I'm on 2.0.10.26T2 and am getting HORRIBLE WiFi speeds.  When I was able to get speeds of upwards of 500Mbit, I'm lucky to see 80-100Mbit right now.  Any way of going back to an older version because this is unacceptable.  Thanks!


You can go back to the network wide release firmware by doing a factory reset of the modem. Use a pen tip or similar object to push and hold the reset button on the back of the modem for 10 seconds, then release. The modem will reboot and you'll have to set everything back up.

 


Thanks.  I just did a rollback to .24 and I'm _very_ happy there.  Network shares were fixed with that release so I'm gonna stick with this for now.

Only thing I forgot about was running an ethernet connection to the router to restart and now I'll have to reset all of my forced IP addresses again.  A bit of pain.  😕

Re: Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem – Firmware Trial

Hi @travelguy89

 

Welcome to the Community Forums!

 

Wait times can definitely be testing. Are you able to confirm the firmware version?  We don't have any pending requests at this time.

 

Let us know to further assist.

I just got my CODA a couple of weeks back and it came stock with the .26 firmware. Is there any way to go back to .24 I too am having horrible latency and wifi speeds.

 

Please advise

Re: Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem – Firmware Trial

If you reboot the modem it will update to .27 which is a much better firmware version.  .27 was released today as the latest production version for the 4582.  As usual, my advice, after the update the reboot is complete, is to run another reboot.  I've always seen better performance after an update and second reboot.   Can you post the downstream and upstream tables from the STATUS .... DOCSIS WAN page.  The copy and paste process will paste in the text data from the tables.

I am on the trial version of 27. Will I get the Final Public release of the firmware. I have done a reboot on Coda and checked the log, I did not see any software init.

Re: Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem – Firmware Trial

Unless there have been any changes to .27, and I am unaware that has happened, the trial version .27 will be the same as the final production version .27. 

Re: Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem – Firmware Trial

Understood.
Is anyone aware of anymore trial versions in the near future? This could be the stable one for awhile ,,maybe

Re: Rogers Rocket Wi-Fi Modem – Firmware Trial

Dave is waiting for .29 release from Hitron.  That might take another month.  Wifi improvements are slated for inclusion in .29.

ahh, sometimes but not always.  By the time the trial version goes out to the trial modem group, its reasonable to expect that version to remain the same until production release.  That doesn't necessarily work out that way all the time however.

I've been here awhile

Is there any added benefit of being on the trial if not used in bridge mode?

I don't have my CGN3 set up in bridge mode, but I've been getting latency issues where the connection drops every few days and I have to power cycle the modem and my routers.

@ybc Yes, the trial beta firmware benefits users in gateway mode or bridge mode! If you are currently on an Ignite 100u or higher package (unlimited usage plan) you can swap to the new CODA Modem. I would highly suggest swapping to the new CODA modem and signing up for the latest beta firmware. If you stay with the CGN 3 then I would suggest getting the latest beta firmware also, because it brings a lot of improvements.

 

To join the beta program send a PM to @CommunityHelps with the subject "Beta Firmware Trial" in the message include your account number, modem MAC address, and modem serial number. The last two can be found when you log into the modem.
