Re: No problem for me Hi David,
All I want is for the Router to not crap out when there is no input from the WAN.
I want a functioning internal network while the cable modem is in standby mode.
This is what I could do with Linksys and Dlink, but not with the Belkin Pre-N.

This is what I could do with Linksys and Dlink, but not with the Belkin Pre-N. OK, then I strongly suggest that you and everyone else who see this as a legitimate issue to write the U.S. Networking Tech Support people at usnetsupp@belkin.com and request that they have the firmware adjusted accordingly -- if enough people write in and complain I suspect they would make the adjustment --- although what you may be requesting is not standard operating procedure because of a unique [and useful] feature provided by Motorola. The fact the Dlink and Linksys routers are not bothered by a WAN port gone silent over extended periods of time is not a material argument -- although perhaps it should be  |

| Good advice, mozerd - I'll do that.
We have probably inconvenienced too many electrons on this matter already, but let me belabor the point a bit longer.
What if I wanted a wireless network for file sharing and resource sharing (like printing, etc) in an environment that was NOT connected to the internet.
I disconnected the motorola modem altogether, and the results are the same. If there is no input from the WAN, the modem locks up after a few hours. This is not because of the funny switch on the top of the cable modem.
Do you think this is a valid, possible use for the modem? I would probably include this as the MAIN issue in my email to Uncle Belkin.
Does anyone else need the Pre N to function in this matter?
