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.

Thanks.  I'll try that if it happens again.

Just got reset to .35.

Thanks for the quick response.

I've had no issues with .35 and everything was optimal prior to the update.

 

I was quite surprised when the 10/10 issue that is being discussed happened to me after the .37 update.

Hopefully you can get the bugs worked out.

Looks like maybe we have all been rolled back to .35, I was about an hour ago.

Still on .37 here, no noticeable difference in speed over previous firmware but I am running gateway not bridged.

@RogersIan 

Was rolled back to .35 this morning. In bridge mode without  modem reboot, speeds across various servers within 50 km in Toronto now more linear and consistent at 900/30. I am pleased and hope it will remain consistent. Thank you !

Okay here's another update, no ethernet connections, typically our wifi with the Coda 4582u Modem is average between 700-850ish speeds, it's now maximum up to 400ish, which means I'm getting speeds of the 500u package when paying for the gigabit package.

 

I've tested ethernet and the same thing is going on, sometimes as low as 150mb?  If possible, is it related to the area node and any maintenance that was done?  I ask because I saw a rogers technician working on the large node for our streets in Stouffville at the end of my road yesterday.  Also now the OFDM/OFDMA has been disabled and our speeds suck.  If possible, @RogersIan can you please also revert me back to the most stable production firmware?

Re: FEEDBACK - Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem Firmware Trial

@Alborze can you log into your modem and check the Software (firmware) version that is shown on the STATUS page.  I think most trial users were reverted back to 7.1.1.35 around midnight last night, although there may be a few that might still have 7.1.1.37 loaded.  

 

If you have .35 loaded now, reboot the modem and see if that resolves the data rate issues and restores the OFDM downstream channel.  

 

Did you have an OFDMA (upstream) channel running before and if so, does the reboot restore that channel?

 

You would have to check with Tech Support to determine if there is a work order outstanding for the neighbourhood node for your location.  I'm guessing that Tech Support would have access to that info, but, I wouldn't count on it.  If the reboot doesn't restore the OFDM downstream and OFDMA upstream channel, my guess is that there is additional work to do at the neighbourhood node.  That should be a point of discussion with Tech Support.

I am still on .37 after a couple reboots. Prior to our ofdma was enabled and running and speeds where pretty good, seems like something changed without me doing anything.

Re: FEEDBACK - Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem Firmware Trial

@Alborze without the OFMD downstream channel running, the modem should still run gigabit speeds without any difficulty.  You really shouldn't be able to tell the difference, with OFMD downstream or without OFDM downstream.  The only exception that I can think of would be a situation where the neighbourhood node would be running with a majority of connected modems running DOCSIS 3.0 QAM channels, where they don't have the ability to run a DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM channel.  That would be dependent on the mix of modems connected to the neighbourhood node. 

 

I'm surprised that you're still on .37.  Perhaps Rogers is doing this by CMTS, or groups of CMTS connected modems every night until everyone is rolled back to .35.

 

If you have an OFDM downstream channel running but no OFDMA upstream channel running that wouldn't surprise me as there is obviously a problem with the OFDMA upstream channel, either with the neighbourhood equipment or with the processing of the OFDMA waveform and data at the modem and/or CMTS.  There's been no public announcement from Rogers but, there's obviously an issue that they're trying to sort out. 

Re: FEEDBACK - Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem Firmware Trial

@Triple_Helix your upstream signal levels are too high.  Unfortunately Rogers won't do anything until the upstream QAM channels reach 52 dBmV, and, you have one channel that's almost there.  The mystery at this time is whether or not the OFDMA upstream channel is within specs. 

 

Send a message to @CommunityHelps asking @RogersAndy @RogersTony or @RogersMoin to check the upstream OFDMA Mibs.  Thats a breakdown of the OFDMA channel into sub-channels, each with its own signal level and Signal to noise ratio.  Tech Support Tier 1 techs don't have access to that data, so, there's no point calling Tech Support.  However, Tech Support Tier II techs do have access to that data, so, its either the moderators, or Tech Support Tier II techs that can check the OFDMA upstream channel.  The Tier I techs only have access to a single line of data which lumps all of the sub-channels into one data line so you really can't tell whats going on within the OFDM or OFDMA channel and I wouldn't presume that the channel signal levels are flat, from beginning to end.  The QAM channels aren't, although they should be and I've seen some pretty crazy signal levels from numerous customers.  

 

Your downstream QAM data looks ok, and I'm guessing that the OFDM channel should be ok as well.  Its the same situation for the OFDM downstream data, the moderators, or Tech Support Tier II techs that can check the OFDM downstream channel.

 

Are you using a splitter or powered amplifier on your cable system?  That would be located at the point where the external cable connects to the internal house cables.  I'm wondering why you have such a huge discrepancy between the downstream levels which are ok and the upstream levels which are near the failure point in terms of the maximum upstream power levels. 

 

I'm on:

Hardware Version 2A
Software Version 7.1.1.35

 

I was running .37 without any problems, with the modem in Bridge mode.  That was rolled back last night just after midnight to .35.

24hrs after rollback to .35.....System still stable and consistent @ mean of 875/30.
Dwn/Up stream channels look OK, I think?  No issues so far.😀 😀 😀!

We are in the process of rolling everyone back to 7.1.1.35 as some users experienced intermittent drops in speed.

Our vendor is reviewing the logs captured to determine the root cause.

Re: FEEDBACK - Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem Firmware Trial

@Triple_Helix with those numbers, as posted, call tech support and ask the Customer Support Rep to run modem signal check.  That check should fail, followed by a conversation to see a field tech booked for a home visit. 

 

With QAM upstream signal levels at or above 52 dBmV, I expect that signal check to fail automatically.  The other question is whether or not the upstream OFDMA signal level also fails the check.  

 

I'd be very interested if Tech Support blows you off and indicates that there's no problem at this point.

Here is what I got from one of the Mods here!

 

According to my tests here, this is an area with a known congestion problem. Until we split the node, there is not much that we can do to resolve the issues that you're experiencing. I am sorry.

Hello all,

 

We plan to rollout a spin off from our recent 7.1.1.37 build with a patch for the slow speed issue seen in the original release.

Please keep an eye out of the next couple of days for this.

As always your feedback is greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,
RogersIan

I've been using the patched version of 37 for a while now.
There have been no repeats of the 10/10 bandwidth issue.
However, the GUI access is still not reliable and results in not being able to reach the login screen. A reboot is required to clear this, but after a while it gets hosed again.
