[Shop-talk] wireless router help

[Peter Murray]

Sorry for the late reply, I just got back from a long trip!

Those error messages look like minor DOCSIS cable infrastructure issues.
I'd get on with your ISP support and have them make sure there aren't
signal or other issues.

None of what I'm seeing of those 4 look terribly problematic, but I'm sure
there are many more errors. They're pretty constant on my Cox
cablemodem (most cablemodems are accessible for your viewing via
192.168.100.1).

About 5 years ago on my Cox Business connection, I had an issue where every
140 minutes, my modem would lose sync for 15 or so seconds and then
reconnect. Cox refused to involve the DOCSIS (Cable's high-speed data
modulation over RF/Coax protocol) team until they'd replaced lines, modems,
dug in my yard, etc - but in the end, it was indeed a DOCSIS issue.

About 20 years ago, I had an ADSL connection with Verizon (768K/128K). Was
really happy with it until I realized that everytime I'd establish a SSH
connection to a not-very-remote Linux system, my modem would lose sync.
Nobody could figure it out, so after some runaround, modem swaps and other
palaver, I told the provider to disconnect, and I got SDSL (512K/512K)
which didn't exhibit that or any other issues for as long as I used it. I
also noticed that the original ADSL line never stopped working, so I
continued to use it for as long as I lived there - but not for SSH.
