FEEDBACK - Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem Firmware Trial

[deus]

A gigabit plan is 1000 Mbs and in a perfect world will provide ~ 120 MBs speed. Your d/l rate of  107 Mbs is  not there yet. Although it is good news to be on a quicker connection than before, the new speed just sucks a little less. ( Unless you mean MBs  and not Mbs.)

Sorry for the confusion, I meant MB/s

I can't post a screenshot from my cellphone but I will post one later when I get on my desktop.

@deus 

Here's the screenshot as promised.

I am on gigabit since it's released and it's the first I achieve download of over 100 MB/s.

System specs.

i7 5930k OC 4.3 GHZ

16 GB DDR4 2666mhz

RTX 2070

Using a wired connection of course!

funny part is I started the download, went to go get a glass of water and when I returned I was already at 10 GB downloaded... and then I noticed the speed.

Fun fact the lowest it dropped was 93 MB/s , but most of the time it was over 100 MB/s.

winner, congrats.

well, another week another restart.  the modem was online and traffic was a bit weird.  checked and the modem wasn't responding to pings anymore.  had to pull the plug on it to restart it again.

i guess this is my life now, back to restarting the modem once a week. 7.1.1.30 is a dud.

it's in bridged mode too, so it's disappointing that it borks even when it has none of the gateway functions turned on.

Firmware 7.1.1.30 is definitely not ready for release I've had to restart my modem multiple times, the 5g wifi disables itself. I tried it in bridged mode with router and still its unusable for daily use. Is there a way to revert to the stable firmware?

Hello,

I'm still seeing packet loss with low latency with Firmware 2.0.10.36T6 modem CODA-4582U. Is someone able to log into the device and check its state. I've seen this before but rebooting modem clears issue/state.

Also mentioned it in this massive thread

Maybe some Rogers infra engineer can ssh into modem and see if there's any weird kernel messages or whatever? I know it's running Linux on it

Signal levels look ok, generally though TX on some channels are a little low, 33 dBmV, RX is +4 on one channel and 8-12 dBmV on rest, SNR is good.

I don't want to reboot modem or the state it's in will be lost, until it happens again over time ...

Soooo, what’s going on with the firmware? Anyone know if there will soon be a stable 7.x version released? I was on the 7.1.1.30 trial and had to get kicked back to 36T6 because of serious stability issues. But now I’m finding that I have to reboot my modem a few times a week because the connection just ceases (modem lights are fine but no data). I think this is due to the rollback because I never had these issues with 36T6 prior to my initial upgrade to 7.1.1.30. I’m really hoping for a stable 7.x version release soon. It’s getting a bit frustrating now.

@Datalink

I see the new modem XB6 is now available as a standalone.. should I switch to that instead of the Coda?

[Datalink]

@JohnBeaudin thats rather interesting to say the least.  If you were going to switch, I'd choose the Technicolor CGM-4140.
