FEEDBACK - Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem Firmware Trial

[RogersIan]

Over the next few days we are going to be deploying 7.1.1.27 to both those of you on .21 as well as those on 36T6.

.27 has the new Intel SDK required to support OFDMA.

Thanks,

RogersIan

I decided to enable band steering and DFS and will see how it goes.  Got the weird issue again today where guest account showed up again. Rebooted.  Since 27 is coming along soon will wait.

As per what you mentioned, I may have had 7.1.1.21 for a while and didn't even realize it.  But I only started experiencing some strange issues the few days or so.

I thought .21 already had the new Intel SDK required for OFDMA.

@ablatt you are correct.  Continued roll-out was halted due to problems detected with that version.

Awesome news! can't wait to test  the new code, don't forget to push it my way when it gets available.

Is OFDMA only for the Hitrons? What about us XB6 users?

Hello Team - don't know when I was upgraded to the new CODA-4582 however this morning I woke up with "barely" my router working. Ethernet was fully borked, Wifi was half borked, MoCA was also borked.

192.168.0.1 simply said "UnknownError" in the HTML

Did a factory reset and I'm still on 7.x.x.x (too lazy to go back a page) and I was able to use the internet again. Disabled 2.4Ghz, setup 5Ghz, enabled MoCA, went to "Show Connected Devices" and basically it seems 192.168.0.1 is dead again.

Internet is working as I'm able to post this so I'm not going to fiddle with anything for now.

edit: UnknownError on 192.168.0.1 again.

edit2: By setting my DNS explicitly (on PC side) to Google DNS I seem to be able to use the internet again at least. Still getting unknown error on CODA.

Cheers

I have been upgraded to 7.1.1.27

Initial thoughts
1) Had to reboot modem to be able to access 192.168.0.1 again (was hanging and then unknown username error)

2) Speeds have dropped to 35mbps according to fast.com (was 150mbps on 7.1.1.21 and 250+ on version 2, this is while paying for 500mpbs speeds)

Edit: I disabled DFS, and poof, speeds back up to normal levels.  Will monitor for the next while.

Update to my previous post - I woke up again basically with dead internet, DNS only didn't work, however setting a static IP may have helped.

Might be DHCP messing up + UnknownError = sad times?

7.1.1.27

Seems like this new firmware is an absolute nightmare, so please don't upgrade me until it's fully fixed. On 36t6 and it's working wonderful on my gigabit plan, I'm happy with the current speeds and range.
