Please let me know if this helps or if you need any other information.
to get the cable modem information, its usually at 192.168.100.1
then you'll log into it. You'd need to check your arris model on the default login info
Ok I was able to login to my modem and here are the screenshots. I notice that there are some errors and timeouts in the event logs so that is probably the issue I just don't know how to fix it.
