I have Internet access for about six hours, then have to unplug the Adelphia provided cable modem. Was talking to someone at CompUSA today with a simular problem. They were buying a LinkSys Cable modem in hopes of solving the problem. I may do the same.

Call Adelphia and tell the tech your problem then ask him to look and see if your account is listed as powerlink Misc, if it is they will correct your account and your drops after 6 hours will go away.


I got it fixed. Actually, it's not your account listed as powerlink misc, it's the firmware. Terayon TJ715x comes with a generic firmware. In order to work with Adelphia network, the level 2 tech need to upgrade the firmware. To check if you have a generic firmware, try to connect the modem directly to your workstation then use IE to go to »192.168.100.1. You will see a diagnostic page for your cable model. If on that page you see a faster and slower button, then you have the correct firmware. If not you need to call tech support, and tell them to "upload the correct file to your cable modem". They use the term "file" for firmware.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8664665 Tue, 02 Dec 2003 10:54:31 EDT Re: router dropping connection after 6 hours http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8661557 Crazyf00L : "Call Adelphia and tell the tech your problem then ask him to look and see if your account is listed as powerlink Misc, if it is they will correct your account and your drops after 6 hours will go away."

1. Disconnect all cables.
2. Put router back in original box.
3. Bring it back to the store.
4. Get money back.
5. Buy a Microsoft Router.
6. Take all the time that you spend trying to figure out and fix what is wrong with your Linksys Router and take your kids out for ice cream.

Your router is blocking DHCP requests.


The router isn't blocking DHCP. The router is the DHCP client. It's the router that initiates and manages IP connectivity through it's WAN interface via DHCP.

With Linksys routers, the most common culprit is a firmware problem. I have had success by flashing it down a revision, then back up to the most current.

And please, no one try to blame this on the "Block WAN request" feature, that's not the problem.

It won't address the lease time of the IP tho.

I'm using a Terayon TG715x cable modem.

If the linksys router was blocking dhcp requests wouldn't that prevent it from getting an ip address in the first place? That's kind of the part that throws me; the fact that it works for a little while, then craps out almost as if service is being actively denied. I noticed that the dhcp lease according to the router page is around 12 hours, maybe it's not sending a renewal request early enough so Adelphia is cutting us off?

Thanks again,
bye.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8609569 Wed, 26 Nov 2003 01:48:08 EDT Re: router dropping connection after 6 hours http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8606690 UglyDork :

Yes

Your router is blocking DHCP requests. Your IP has a lease of 6 hours. After that, your computer will request a new IP addy. If the server does not receive a request, it will just assume your PC is off and not give you a new IP.

When this happens, you loose your connection. Something in your router is blocking that process.

Resetting your router to factory defaults would be a good place to start.

With Adelphia and most cable ISP's, there is no configuration needed. The router factory defaults to cable ISP ready.

At that point, reboot everything and see how the connection works.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8606690 Tue, 25 Nov 2003 20:08:59 EDT Re: router dropping connection after 6 hours http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8606619 adambpsu : What type of modem are you using?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8606619 Tue, 25 Nov 2003 20:02:39 EDT router dropping connection after 6 hours http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8606496 eighty7 : Hi,

I've got a linksys router splitting the connection between two computers at my house. The router will get an IP address, but about 6 hours later it loses connectivity to anything beyond the cable modem. Unplugging cable modem resolves the issue for another 6 hours. I've tried cloning the MAC address to that of the laptop used during installation to no avail. I've also upgraded to the latest firmware on the router.

Has anybody seen this before? Has anybody gotten a linksys (or any manufacturer) router to work with Powerlink in this area (San Diego)?

Thanks,
bye.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8606496 Tue, 25 Nov 2003 19:50:06 EDT
