If anyone doesn't know, always avoid Motorola/Arris Modems. I remember a few years ago Arris tried to update my modem to add ipv6 support. Ended up having 2 months of constant issues where incoming connections to ports forwarded would cause the router to drop all outgoing packets until the incoming connection closed... 2 months later Comcast rolled back the update.
- bri3d 9y agoMotorola/Arris modems can have 3 major chipsets (TI, Broadcom, Intel), each with a multitude of firmware and configuration updates delivered on a per-carrier basis, so this is a _very_ sweeping generalization. I'd recommend researching a modem much more in depth than just the manufacturer name on the front.
- digi_owl 9y agoAnd this is a basic problem of the consumer networking market. I know at least one box i have here are listed by 3 different variants on the OEM site, and the only distinguishing factor is a single letter on a single model code pinted on the sticker underneath it. Checking the box or anything similar and you would be non the wiser.
- maxyme 9y agoI think it demonstrates sheer incompetence of the Arris takeover of Motorola and a lack of quality control with software updates. And applies to the company as a whole regardless of chipset.
