Re: should consider changing from CATV to fiber
Thanks for responding to my post Tom.
My provider does not seem be very "on top" of this issue. I have complained about dropping connections (Internet).
I am also seeing nighttime variations in signal (TV). I do not expect any solutions on this. I already replaced my Surfboard 4220 cable modem with a 5101 to no avail.
At this moment I am trying to look at the fiber ( for which I have a background). I would like to know more about the pieces of equipment at the entry and what they call a Hydra box.
Regarding the Static addresses, I'm not talking about the connection with my ISP. I thinking that if I assign Static addresses to my internal (home) network that even if I can't get the fiber solution at this time that maybe if their amp levels are so squirrely maybe assigning static addresses with stop my Linksys BERSR81 router/switch from trying to re assign addresses for my network everytime the CATV amp hiccups. I'm not the sharpest on the very technical details. Any help much appreciated. sorry about the novel

| Just a side note, the catv amplifiers does not reset for routine checks and such. They are ran 24/7 until it break down or there is network modifications. If the problem reside on the network, neighboors should have the same problem as you. If they do not, then the problem is in your house. |
