victorrt24 If you start your own thread, you'll get help directly with your situation. (we also encourage users to have their own thread so their troubleshooting doesn't get mixed up with the OP)
Makes sure to post your device, firmware on it, a good description of the problem, and what you've done to try to resolve it.
I appreciate the feed back but as mentioned there is already multiple threads on this without a solution. Same modem same issue. We just need a solution.

And if you want help, please don't thread jump to get it. Its part of the terms and conditions. Its fine to chime in and say "me too" so the mod's know there's more people with the issue. But if you're actually wanting help, then you need your own thread to not confuse what's being done with the OP and you. Here's the T&C
