    Hi IrvSp,

     

    If you reboot both router and the modem, will it have the same problem?

JamesGL, I've tried these after the ISP replaced the modem and the problem remained:

 

  • Going back a release of the F/W
  • Ensured the settings were correct (they were)
  • Checking after a few hours... still had the problem
  • Did the 30-30-30 Reset.
  • The router DID not really reset? That is the settings were retained?
  • Went back to the latest release and followed the above steps again

Aren't the settings supposed to be wiped out with the 30-30-30 reset? I KNOW I've done it before and they have been? One easy way for me to tell is that I set the lights to be OFF, only the Power on. That doesn't change after the reset nor do any settings? This is on the V1.0.9.12_1.2.23  firmware.

 

Also I discovered something 'odd' on the Connection Status on the Advanced Tab.

 

Connection Status
 
IP Address67.xx.xx.xx
Subnet Mask255.255.248.0
Default Gateway67.xx.xx.xx
DHCP Server10.120.0.1
DNS Server75.114.81.1
209.18.47.62
75.114.81.2
Lease Obtained0 days,1 Hours,52 Minutes
Lease Expires0 days,1 Hours,44 Minutes
 

 

What goes with that LEASE data? Who is doing this? The router only asking for a limited time or my ISP on providing limited time? I'd think that would explain the TIME SYNC's as the lines I've deleted shows the IP Address the router got from the ISP... consistent with the Lease renewal? Also, I've tried the 30-30-30 a few times and that Lease time changes on each reset, low of 1 hour and 20 minutes to a high as shown above.

 

Is this a FLASH problem? Router problem? ISP problem?

 

The new Modem is getting time at a completely difference schedule as well it seems:

Heck, nothing is working even as we're asleep. NOTE they all end with :43 too?

Have any idea what is going on? Has my router failed in some way or should I be 'looking' at my ISP?
