Hello Community,
We are currently offering our users an exclusive opportunity to participate in an upcoming trial of the new firmware for our Rocket Wi-Fi Modem (CGN3ACR, CGN3AMR and CGN3ACSMR) and Rocket Gigabit Wi-Fi Modem (CGN3552 and CODA-4582). For details of this program, please see this thread.
This thread will be used for feedback regarding the firmware. We've invited @RogersSergio, @RogersSyd & @RogersBob from our Networking team to participate in this thread. Your feedback is very valuable and will be used to enhance the firmware before it is released publicly.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support.

So your firmware was rolled back to .20? Strange. I can gladly report that after several days with .21, I have not experienced the issue with LAN ports shutting off. When I had the issue, it was daily for me, so this new firmware seems to be working well.
Yup, that was my experience too... until this morning. I'm guessing that the downgrade to .20 happened overnight... and boom, problem is back.
I reached out to @CommunityHelps ; I really hope someone can get me back to .21 today otherwise it's going to be a painful weekend (last weekend, one day I had to power cycle the modem FOUR TIMES)...

Hi VivienM
We have a system that ensures modems are running a current version of firmware. The system periodically checks all modems and performs upgrades/downgrades as required.
Normally when modems are running a special version of firmware, we have to exclude them from this system but as one of the first participants in this trial, your modem was missed.
I went ahead, initiated an upgrade back to 4.5.8.21T6 and have made sure your modem is being excluded from automatic downgrade.
@RogersDave, you are my hero. Modem just updated itself to 4.5.8.21 and my weekend is saved. Thank you so much!

@VivienM Glad to hear you've received the .21 update! Hopefully this helps resolve some of the issues you've been having. Since this is a trial version though, from time to time the internet may go down due to updates still being pushed to our modems which will require a factory reset.

You cannot download it yourself nor flash the modem yourself, it has to be done from the coax connection.
You need to send an email to @CommunityHelps with the subject "Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem Firmware Trial"

just wondering if this new firmware upgrade is causing these issues that are worse then before the upgrade..

The problem isn't the data rate or successful single pings. The problem is the latency that is showing up in applications and ingame. If you look at the following ping test to the first node beyond my modem, you can see the second and forth pings, which are high time pings.

Ping statistics for 99.239.32.1:
Packets: Sent = 5, Received = 5, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 12ms, Maximum = 199ms, Average = 73ms
So, with just 5 pings, my average ping time is 73 ms. In a few more pings, there will be another high time ping or equal or greater time. My average ping time to the first node historically has been 10 ms. Now, if I let this run long enough my average ping time will be 20 to 30 ms with visible high time pings. Consider this, this is the first stop on the road to everywhere, and I'm seeing high return times from that node alone. Fwiw, I'm not the only one to see this in an application or possibly in a game. This is seen thru a CGNM-3552 with V4.5.8.21 running gigabit service out to a Casa CMTS. Its an interesting combination, higher data rates and higher latency. So something is up, so to speak.
Here are some examples of graphed ping times out to the first node beyond my CGNM-3552:

In order to see this run a trace to anywhere. Then ping the second address in the trace, which is the first node beyond your modem. Run it for something like 100 or 200 pings and just sit back and watch the ping times as they scroll by. You will probably see pings in the 20 to 30 ms range, then some high time ping possibly in the 200 to 300 ms timeframe. If you do this, please let me know what your results are. If by some chance you have an average in the 10 ms range, I'll probably ask you to send me a copy of the whole ping test so that I can have a look at it, ping by ping. The maximum number of pings that the command window will hold, so that you can copy it, is 293, despite the fact that the test itself might be much longer.
Just as an aside, your signal levels are in spec, but, personal opinion the downstream levels are pretty high. They should be down at 0 dBmV. But, if they aren't presenting any issues at this time, better to let sleeping dogs lie. Over the years that will come down as the external cable ages.

kool saw this post and thought i would give it a go...think maybe i might have a problem....did the tracert then used the 2nd ip to do a ping with..

My guess is that you're on a Cisco CMTS at the moment, which is probably set to not respond to pings.
When you have time, can you log into your modem, navigate to the STATUS ...... DOCSIS EVENT page and have a look for one of the following sequences:
a. CMTS-MAC=00:17:10 which indicates that you are connected to a Casa Systems Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), or;
b. any of the following which indicates that you are connected to a Cisco Systems CMTS.
1. CMTS-MAC=00:05:00
2. CMTS-MAC=00:12:43
3. CMTS-MAC=00:14:f1
4. CMTS-MAC=00:1f:ca
5. CMTS-MAC=e0:2f:6d
Please let me know what CMTS you're on, Cisco or Casa?
