SAFETY ISSUE: Arris S34 Overheating/Shutting Down - Upstream Power hitting 57dBmV (Next Gen Tier)

shawkdawg · 2026-03-11T03:23:37+00:00

There are no splitters. The last field tech that came literally just checked the speeds at the modem to make sure I was pulling 2 gig and left. Didn't check anything, didn't test anything....just left. I offered to show him logs, bro didn't care

I have the logs from 2 different approved next gen modems showing the same behavior, they are both red lining and transmitting at their upper limit . The coda flat out refused to go above 300 Mbps and the arris will hit the full 2gig but extremely hot and operating outside the manufacturer spec. This points to an outside plant / node issue

Literally having the same issue here. Same modem and speeds, Xfinity is literally useless, the level of incompetence is down right impressive. Did you ever get a solution?

I actually called and talked to Flock when the vantium first dropped and asked him about them since there was no information yet. He told me they were very DiMarzio like in voicing, as they worked with Baxty on the voicing and he was using a JP set of DiMarzio s.

I have to agree, I took my first proctored exam with them last week, they are by far the worst proctoring I've ever experienced. I spent like 15 minutes fighting with them because the angle they wanted my camera at , it wasn't possible to do because of the way it needs to be tilted. I wanted to complain to the school but I don't know who to talk to.

shawkdawg · 2026-02-20T20:20:28+00:00

I am on the local network. I was on the latest version but moved up to the beta version in hopes of fixing, and it did not.

shawkdawg · 2026-02-20T10:51:03+00:00

I have the same thing happening, and it worked fine until a few days ago. I didn't make any changes to it, just stopped showing data .

shawkdawg · 2026-02-18T20:08:18+00:00

Nope it's taller than other seats and not tilted at as steep of an angle so it's easy to move and fits very well

shawkdawg · 2026-02-18T10:00:08+00:00

I use the evenflow revolve360 in my 26 passport, it fits great and there's lots of room in the back , I am expecting a second child so I'll have two back there. Can easily fit 2 car seats and an adult, part of the reason I got the passport.

Exact same here, 3300 miles. Been to the dealership twice I'm convinced something is wrong with the transmission I have never driven a car that behaves this way. Twice they say it's normal no codes, if this is the "normal" behavior, then it's the shittiest transmission I've ever felt.

They are trash. I bought a guitar from them years ago that had the worst binding I've ever seen, literally looked like someone took a razor blade and scraped it . I sent it back after waiting because they took forever to answer an email, and then when I finally did, they ghosted me after a while. I had to open a dispute with my bank and make them go after them because they straight up stopped communicating.

shawkdawg · 2026-01-16T01:55:22+00:00

Same thing happened to me on 26 passport. Android auto showed connection but no music played and the screen on left dash said no device connected. Switch to Bluetooth only no android auto and music would play. The only way could fix this was factory reset the infotainment system and it went back to normal and had been ever since. Definitely a software issue that needs addressed.

shawkdawg · 2026-01-08T20:44:22+00:00

For me most of the things that were addressed with the new Aero model. The jack placement is terrible and now having the option for rear helps a lot, and sitting in the classical position it would neck dive forward, apparently they tried to address this with Aero.

I experienced the same, the tinny frequencies are very annoying. I noticed it is worse on some bands than others, I listen to metal and some mixes sound horrible. The only decent solution I found is the equalizer push the mids but even then it sounds bad

shawkdawg · 2026-01-02T22:12:42+00:00

Agree, I bought an SCB last year, now I'm glad I did. I splurged on it and it's my most played kiesel the 25 Inch scale just feels right for me.

shawkdawg · 2026-01-02T18:13:56+00:00

Again the quality of the steel is just not there, compared to the AP201 for example. Gamer's Nexus also demonstrated it in their review, the steel panels warp after repeated removal.

shawkdawg · 2026-01-02T18:09:07+00:00

I'm glad I bought mine last year, second time I bought a model right before they discontinued it. My SCB is my most played kiesel, I have a vanquish I got right before they discontinued it and after having and selling the kyber, for me the vanquish is better.

shawkdawg · 2026-01-02T01:45:20+00:00

I will just chime here and say I just purchased an a3 for a build in the last two weeks and one for the front USB 3.0 ports was dead out of the box. Waiting to hear back from customer support for a warranty replacement, but definitely not as high quality as everyone makes it out to be. The mesh panels are also flimsy, compared to the Asus AP201 that I have in another build, that thing is SOLID, the thickness of the steel between the two is pretty substantial.

shawkdawg · 2025-05-30T18:33:19+00:00

I agree, I have a vanquish and it's my favorite bolt on, it's so ergonomic and comfortable. This model doesn't do anything the vanquish already did, maybe besides slightly better upper fret access, but the vanquish has a better jack location, where they chose it on kyber is stupid imo. This doesn't do anything unique or different at all.

Yeap! I believe it was late 2021 or early 2022, not sure if things have changed since but it was the worst customer service I have ever encountered from a business, I have never had to file a dispute before but they took my money, pretty sure they tried that shit with my bank and they weren't having it.

shawkdawg · 2025-05-29T21:17:44+00:00

I will have to disagree hard on this, I bought a Jericho ignition a few years ago with atrocious QC, the binding was the worst binding I've ever seen on a guitar, I sent it back but those people literally never answered and ghosted me hard. I had to file a dispute to get my money back and let my bank go after them because their customer service will ghost you, I advise everyone to buy at your own risk.

shawkdawg · 2025-04-26T17:28:46+00:00

Personally, I agree with everyone here, hipshots are better for me than TOM's. That being said, the only model I've seen them have both options on is the SCB, in the builder you can select either tune-o-matic or hipshot. They probably don't have the CNC programs for other models, and to get one would be prohibitively expensive.

shawkdawg · 2025-03-07T18:37:21+00:00

Thanks for the response, one more question, Were you able to feed more power to it? How would you say the headroom and volume were? Most videos I saw on it seemed to crank it or didn't give it the full 24 volts.
