.168.1.1 From there, it looks like it's not getting an IP or subnet from the modem. I've plugged in a router that works then tried hard coding the values into the R7300 and still it doesn't connect. When I go back to the WAN port, I can't connect at all to the R7300 other than to see the genie that pops up.

Thanks, I did all of that and was able to get into the browser config tool while having the ethernet plugged into the WAN port on the router. I get an IP and subnet etc and all the lights are white, but I still can't get to the internet. I called Cox and they were having issues sending commands to the modem, so at this point I think the real issue is with either Cox or with the Arris Modem. I appreciate the help, if they can't resolve it, i'll post again.

If you use an Arris modem or router to connect to the internet, you may need to get into its configuration menu from time to time. You can usually do this with a username and password, and if you don't know the username and password, you can try the Arris default login settings. If you have trouble getting into your router, contact your internet service provider for help.

Arris makes a variety of modems and wireless routers that you can use to connect to your internet service provider. In some cases, you may own your Arris device, but it others, your internet service provider may rent the router to you.

Either way, if you have trouble with your device or need to change the wireless or other settings, you need to connect to the device. Typically, you can do this by accessing the device through your wireless or wired home network by connecting to its IP address, Simply enter that address into the address bar on your browser, whether on your computer, phone or tablet.

When you connect, you are usually prompted to enter a username and password. If you haven't changed your Arris modem login settings, try using the Arris default password and username. The default username is "admin," and the Arris default password is "password." After you connect, you can change a variety of settings depending on your Arris device model, often including passwords, wireless connection settings and other information. If you're not sure what value to use for any particular setting, contact your internet service provider for help or consult your device's manual.

If you are having trouble with your Arris router and can't find a proper setting to fix it, or you don't know the Arris modem login information for your device and think it may have been changed, reset the device to factory settings. You usually do this by pressing and holding the reset button on the back of the modem for about 15 seconds. This resets all the default settings, including passwords, which may solve your problem or make it easier for you to log in to the device.

Alright, yet another XFiniti issue post! Like many, I am having issues getting my mother's RBR20 to connect to the internet with the Xfinity Arris TG1682G Modem/Router.

I have enabled Bridge mode on the modem/router. When I go back in and check the wifi settings, they show disabled.

Next, I setup the Orbi and add the Arris modem/router MAC address. When I do that, Orbi shows the IP information from Comcast. When I remove it, it does not. However, in either state, it cannot connect to the internet and has a magenta light on it. It is cabled properly. I have searched through the Arris config to see if I could find any other methods to disable the wifi transmitters, but enabling bridge mode seems to be the only way.

Please make sure of the following

1. The Orbi "Internet/Yellow Port" is connected by ethernet cable to Arris TG1682G.

2. No other devices are connected to Arris TG1682G ethernet ports.

3. Arris TG1682G is in bridge Mode.

4. The Orbi is in router mode and setup to obtain WAN DHCP automatically.

5. Power off both devices. Power on Arris TG1682G first and wait until LEDs show active and Internet. The power on the Orbi.

Comcast/Xfinity like most ISPs only assigns an account 2 public IP addresses and only one can be assigned to a device connected to the ethernet ports. So if you have multiple devices connected to the Arris TG1682G they may be racing for that 1 public IP address.

Next, I setup the Orbi and add the Arris modem/router MAC address. When I do that, Orbi shows the IP information from Comcast. When I remove it, it does not. However, in either state, it cannot connect to the internet and has a magenta light on it. It is cabled properly.

Why are you setting up the Orbi and adding the Arris MAC address? Once you disable DHCP and setup the Arris in bridge mode, you should be able to use the app (still think it's the easiest and fastest way for an initial setup) and configure the Orbi router in router mode, and add satellites if needed. Once configured you can go to orbilogin.com and finish configuring the Orbi the way you want.

On one the various threads on this subject, I read someone suggested that. When I do not add it, I do not have an IP address from Comcast. When I do, I get an IP address pushed down to the Orbi (though I still cannot access the internet).

Go back and check your Arris settings. The modem needs to be active and the LAN portion technically disabled. Make sure, after changing settings on the Arris, and before connecting the Orbi, you reboot the Arris. This way the Arris will obtain the info from the ISP and assign an IP address to the Orbi router.

Trust me, I have. I spent 3 1/2 hours yesterday troubleshooting this. The only setting change I am aware of that needs to be made is enabling bridge mode. If there is another setting change to be made, no one has discovered and posted about it, as far as I can tell. I scoured every possible setting that can be changed in the Arris TG1682G and there is no way for a home user to, say, disable the wireless transmitters short of enabling bridge mode. If anyone has any suggestions on what else can be fiddled with in the modem, I'd love to hear them.

Check the Arris modems users manual for transparent, or NAT or Bridge mode features on the modems web page. I have set a few of these modems up for bridge mode and it's there. Been a while since I did my last one. Once it's bridged fully and you applied the change. Your RBR router should be connected to the 1st port on the modem. Power OFF The modem for 1 minute then back ON and let it sync. Then Power ON the RBR. I would factory reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard at 192.168.1.1 with a wired PC. This should help you get the RBR connected to the Modem.
