XB6 a mistake for me

[#1]

i am very disappointed  and   frustrated with this  modem and  I am  regretting  sending  back my hiltron. I  will  be  downgrading  back to 150. i  cannot even get   my ring  doorbell  to  connect, other wifi  devises   keep  dropping  off  and  will not  connect  with   the  same  reserved  ip, and there  is   no   passthrough

ohh  just   to  be   clear,  it was a  mistake  for   me.  That   does  no   mean it is  wrong  for  everryone.

There is no pass-through but you can put it into bridge mode yourself if you are using your own router.  This is a first from Shaw.

Hey rassilon,

Thank you for reaching out! I am very sorry to hear of the poor WiFi experience you've had with the XB6. It is a possibility that it is an issue with the combined WiFi network. You can certainly split the networks by naming them different from each other with the steps here to see if it helps reconnect your smart home devices. Yes, there is no IP passthrough capabilities but you can certainly bridge the modem for a 3rd party router to work with it.

Cheers,

@Andyvnca -- WIFI Keep dro ping on PC and laptop

Do you have two different SSIDs for your 2.4 Ghz and your 5 Ghz devices?

Perhaps, you have a "dud" cable-modem. 

I recommend that you contact Shaw, and get them to follow their trouble-shooting procedures.

Did the advice from @rstra -- here -- solve your problem with connecting your surveillance camera, or the other symptoms that you reported?
