@hoopdogg Wow.... thats crazy..... well its not the thing causing my issue, because my modem has always been plugged directly into my outlet in my office, and its alone in a corner, and all my hubs and switches are using other outlets, its acctually the only item on this particular outlet except my WD USB HDD that is plugged into my modem for network sharing and storage, but theres no way a 2TB HDD power supply could cause interfearance enough to consistantly and completly devistate a wifi signal, not with both directly into the two outlets on a wall.... If this is the case tho, and my HDD is potentially kicking my WAN out, Rogers is saying everyone neeeeds to give a fully dedicated home outlet to their modem in order for it to function correctly? thats a bit extreme and just non-sense in my mind, I think
Im more instinctual to think its still a FW issue, since others have also noted experiencing it, and I know a few friends personally who are still getting lots of intermittancy issues, WAN in particual, as most of them dont have a LAN setup at all or only 1 or two devices, but they are also not part of the beta trail.... but there are too many alarm bells ringing out FW or Network capacity issue or local S_Hub issues or possibly even slighlty damaged by weather, and un-noticed cabling, either above or below ground, that has gone un-diagnosed and therefore unrepaired, which could could be spread across the country in random areas, or a main linkage line thats hurting everyone at random....
These too many variables for an outsider to speculate very well where the issue is.
Im coming to take from the lack of consistant communications about further issues and firmware updates affored to the CODA being the problem, that its looking more and more like it is not a FW issues, and that is quite possible they are looking into some of the areas I have noted above as the possible reasons some people are having these issues and could be working on repairs and/or upgrades to stabailze the system for everyone. But between the weather and holidays and political "unsteadyness", if they are working on a network issue itself, Rogers probably isnt looking to fix the issues quickly, as cost and other potential factors may be greater if undertaken at this point in time, as upossed to after say in 6 or 8 months, after NAFTA negotiations with the USA are more clear, the value of the CA dollar comes up abit again, cost of materials and import fees may drop, and the weather is warmer. The costs to undertake any mayjor network upgrades or such would be greatly deminished then and would be of no consequence to them to wait, excet to upset a hand full of us customers, us, that keep on them about the issues.
And there arent many people willing to come here to complain and post anymore, I myself can barely find the time, and I work from home. And personally, even as a beta tester, I dont feel I should have to tell them myself, constantly, whats going on. There MUST be more info recorded when somthing goes weird with the WAN than what can be seen by myself in the CODA admin menu in gateway mode. Rogers MUST beable to see that all of a sudden, the IP address of every wifi device is lost and then replaced with incorrect, out-of-range, IP addresses. and if there is no log, thats kinda not good, since simple programs like WireShark keeps an amazing log of all network activity and therefore the idea isnt new or difficult to achieve. The problem with WireShark is, is that I must leaving it running, again myself, and monitor it until the network goes crazy to get any answer myself. But thats Rogers job in my opinion, and if Rogers has a log, why cant they open these logs and find out whats going on???? And if they dont, they should add a log program as part of the Beta agreements, and have it email or transfer data daily to the beta team to decifer and look for issues and inconsistancies. They not only own the modems in 99% of cases, I doubt anyone buys their modem, but they also have our direct permission thru the beta to bassically do what ever they want when ever they want. So why arent they?? My Opinion. Politics and Cost. If it was the CODA FW, Hitron and Rogers would be going full tilit to defend their product and fix it ASAP and just flash everyone the new FW.
