So please reach out to ErnestTheGreat via PM if you still have your CAX80 and let him know.

So please contact Ernest and let him know.

My experiance has been that WOW will not work with us on this issue from their end; customer service just insists that the issue is with your modem and the only thing they will offer is to send out a tech (who will then use a motorola modem, show you that it works with their modem, and then charge you for the house visit...trust me...i'm well aware of that lol). WOW will do very little troubleshooting of customer-owned modems before they just say "sorry, rent ours".
