Cable Forum - View Single Post - why is it that when I need to phone VM, they fail to deliver?

I have a WRT54G on 20Meg and have been seeing the same occasional loss of DHCP lease renewal as you. The simple answer is to reboot the router to force it to renew its lease with the modem.

The changes were evident after I was put back on the 50Meg set-up using Docsis file 1.1 as opposed to 1.0. The change was from never having to reboot the the router to frequently but of late it has held without rebooting which tends to point to something being done at VM's end.

My router is cloned to the MAC of my primary PC but as far as I can tell, a PC will automatically search for a new connection if dropped but a router just sits there like a dummy until its pre-programmed renewal time is right,

I do not think that anybody has asked you if other changes have taken place or what BB you are on and what appears in your event logs. I would guess that as you have had an IP change, that you are on 20Meg and have been migrated.
