## Description

ARRIS SURFboard Manager is evolving into SURFboard Central, delivering a refreshed UI and a centralized experience for managing SURFboard devices. The migration is designed to be seamless for both new users and existing customers, simplifying onboarding and keeping settings in sync.

For devices: SBG8300/SBG10/SBG7580-AC/SBG6950AC2/SBG7400AC2/SBG7600AC2, new customers should start with SURFboard Central for onboarding, and existing customers will be prompted to transfer data to the new app. For legacy devices (SBR-AC3200P/SBR-AC1900P/SBR-AC1200P/SBX-AC1200P), stay tuned—support will be added in a future update; in the meantime, continue using ARRIS SURFboard Manager to manage those devices.
