But thanks for the asistance on the microcell issue!!! . Fixed!!
Glad you got it working.
Sadly you can't update the firmware on the modem. Its locked and not user upgradeable. Only the isp's can update modems.
Try this temporarily.
hook the microcell directly to the modem and not include the router.
reboot both devices and see if it works.
reason I say this is ISP's are horrible at updating firmware on modems that are 3rd party. I'd be betting it isn't necissarily the modem causing it.
Beleave it or not - it worked! I disconnected everything and started with the modem only - nothing connected to it. Booted the modem all by itself. Then connected the microcell only to the modem and booted the microcell. It started working. Then I disconnected the microcell, connected the router to the modem and booted the router. Then I moved the the microcell connection to the router (I did not turn off or reboot the microcell) - it was still working.
So, thanks for the solution!
