Re: Lightning Update:
GREAT NEWS! I had thunderstorms all around me this afternoon, one lighten flash after another and I did not lose sync not one time. My friend who lives two house down from me, who still has a Westell 6100 modem, lost sync several times within a 30 minute period. I just don't understand it! I have had BellSouth/AT&T techs out here at my house several times, and they still could not find the problem. This had been going on for three years. I replaced my Westell 6100 for a Netopia 2241IN and it fixes my losing sync problem. Incredible!

Kings Mountain, NC | Congratulations Gordon1fan! It worked for BOTH Of us. They really need to scrap the Westell 6100 and ship the Netopia 2241N to everybody. It even worked better when you have lower S/N ratios.
Seems like they reserve the Netopia for there 'more important' business customers. :-( |

I swear, any kind of distant or nearby thunder is torture for my Westell 6100. My old, clunky 2Wire, however, doesn't have a problem with it.
=/ What am I gonna do though when I get Extreme 6.0 (if it EVER becomes available in my area), seeing as it uses the ADSL2+ standard (and with my luck, I'll need it)? |

1 edit | This is all a bit surprising to me because I used to think the Westells were good DSL modems. I guess I'll have to look into getting a Netopia to fix my lightning problems.
Which would be a better choice, the Netopia 2241N or the 3346? |
