Hey all,
So, I have a coax internet connection, but the modem is really shitty, and is locked out. So I got an arris modem but it has severe reliability problems, so did another of those docsis modems. So was looking into getting it “adapted/converted” to an Ethernet connection somehow with a box A (say) and bridge it to my R7800.
Is there something I can use? xfinity sometimes seems to be “remote-controlling” and messing up stuff (the remote-reboot etc from their app).
Please recommend a dumb, simple device that can just bridge coax to my modem. Basically, I want my R7800 (or any other device) to get IP from the ISP and then handle the network. 2.5Gigs for the ethernet port would be nice, but 1Gbps is okay too
Have you checked your signal levels at 192.168.100.1? That might explain why 2 modems are “shitty”.
Yeah I have. They keep randomly rebooting, the web ui keeps hanging if coax is not connected, and is generally buggy and unstable. This happened with both the arris modems I purchased (different models). The firmware is really old on these, and it keeps dropping all connections almost every 2 days. All this while I’m separated from the thing with just one wall, and barely ~7 meters away
So I thought I’ll get a coax-ethernet … Something that does that perfectly. Apparently moca can’t be used so I’m looking for a modem without wifi to keep costs down. But I can’t find good recent makes of docsis modems
I see you also found OPs reddit post and responded there 😂
But yeah OP what you’re trying to do isn’t possible, see my other comment.
