Sudden loss of modem sync

Hi all

Re: Sudden loss of modem sync

something dodgy is going on, you can see it is trying to establish a connection to the CMTS but it cant complete it for some reason. I would give tech support a ring if i were you, you might find it is an area fault.

Re: Sudden loss of modem sync

Any mention of Access Denied in the status? At around the same time my modem did exactly the same thing. It was removed from the network by an overzealous anti-fraud script, had to get it re-activated.

Item Status Comments
Acquired Downstream Channel 536 MHz In Progress
Ranged Upstream Channel N/A Other
Provisioning State In Progress DS Scanning
Ethernet Link Status Up 100 Mbps/Full duplex


Status just stays at in progress, I have logged it with tech support they are sending a technician out to me Friday to hopefully fix it there saying it's a local not an area issue. Just posted on the off chance it might be an easy fix but seems not thanks all

Re: Sudden loss of modem sync

Same thing's happening to me. On Tuesday night it dropped off for 2 hours or so, happened today again for around 5 minutes, and just now but came right back on.

Same log errors, access denied etc etc... strange!

Re: Sudden loss of modem sync

if you are getting access denied i dont think the engineer can do anything about it because it isnt a physical problem. He will need to make a phone call to get your modem re-enabled on the network
