So few weeks ago I having issues with our replacement modem/router from Comcast. From WiFi to port forwarding, just what to expect about these as using them as routers. They will just fail all the time even at a certain amount of time it the WiFi will just quit and the modem part will still work. We use to reset this thing like every 2 weeks but now these days it happens like everyday now, it's really unacceptable. The Ethernet part works too as I have it connected to my main desktop all the time but another is that it also corrupts our phone line too.
Before we upgraded to this service that we use to use a Motorola modem along with our own TRENDnet router and that works just fine than this piece of ARRIS crap. We rarely have issues with that system. This really reminds me back in early 2006 that we have issues with our Netgear router which was our first router, it will just quit a certain amount of time and to reset it that we have to unplug the router for 1 minute.
Since this is the second router I'm complaining in this blog but as explained before that we have this one that the same exact that does the same thing, one time the guy replaced it. It was reliable after he replaced it and then it becomes having the same problems. We're going to Comcast to get that replaced along with some TV boxes since we're planning on switching to basic. All as far as I hope that the third replacement works good.
Now another issues here is it doesn't let me to leave my port forwarding all the time just for one Minecraft server I'm trying to run, with Comcast it should be free to port forward and they shouldn't care either. How irony is this? How can you let your customers just access your router settings and then reset them when they reset your boxes all the time, even just allow them to port forward? We're paying $70/m for the service, not the bullcrap that the router gives. It will just disable every single setting I have modified in these routers back to default, now that ridiculous.
Well I'm finding a solution to find that TRENDnet router and once I find it then I will figure out on how to make the internet work with it without the phone lines acting up. I could use the ARRIS thing just as a modem instead and disable the WiFi option. Well I hope it works that way. That's all for this blog so I hope that I can find another way to make our internet reliable.
