Found a partial solution to the “Your unit is updating, please wait for a moment” on Arris modem/routers. (At least the TG1672.) If you unplug the coaxial cable to disconnect it from the internet, you can log in to the router via LAN and change whatever needs changing. Then plug it back in and wait for it to reconnect.
This model is listed as “discontinued,” so I suspect that they shut off the update servers and the idiot thing keeps trying to connect to them anyway.
