@lolzors have a look at message # 471 (top post) on the following page for instructions on requesting the trial version, 4.5.8.22.

When you are sending the private message as indicated in that post, also log into your modem and copy the HFC MAC address and modem Serial number and paste that into the message. The HFC MAC Address and modem Serial Number can be found on the STATUS page that is displayed when you log into the modem. The Cable Modem MAC Address and S/N can also be found on the back of the modem.
@eddiethefunnyon wrote:@RogersDave Any updates on how well testing is going for 4.5.8.25?
Eddiethefunnyon,
At the moment, firmware 4.5.8.25 is on hold. We have identified some issues that are preventing us from deploying it on a larger scale. We are working with Hitron on the next iteration at the moment.
I will post the details in message #2 of the feedback thread.

Rogers has started pushing out the 4.5.8.22 firmware so is there any need for the beta ?
The firmware 4.5.8.22T3 is currently being deployed on CGN3ACSMR modems. The deployment should be completed in the next few days. Deployment is not yet scheduled for other models.
For subscribers with a CGN3ACSMR, if you are requesting the trial strictly to fix a Chromecast issue, it is probably better to wait until you receive it as part of the normal deployment.
If you want to test the latest and greatest firmware that we have available (we are expecting a new firmware in the coming days), then there is still value in registering for this trial.

What about the 3552 modem ?
The CGNM-3552 currently runs in production with either 4.5.8.19 or 4.5.8.21.
On that modem, in order to obtain 4.5.8.22T3, you currently need to be part of the firmware trial program.

@lethalsniper, did you have a look for a secondary beacon running on the modem as I indicated in the DSLReports thread?
What version of windows are you running on the laptop? Windows 10 Anniversay Update by any chance?
If you load and run inSSIDer, which is a wifi monitoring program, it will display all of the networks that it can receive and interpret. The display will show in text and graphics form, all of those networks. If there is a second beacon running, you will see it on both displays, running on the same channel as your network, but the text display will allow you to see the MAC address of the transmitting modem. That MAC address will be the same except for the last two right hand digits.
This is the last free version of inSSIDer which won't show the 802.11ac networks running in the 5 Ghz band. The newer licenced versions will. For the purposes of this discussion, this version will do the job.

The problem with the secondary beacon is recent, having arrived with firmware updates to the modems.
And.....its possible that with .22 loaded, you now have IPv6 up and running, whereas before its possible that IPv6 wasn't available. That brings up the possibility of other problems as it appears that Microsoft has made changes to the network part of Windows 10. Those changes appear to break IPv6 in some cases. So, it comes down to a question of, is this a modem issue with the secondary beacon running, or a Microsoft Windows 10 IPV6 issue which is now seen due to the modem update to .22 and the enabling of IPv6 across the network by Rogers. Maybe its a combination of both.
Here is one thing you can try, and that is to disable IPV6 in the laptop. You will have to be in the Admin account to do this. Navigate to START .... CONTROL PANEL .... NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER .... CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS (left hand side). That brings up the Network Connections panel. Right click on the Wifi or Ethenet adapter, and select Properties on the bottom of the menu. That brings up the Wifi or Ethernet properties panel, depending on your original choice. Scroll down to the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) selection. Uncheck the box on the left hand side. Hit OK at the bottom and then close all of the windows. Reboot the laptop. When the reboot is complete, bring up a command prompt with Admin access and type in the following:
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/renew
That should ensure that there is no IPv6 dns address in the cache and that any remaining IPv6 IP addresses are removed. Now the laptop is operating with IPV4 only, as it has been prior to the enabling of IPV6 across the network and the update to .22. Its still possible that the beacon issue is causing issues and its still possible that there is a Windows 10 problem on the go, but removing IPV4 might resolve some of this.
Have a go at that and see how it turns out.
With inSSIDer running, look at your network on both the text and graphics display. If you're running a 2.4 Ghz network, look for another network at or even slight above the level that your network is displayed at. Thats on the graphics display. Then, look at the text portion of the display. Sort the display by power level, by selecting the column title "Signal" That will sort all of the networks based on their received power. It should park your network and the hidden SSID network together. There should be a selection at the upper left hand side, Physical and Logical. The display is probably set for Logical, which shows the SSIDs of the networks. If you flip the selection to Physical, it will show the MAC id's. If you look at the MAC addresses of your network and the hidden SSID network, the MAC id's will be the same, except for the last two digits. That's really the tell-tale sign that the modem is transmitting a secondary beacon.
You can also take a screen shot, dump that into Microsoft Paint, wipe out your MAC address from the display,save it and then add it to a post so that I can have a look at it.
Edit; Here is a good example of this. Have a look at the following tread:
Have a look at the post by @MrAureliusR. His 2.4 Ghz network has an SSID of Kwangmyong. Look just below that and you can see a hidden SSID network running on Channel 8 as well. That is what you should be looking for, a high power hidden SSID network, very close to or even above the power level of your own network.
