Just a guess here, but is it possible that the ISP is cycling limited
bandwidth through their customer base because of the problems? Thus,
you get hit periodically, and when you reboot, you get allocated from
the current group. You could ask them.
Thanks for reply. The cable modem only has these menu options.
s
Status
HW/FW Versions
Event Log
CM State
Advanced
The first 4 only show info, have no options to do anything other
than zero out some counters.
The Advanced option prompts for a password of day?? Found web
site that figures out password of day, but it uses a default seed,
and the password it generates doesn't work. So don't know what
options it might show?? Did just order a $15 remote control outlet,
so when get it will be able to click off, then click on rather than
physically unplugging modem.
Is sent info to ISP, but haven't got a good reply yet. Asked if it was
plugged into UPS, which it is.
Also, I don't have a cable modem, but on my modem, in the menus,
there
is an option to ask for a new lease (?), I think it is called. That
is, it drops the current connection and goes through the sign on
protocol with the ISP to get assigned a new IP address. Does your
modem have something similar? Easier than a power cycle? Maybe.
It always gets the same IP address, and running speed test cli
gives the proper speed to all 4 local Guam speed test servers and
to one in San Diego.
The time between the issues varies greatly.
In last week had 44 outages going from highs of 7 hours, down to 7
less than 1 hour.
7 2
6 3
5 4
4 3
3 7
2 6
1 12
0 7
44
So, if it was a time or user thing would think it would be a range of
times versus random times. Shortest on reappeared after just 4
minutes?
Was just wondering if there might be some command that might
give more data. Also, see TV doing the same thing popping up with
No Internet Available messages. So definitely something between
cable modem and ISP.
Thanks again.
