NO STANDBY Mode on the Surfboard Cable Modems
To determine if the Standby Mode has been disabled by the MSO, there is a work-around that can be used .
NOTE: This work-around will only work on SB5100 & 5101 Cable Modems. It will NOT work on SB5120 no matter what firmware version is loaded on the unit.
1. Open the GUI interface of the modem. Â
2. From the main screen find the CONFIGURATION tab.
3. In the Configuration screen, select RESET FACTORY DEFAULTS.
4. Depress the Standby button, Standby Mode should now work!
Disclaimer:Â The Standby Disable mode will be reconfigured with either a hard-reset / power cycle or a auto-configuration load initiated by the MSO.
