Arris SB6183?

[Zennon]

DOCSIS 3.0-compatible Puma 6 modems have an issue and there will be a firmware update 3niz.

Some evidence here that the 1602 is also affected:

Which hey; is what I have AND have crazy random ping spikes and packet loss despite my line being spot on perfect.

We shall see where this goes.

Is the Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 affected by this?  

[iAmMoDBoX]

Well this is my problem with the SB6141 as well

[SM961]

So, I replaced my TM1602A with my old modem  SB6120 and the spikes are gone according to my Netduma's ping diagnostics. Now I'm getting everything exeptional.

When I was researching changing modems to the CM600. I came across this article.

To think that the TI Puma chipset was to be a savior for Arris Modems and it only made it worse. I gave up on Cable internet and moved to DSL with AT&T, probably should have tried the CM600 first before leaving.

Last month when I replaced my modem that I got from my cable company Charter I thought I was replacing it with the latest greatest future proof modem boy was I wrong, I was wondering why all of the sudden my Netduma was acting weird whenever I would do a ping test would get spikes that I even called the cable company and complained that there was something wrong with my line, what they don't know is the they giving customers a bad modem. Now that I have my old modem everything is the way is supposed to be. Thanks Zennon for the heads up. If it's not broken don't fix it.

Now if all gamers that use cable know of this they can sort out this online mess, because it is not only awful for you playing with jitter its a nightmare playing against somebody with it.

 

Ping compensation has a hard time dealing with the massive fluctuations, especially cod.

Check it out.

So all docsis are affected?

I'd say it's safe to assume that almost all recent Intel/Texas Instruments based modems have a problem since my SB6141 has the same exact issue

Yes, I have that router, but I do not use it because comcast / xfinity already discontinued it

Not true... They called their rental SB6141 as End of Life. But the retail version is still fine. End of Life just means that it's old, but it still works. I get full speeds through it without a problem.

I just activated mine a week ago on my friend's account after I got my new one lol they lied to you... Make sure to mention that you bought it yourself.

[iAmMoDBoX]

I think it's they don't want any 4x4 modems floating around. They trying to push 8x4 out.

 

6141 is 8x4
