Wow that's a huge issue and I'm amazed I was totally ignorant of it until just now. Looks like my last modem upgrade happened just before Arris switched to Puma 6.
- postpawl 7y agoMy brother recently got a free modem from his ISP with the defective puma chipset and he ended up keeping it because the defect wasn’t that noticeable. This guy said it added about 8ms of latency: https://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/Connectivity/arris-tm1602a-puma-chipset-needs-fixing/td-p/143859 https://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/Connectivity/arris-tm1... So maybe not a huge issue, but personally I’d just spent the $40 on a SB6183 that doesn’t have the issue.

- AstralStorm 7y agoBad software is common in these kinds of routers. Even across software updates you can get a dying router, much less a hardware change. That's because the software is essentially lowest bidder and untested. (Note: running in a lab is not the same as adversarial testing.)
