Question
Where can I find the firmware version in my SBG6400 Gateway?
Answer
The firmware version of the SBG6400 is located in the Login page and the Web Manager.  Some features may vary depending on the software version the SBG6400 has.  The SBG6400 does not support manual software upgrades.  Any firmware or software changes must be implemented via the Cable Operators (MSOs).  The Cable Operators (MSOs) can update the firmware based on what they have approved for their network.

Locating the Firmware in the Login Page

  1. Launch a Firefox or Safari browser.  Enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address box, and press the Enter key.  

    NOTE: A browser message on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera, may appear when accessing the Web Manager.  The message includes 192.168.01 uses an unsupported protocol and ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH.  The Web Manager uses an earlier version of the TLS protocol and does not match the version allowed by the web browser.  Safari browsers on Apple PC and mobile devices are not impacted.  The workaround to access the Web Manager with a PC is to use the Firefox browser and set the TLS version to 1.  For workaround instructions refer to article # 19435 - 192.168.0.1 uses an unsupported protocol.
     
  2.
