I just lost connection on the new firmware. With the previous firmware I had something like 100+ days of up time.
Hope this was just a one-off event. |

In almost all cases firmware upgrades don't "Offer" anything. It patches issues the modem might have with certain pieces of equipment and may address security concerns.
In addition to streamlined bridged mode, I can see this update also enables you to selectively disable the various NAT ALGs (protocol snooping) ... even FTP! I'm hoping they've either fixed the performance bugs I had with the last version, or that by disabling everything I don't need, I won't run into them. I'll know in a few days!

I live in Akron and just got mine too.
I assume TWC upgraded their SBG6580 firmware last night around 1:30 A.M. That's when my cable box rebooted with the new GUI interface.
I have a question for those in the know here. I see a new menu on the web interface after firmware upgrade. Does anyone know what these mean by chance? (See image attached.) |

Something is going on here on my SBG6580. It just rebooted twice. I'm online for the time being but the up/down indicators are blinking at the same time and I see this in the event log:
SW Download INIT - Via NMS
Update - upgraded in Charlotte -
SBG6580-3.5.8.2-GA-00-488-NOSH
Wireless is back on. But it kept the network I put it on (192.168.4.254). Menus look the same. |

Rebooted my modem and it grabbed the update. Looks like I would have eventually gotten it anyway since there seems to be scheduled downtime on Thursday night. 
said by motorola870: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. Actually, my AirPort Extreme seems to pick up a 6to4 tunnel now. No native IPv6 yet, though. And it's sending all my IPv6 traffic through Sweden.  /goes back to he.net tunnel |

While these things are supposed to help, sometimes they interfere or have bugs. Most VOIP services, for example, recommend disabling SIP ALG. So it's good to have the option to disable them.

Our SBG6580 updated to 3.3.1.0 on Aug 28th. About 30min ago the cable modem lost connection for around 5min or so. About couple be for that it also lost connection.
We was not having issues be for the firmware updated on the cable modem. Going to keep a eye on it for sure now. |

Belton, TX | Still at 3.3.1.0 here in central Texas...but then we tend to get most updates later rather than sooner in this market.

So, do you think I should leave it alone even if I don't use VOIP? Will this effect my internet speeds in any way if I leave it the way it is now? Or should I untick all of them?
Thanks. |

I prefer to uncheck them, and then check if needed. But it shouldn't matter if you're not using those protocols in the first place.

That's wild, I'm over on the east side and I still don't have this yet. I wonder if it gets rolled out by CM MAC address, and maybe mine is "further down the list"... |

I noticed that as well. Doesn't bother me too much though.

This firmware appears to have solved the speed degradation issue I was having, which was forcing me to use it in bridge mode with a different router.
6 days of uptime, and I'm still getting my full 50mbit. Prior to this firmware I could not go past 48 hours without major slowdowns. Nice!

| It seems that using this modem in router mode, the wireless portion has been disabled. Primary network stays grayed out and disabled, and there is no way to turn it on.
Way to go Time Warner RR, for a firmware upgrade that still doesn't work right. |

Might need to pay for the Home WiFi service for TWC to enable WiFi on their modem:

If it's important, back it up... twice. Even 99.999% availability isn't enough sometimes. |
