ownyourcablemodem.com stores.ownyourcablemodem.com Sold a modem that did not work on Brighthouse or Comcast. Refused to help. Orem Utah
Some of this may be my fault for the delay in filing a problem with the modem. I thought I may have a one year factory warranty.
Feb 27, 2014 I bought the Arris TG 852G modem thinking this would work with Time Warner / Brighthouse or Comcast.
This modem is unique as it has internet access / a wireless router and can handle two phone lines.
Fo over a month I had one delay after the other with Brighthouse due to me trying to keep two analog AT&T lines and the process of porting my existing numbers. Then came an issue of the cable installer that did not like my dog.
We finally tried to install the modem ourself like I did a Motorola Surf Modem. Should be ok. Just call the cable company, give them my serial number and mac address. They were sending a signal but the modem did see the signal is what I was told.
My thoughts were that later I would get a phone guy in to handle the phone addressing referred to as a SIP address.
The modem never would recieve the signal. We took the Arris out of line and I tried it at a friends house with COMCAST.
We reviewed the manual and procedure. Still no go. A cable instgaller came out and we could not do anyting.
By now a couple of months went by and I knew I wold be SOL on trying to get a warranty.
As I got caught up with things around the house, I tried to talk to ARRIS themsleves. I asked them if coud pay some one to fix this. their response is in the below e-mail:

As you can see from Arris, they do not want to get involved in repair of the TG 852G model modem even though it has their and manufacture name. Does not matter if you are willing to pay for repair of this modem.
Ownyourcablemodem.com tried to say it was not approved for Brighthouse although Brighthouse said otherwise. A last ditch attempt was made to get it working with Comcast after reviewing the manual and getting a cable installer to help. NO GO.
Be careful of Ownyourcablemodem.com and the ARRIS TG852G modem. It sounds neat but no one wants to service it if sometiung happens. The factory refused to help even if I paid a ticket on this.
After 60 days, if it lasts that long, and if you can get through the web site of ownyourcablemodem which is constantly under service repair for the past two weeks, the buyer is SOL.
