bluepoint posted : Most of the time, rebooting the modem will fix your no access problem. If not, connect your pc to the modem/router with an ethernet cable and access it from there.
Just a note, I can access the modem wirelessly with the new firmware.

Wow. I hope my new TM502G doesn't have any of these problems, but then it doesn't come with wireless. I will handle the internal networking stuff myself!

This made me laugh.

wdh280 posted : Yea my friend at TWC told me that they patch that part of the modem so you change the settings! He also told me another patch is in the works to fix security holes. He not sure the next patch will fix all the security holes or just some. As of this moment i'm keeping the modem no plans to switch it out yet want to see if they patch it. Also thinking of upgrading my speed to turbo plan 20/2.

Thanks for the replys guys i have a friend that works for Twc he's a network system adminstrator level II. He's checking into this for me. I'll keep you guys posted.

I just take a hold of a TG852G and found out that it is configurable by any owner, it's not true that the settings are not accessable. I was able to change the SSID/shared keys, turn the wireless off and set the modem in bridge mode all by myself. It looks like the author of the article you posted didn't even try or is just full of it. :uhh:

So just seen from another thread that this modem has alot of security holes. Should i call Twc ask for a new modem or are they going to fix the security holes or can they? Here the article on the security holes.

With TWC taking responsibility of managing these routers, they can be liable for lawsuit damages, I hope they realize that.

Actually, the ToS you agree to by using their service says they cannot. You also cannot sue them and must use their binding arbitration instead unless you opted out within 30 days of installing the service.

/M

It's subject to court interpretation. The TOS doesnot give them authority to not care and secure those routers when they assume responsibility of managing those defective routers, specially if the holes are known to the public.

I have always worry when my network is managed by someone else, these things will happen. With TWC taking responsibility of managing these routers, they can be liable for lawsuit damages, I hope they realize that. If you want to secure your own network while the issue has not been fixed or to have control of your own network, ask TWC to set your modem in bridge mode then put your own wireless router which effectively closes the vulnerabilities and have control of your own destiny.

Added: BTW, if you do the bridging the modem and turning off the wireless, make sure you ask TWC to remove the monthly wireless charges from your account if it applies.

CptGemini posted : Go to your local service center and see if they have any other brands. That is a digital phone modem isn't it (eMTA)? I have the ubee one the DVW3201B, I think they are trying to phase these out and go to the arris ones like the one you got but still it won't hurt to ask at your local service center if they got any other brands.
