Re: [DSL] Cellpipe random reboots / loss of sync (Check logs pleMy modem is a Speedtouch 516 and I get access to my modem with 192.168.1.254. I don't think risking to flash a firmware from my modem will fix anything unless the people form teksavvy recommend it.

You're not having the Cellpipe modem issue this thread is about... And your ST516 modem firmware is a tad old, there is newer firmware 7.4.x.x that helps with stability. |

Speedtouch 516 reboot at random times for 2 weeks. Lost sync with DSL/PPPoE then reconnects after 10 seconds, this is happening multiple times a day. Any suggestion? |

I updated my cellpipe to 1.0.4.4R8WH two days ago. But it appears to have done it again. I lost connection four hours ago while at work.
The tomato log shows the same error as it did when I had the problem on the previous firmware. |

You need to check the modem logs not the router to be sure. It could be (and likely was) something else. I lost connection for a few minutes today (first time in ages) and it was definitely not a modem issue. Could have been bell or TSI. |

Can we get a word from the official support team from Teksavvy??? |

Don't hijack the thread - you should start a new thread for your issue. This has nothing to do with the cellpipe issue - not the same product, not the same company, not the same DSL technology... You'll probably get better "eyes" on it too. |

I hate to bring this thread back to life, but my cellpipe modem (1.0.4.4R8-WH) just rebooted like it used to before the firmware upgrade.
Anyone also getting this? It happened once so far, 10 minutes ago. I'm a little worried. Maybe it was just a freak accident and completely unrelated. |

I've been getting disconnects too, also with the latest firmware. Mostly while playing a game called Dota 2, but I'm the only one to lose connection out of ten players, and the lights on my modem go out briefly. |

Mine still hasn't rebooted since the firmware was upgraded... I have lost pppoe session numerous times (without sync loss), but i still havent bothered to switch back to the backup sagemcom i have to see if its something with the new firmware thats causing the disconnections. |

I don't know if there is a need for my Cellpipe's firmware to be upgraded. I currently have firmware 1.0.4.3EF-ISAM. Released: 2010/12/27. I never had an issue with the random reboots BUT, HiVolt and I both had/have an issue with speeds fluctuating in the evening. Last night I saw my speed going down after 10 - 10:30 p.m. After a reboot my speeds were back to 24-25 mbps on a 25/7 tier. The one thing I don't understand is why my firmware hasn't upgraded on its own. Any thoughts? |

The congestion here is on the remote level, it doesnt matter what firmware i use or modem...
I should re-run some tests and make another complaint to TSI, since this has been this way since I got the service, but I've been primarily using my 28/1 since the POI's were upgraded the service has been flawless... |
|
|
Well, I want to rule the firmware out before proceeding with TSI because I did various tests and and a tracert which were ok. I just find it strange that after a reboot the speeds were back to normal. I will have to observe it this evening and see if the speeds go down again or stays up. This is the first time I had noticed this since I came back from Europe. I was away for the month of August, so I don't know how things were last month. |

If anyone is getting reboots I would suggest two things. First confirm the version of the firmware that you are running. Second clear the log and then post log snips for when the reboot happens. From the log it should be obvious if it is in fact a reboot or something else. If ALL of the lights go out and you have the latest firmware then that sure sounds like a problem. Since other people don't seem to be having issues I suppose it would also be worth checking the power (plugged into a ups?) and perhaps even getting TSI to swap the modem in case it is just a bad unit. |
|

i specifically notice when mine reboots because i have to run netflix on my pc to make my consoles Work properly with my us Proxy, and i still have to do this quite often Almost every other day, but in my super long gaming sessions, not finding myself disconnected. |
|
|
You still need to check logs to verify that this is really a reboot and not something else. |

My modem just reset again (I think). Here is a screenshot of my log (everything for the day it happened) along with the firm ware. » img.photobucket.com/albu ··· pe01.jpgWhen I notice I lose internet, I look at my modem and all the lights are off except the power light. I checked my power plug and it is firmly plugged into the modem and socket I don't know what I'm looking at for the log, is that evidence of a modem reset? |

Your log doesn't show evidence of a modem reboot... When it resets, there are entries like "Wireless disabled (or enabled)", firmware version is stated, etc... And it takes 3-5 minutes to get back on the internet while the modem reboots, resyncs, then the connection is re-established. |
|
|
Thanks for the quick reply.
Hm, so from that log, is it possible to tell what's causing my internet to go out briefly? |
|
|
Is there more above that in the log (from roughly the same time)? |
|
|
Unfortunately no. The ones before that are logs for September 3rd |

Unfortunately nothing. Only thing before it on the 12th would be just Disable Port Mapping / Enable Port Mapping.
Anything else of note is on the 3rd (Which is the only date other than the 12th in my system log) and this is what it says;
2012-09-03M13:08:04 WLAN info Wireless is enabled 2012-09-03M13:08:20 GUI info this firmware is version 1.0.4.4R8-wh 2012-09-03M13:08:21 UPnP info UPnP IGD started 2012-09-03M13:08:21 UPnP info Known Connection Type(PPP type)!

But I don't recall doing anything on the 3rd or anything happening to me. Might had not been on the computer at the time.
I do recall losing internet like today on the 8th, but I the log doesn't show anything (I have it set to 500 lines). |

Are you using the cellpipe as a router or are you using something else? Looks like it is not a reboot (or for that mater something on the cellpipe. Next time it happens see if you can ping the modem (192.168.2.1 normally). How long does the outage last. The reboot would last at least a minute or two (while the modem powers up and gets sync again). Also if you have the modem in front of you a reboot should be pretty obvious based on what the lights are doing. It could just be that Bell/TSI are having some issues but from the sounds of things you are having this issue fairly often right? Best thing to do is gather data. Record when it happens. Do a couple of traceroutes to big sites (same ones each time) and record those as well. Save the log snips from the cellpipe as well. If it is not a reboot (which it really doesn't look like) you may be able to get enough information to figure out what it is. Have you tried talking to TSI support about it? They could check your line to make sure it looks okay and should also be able to check how frequently you are reconnecting / reauthenticating. This may also shed some light on what is happening. I would suggest starting a new thread with this information and see what if some people can help you out. This thread is so big and old that most people have written it off at this point I think unless they are waiting for financial resolution from TSI like I am. |

How common are the Cellpipe problems? Anyone without any problems? I'm thinking about going 25/8.
My current 6 M service is pretty stable, loses connection about once a week for a couple of minutes at most. |
|

The reboot problem is resolved. Those who had it (for months) are waiting for TSI to provide some sort of financial compensation (as they have stated they would). |

Yea I've given up asking about that... Its now been close to 2 months after the official fix, and over 3 months after the initial fix was rolled out to a few testers... I just don't get it... how hard is it to negotiate a credit from Bell? i guess pulling teeth is easier... |

For answers to this, you can take a look at Bell/Astral vs (almost) everyone else hearings for inspiration. In those hearings, everyone else says it is already nearly impossible to negotiate anything with Bell and it would only get worse if Bell bought Astral. In past CRTC hearings about UBB/AVP/CBB, some companies have complained about how negotiating arrangements with Bell and Telus is much more difficult than negotiating similar arrangements with anybody else. So yeah, my guess is that your guess is right. |

Hi Martin,
So... It has been another month... Where are we at? We were promised some sort of compensation once the issue was resolved. It has been resolved for a while now. |
