c7000-100nas Internet sync problems
Purchased a C7000 about a month and a half ago. Occasionally the Internet will go out but I can usually reconnect by disconnecting power to the modem and rebooting. However on two occasions the mo...
Hi,
can you please post the power values?
As you can see from the data below the Modem is currently synced up. The problem is that when ever there is either an Internet cable interruption or a power interruption a reboot is required. Sometimes it will sync up within a few tries-sometimes not. Today it took somewhere around 30+ tries to get it to sync. Sometimes I'm lucky and it only takes two or three tries.
Time Warner has rolled a technician twice, and each time when the technician connected his test modem the Internet worked. They are adamant that the problem does not lie with Time Warner, and given that their Modems work I have to agree.
I had to call Netgear tech support today because the modem was down again and the Internet connection wasn't working. Netgear tech support advised me today that a firmware update should be coming out in the next few days. The modem is currently on Firmware Version V1.01.15
Time Warner has advised me that there is a problem with these modems and that they are awaiting a firmware update. According to the technician that showed up, due to the number of issues they are having, they considering temporairly pulling this particular Modem from their approved list.
They bumped the values up a but to try help the sync process

One of the upstream channels dropped out. I hesitate to reboot the router because of the problems getting it to Synchronize
I would like to get a firm estimate on when on when the firmware upgrade will be pushed out.

Since I see that Netgear will only respond to the negative reviews on Amazon. I'll add one more complete with a screenshot of the error log showing the synchronization problems. It's a shame that it comes to that, but this is really lousy support.
If that doesn't work I'll start with a list of executives from the financial page, and e-mail them about what lousy support Netgear provides these days.
