Hi,
I noticed that in the last week or so, my RCA DCM235 reboots all by itself for no apparent reason.
I'm on Adelphia in Scranton, PA and in the last 4 weeks, their service has become cripplingly slow. I'm wondering if the modem is rebooting because it's losing sync?
What pisses me off is that, once it reboots, I lose my connection and I have to reboot my router because I'm assigned a new IP. Frustrating!
Here are my modem settings:
Forward Path:
Signal Acquired at 729 MHz
SNR: 36.1 dB
Received Signal Strength: -6.1 dBmV
Micro-Reflections: 25 dBc
Modulation: 64 QAM
Return Path:
Connection: Acquired
Frequency: 34 MHz
Power Level: 56.0 dBmV
Channel ID: 7
Modulation: QPSK
Data Service Details
Provisioned Address: Yes
Provisioned Time: Yes
Provisioned Configuration: Yes
Registered: Yes
BPI: Enabled
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this!

RCA DCM 235 Modem Rebooting
The problem with that modem is that anybody on your node can reboot your modem.
The first hop in a traceroute will be a 10.xxx.xxx.1 number.
Your modem will be one of the numbers between 10.xxx.xxx.2 and .254
Anyhow, I live in Seattle and can reboot @Home customer modems in Spokane.
I just wish AT&T would do something to stop this from happening.
BTW, you can find your modem IP by incrementing by 1 in your web browser, the IP address.... When your Modem reboots you've found yours. If your is say, 200, then you just rebooted up to 199 other modems in your search for the RCA diagnostic page !!!

I tried that (got my modem IP) but it didn't do anything except give me an error msg when I put the IP addy in my browser.Originally posted by DaveM
