CAX80 Reboot Issues
I was just wondering if anyone had issues with the CAX80 rebooting constantly when experiencing a carrier outage? I have Spectrum in central Florida, and due to storms and infrustructure in the area,...
Yes, one thing that the CAX80 does is to reboot itself if the incoming signal is dropped from the ISP service box. I have asked about this and seems to be appart of the design. Not sure why they have to reboot the entire system. Ya think they could separate the modem from the router portion. I guess they can't. :smileyfrustrated:
The networking and router portion of the CAX should remain intact and working after the modem gets a signal from the ISP and it comes online again.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute them back ON.
