I also confirmed that a second wired device couldn't access the router - I'm normally on wireless. The strange thing is that my STB never stops working. Replicate the error, and call tech support. When you finally get a person on the line, have them verify your connection from outside. If they can see you, but you can't see them, it's the router. Because you're on a TV package, they'll replace it.
Your STB may have stopped working and you don't know it. You can test by trying to view guide data past 1 week schedule, or start a VOD program. If you get VOD, your STB is connected. Or view widgets. |

Thanks for all the help so far, I'll see if I can get Verizon to send a replacement. |

I can't connect to my router when the problem arises, and the log appears to flush itself on reboots. Here's the log immediately after a reboot though:

said by e718eternal : Anybody got some suggestions on what I can do? Look at the router's system log. Log in, click on System Monitoring icon, choose Advanced Status menu item, answer Yes to nag, click on System Logging.
Look for problems indicating connection failure. If your router is squeaky clean, you should only see the DHCP messages for WAN and LAN, maybe also CWMP messages. |

| [northeast] MI424-WR crashes when sending or receiving lots of d
Hi, all. I've got the Actiontec MI-424WR with the latest firmware, and I really don't like it. :-( Every time I try and either download or upload using an HTTP connection at a sustained high rate, the router just crashes and all DNS stops working - I'll keep existing connections to whatever I've got open, I can make connections to IP addresses, but can't connect to any other site. This usually happens when I download/upload at more than 1.5MB/s for more than five seconds. The strange thing is that I don't get this problem when downloading from Usenet with eight connections - I can rumble on at 2.5MB/s for hours without a hiccup. But as soon as I try to do something on the web, the router goes and the only way to fix it is a warm reboot. And yeah, this applies for every single device in my house, just not one computer. :'( Anybody got some suggestions on what I can do? |
