ka3sgm posted Actiontec Firewall "HIGH" Setting Disables VOD
on 2007-02-11 13:24:36
"I was checking the security settings on my Actiontec on Friday, and moved the security setting from Medium to High. This morning my kids tell me that there is something wrong with the cable box in my living room, the on demand had an error that it could not receive on demand at this time. I checked my other 2 boxes and they have the same problem. I thought about it for a while before I was going to call the FSC and open up a trouble ticket, because the guide was still working. I almost ruled out problems on my end. On a whim, I went back to the router and moved the security back to medium(I have separate firewall software on my PCs anyway), and BAM, the on demand was working again. I can't understand why Actiontec would design a security feature that disables one of the prime functions of the router. Anyone else see this problem? Maybe the new .126 firmware corrects it?" »Actiontec Firewall "HIGH" Setting Disables VOD Function???
Sounds like to me you should not be touching something that you have no clue about. The actiontec router is not your property and should be only accessed by verizon techs. I only wished that they offered it in my area. You have no idea how lucky you are. | |

| Get A Life, really, please get a life yourself. Why would Actiontec include a customer accessible security feature that would cripple one of the primary functions of their router??
It does not make any sense. My home network is MY network, and keeping scumbags out is a foremost concern!
May future firmware fix this problem? I can only hope, as I don't want to have to launch DOS attacks on individuals that try to infringe on my personal web traffic, but I am fully prepared to do so if necessary ! Add a little Muguito and some bandwidth, and they can bring it on! I am ready !!!
