Easy Installation with Arris Setup Wizard

This SBG6580-2’s ease of use makes it the ideal device for anyone looking to do a self-installation of their home network without the assistance of their internet provider’s technician. Our technicians at ModemGuides feel strongly that this model is as close to “plug’n’play” as it gets. You will need to contact your provider’s customer service phone number to activate this model, however, this has shown to be relatively quick and easy compared with other DOCSIS 3.0 devices.

Arris & Motorola Cable Modems

Since Arris & Motorola’s merge back in 2012, Arris absorbed Motorola and they are now functioning as one. Some models, depending on when they were manufactured, may have Arris or Motorola branding. The SBG6580-2 you receive from ModemGuides may have either Motorola or Arris branding. Please contact us if you have any questions.
