Comcast customers: will Firmware V3.01.14 fix my N450 (CG3000Dv2) connectivity issues?
For the past half a year, my N450 (CG3000Dv2) cabel modem router has been completely unreliable. It regularly drops connection. Sometimes restarting helps, sometimes it doesn't. I've rebooted the box a couple times, and that helps for maybe a day, sometimes less. This connectivity issue seems to be a common complaint for N450, and also seems to be tied to the V3.01.06 firmware (makes sense to me, based on when my problems started). I see that V3.01.14 has been pushed by Comcast to its customers. Any Comcast N450 customers on here who had connectivity issues with V3.01.06? And if so, did those problems go away with V3.01.14? I have Spectrum, which is still using V3.01.06. It's really frustrating to be experiencing this problem, especially since I had suffered through the same issue over a year ago. That time, the probably spontaneously resolved, presumably when the Firmware was updated. I think it happened around the same time as the Time Warner Cable merger with Charter, and this time the problem seems to correspond with the mergers with Spectrum.Intermittent wireless Internet drops
Model: C3000 Firmware: V2.02.08 OS: OSX 10.11.6 I'm having an increasingly technically issue where my wireless connection drops and all my connected devices are not able to connect to the Internet. First, all the modem/wireless lights remain green and I stay connected to the network however when I disconnect from wifi and attempt to reconnect I'm prompted to enter my wifi password and it comes back incorrect. The only way to resolve the issue is to manually restart the router and everything is fine. I've changed the wireless settings to manually connect to the best wireless channel and I've disabled Access Control to ensure there's no devices being blocked. It's getting frustrating as this issue is happening my frequently. It used to be every 2-3 days now its several times a day. Please help! Edit: I've pulled the event logs and I'm seeing DoS attack? How can I stop this?
