Re: Wierd Modem(only) traffic
said by deblin  :Looks to me like you have a SOHO router of some sort with UPnP enabled. Those are multicast packets, specifically SSDP. I did enabled UPnP for the linksys wireless IP cam. But that was a while ago. This wierd thing started Just yesterday morning. |

Even with the power to router off the Send light is still steady. |

Middletown, DE | Ahh ok. Is this a device you own or are renting? Perhaps comcast pushed some new software/firmware to it somehow which enabled SSDP?

Think maybe they're checking on me why I was transmitting so much. Due to the Cam sending out? only when someone logs into it. I organally thought someone was logged into it. cam log show noone.

I would try disabling UPnP on any router(s)/PCs/devices on your network and see if the messages go away.
Did you by chance power cycle or reboot the cable modem recently? What I'm thinking might have happened is:
- enabled UPnP on cam
- cable modem joined the multicast group
- disabled UPnP on cam
- rebooted cable modem
And now it's trying to look for UPnP devices since it's not seeing anything from the cam anymore.
Try turning UPnP off on everything, then deep power cycle the modem (unplug for 30-60 seconds).

Also disabled the port foward for the cam.
and Checked 'Filter Multicast' in the router.
Reboted router within router gui.
Well, still have the steady send light. I'll unplug everything overnight see if that clears the steady send light. wierd that this just shows up like it did after all this time.

| This may not be related to your issue, but my traffic light is on almost constantly. Once I looked into it and determined the cause to be ARP traffic to and from all the modems connected to a given CMTS card. It is normal and safely be ignored.

The Recieve light would normally be related to ARP traffic noise. The Send light use to be normaly out for the most part. Now it is on constant, except for when I browse or whatever in interupts it.
Up until Tue morning that was how I could tell someone logged onto the cam, because the send light would be almost steady. Which is what I thought what was happening till I looked at the logged and disconnected everything else. |
