I can confirmed this. It's truly amazing that they did this upgrade right after I wrote the long thread in direct forum about the issue.
However, now I am on the way to replace my modem. Since clearly the upgrade breaks it from the connection and it cannot even connect to the maIn line for provisioning.
Hope I'm the only victim for this upgrade and you all get to enjoy the new firmware which clearly makes bridge mode easier and connectivity issue lessened. |

Your modem is not broken. |

Thx for your kind reply. I saw the new version and new interface at 1 pm. For the past 4 hours I have been trying to troubleshoot it at all means I know. It's simply not passing the second blinking light. The lv 3 tech had no idea "it's brand new case since we seldom upgrade it! And the upgrade should be automatic."
That's how my story ended and now almost at their local store. Anyway I am changing to a pure modem so that I could use my linksys without worrying port blocking in the bridged stupid modem. |

I can confirm this as well (WOH area).
However, the wireless indicator blinks and I can no longer access 192.168.0.1. It simply does not come up, so I cannot change the settings in it.
I can access 192.168.100.1, but this is very limited in what I can do.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to get around this. |

Anyone have a suggestion on how to get around this. are you in bridge mode? Maybe now bridge mode only allows access to 192.168.0.1 with this firmware? Either that or your modem is acting up? I think if the wireless light is flashing your wireless part might be disabled. |

You are seeing the right result since it is in bridge mode now. This is what bridge is supposed to be "nothing to configure, just a bridge" .
If u wanna see fancy options, just enable NAPT and they all appear (only functioning in gateway mode. And for older firmware they were functioning even in bridge mode, which an pied me a lot.) |

From what I can tell, yes I'm in bridge mode.
I've tried to look for the wireless signal from a portable netbook, but there is none.
However, not being to access 192.168.0.1 after having access for so long seems to be not right. I wonder if the IP was changed? |

If you are in bridge mode 192.168.0.1 should not work. If it did then it was not setup properly for bridge mode. 2 things were needed for it to be done right disable napt mode and disable dhcp. I guess the new firmware must have corrected that issue. Use 192.168.100.1 that should work. |

Try a factory reset that will fix it for now, but chances are you might need to call in and make sure the codes to keep the wireless enabled are on your acct. |

Use 192.168.100.1 that should work. With the old firmware, both dhcp and napt were disabled and access through 192.168.0.1 was still available. So your now saying, with this new firmware that I can only access the modem through 192.168.100.1 unless i take it out of napt and dhcp disable mode? |

Are you able to get to the config page with the new firmware, without using the resetting trick? |

We don't have it in Valencia/SoCal yet. I look forward to testing it to see if it fixes the routing bugs. |

With the ubee modem they gave to me as a replacement for my sbg6580 today, I'm still not passing the second light. I guess this upgrade just destroyed my cable wire in some magic way.
And tech will not come to check it for another week......worst way of ending my summer break. I hope that I'm the only victim in this upgrade and everyone else gets to enjoy the power of new firmware. |

Will it be supported with firmware upgrade? |

There is a an issue with that page because for one the SBG6580 is newer than the SB5101 model and also motorola has mentioned on their website that the SBG6580 is a IPv6 supportable device. More than likely TWC has not certified it on their network for IPv6 and it is in testing right now for the SBG6580 with a few customers and employees. » www.motorola.com/Video-S ··· /SBG6580 |

Good to know moto SBG6580 is IPv6 compliant, it makes sense going forward. Do you have an idea when TWC transitions to IPv6? |

Question - I got the update last night as well and now the wireless radio has come back on. I am in bridge mode and I see no way to actually disable the radio. Am I stuck with it now? |

Well Okay, that's getting close. I wonder what happened to those IPv6 beta testers that were asked in this forum? Are you guys still testing? |

I didn't realize this, but somehow this update broke my router being in Bridged mode. I had to put the SBG6508 back in DHCP / NAPT Mode in order to get back out. I figured out the solution (not that hard) and posted it in my original thread here: » [TWC] SBG6850 - Bridge mode worked for a year, now it doesn't ?! (5th post) Hope this helps someone else. |
