He replaced it with another dpc2100 with firmware version that lower. It works now.

But I am not happy with WOW. While I dont disagree that electronic items can go bad, I dont think thats what happened here. I think this is a case of bad firmware causing the issue.

Still seeing this in the log though:

Seeing the same.

Always got the DCC-ACK not received.

DCC-ACK rejected unknown transaction ID is new since yesterday for me.

Dan brought this to my attention. The timer has been removed from the configuration, in the event your modem should reset again, it should no longer have this option set.

No watchdog timers that I can tell since the first one. So not sure how the timer would have been removed but I'm at 2.5 days with no resets.

Thanks to you (oh unnamed WOW employee) and Dan ;-).

It means your modem is disconnecting and rebooting. The new firmware is causing it.

I wonder what benefits, if any, this new firmware has that made WOW want to roll it out when they knew their customers would have the rebooting problem?

baess posted : Well I've already had one reboot and the log says Watchdog Timer.

With the previous firmware my modem would go months with no reboots, no issues whatsoever.

WOW knew the watchdog timer was too sensitive and I thought they were going to fix it before releasing this firmware. To quote WOW_Dan from August:

We are investigating what to do with the watchdog timer. It gets triggered by your modem losing connectivity briefly, the modem will reboot to resolve the issue. This was a new feature of the DPC2100 firmware, and it doesn't seem to be working exactly as it should. I see yours rebooted once on 8/27 and once on 8/29, so it's not happening too often, but it is something we're already looking into.

Hoping Dan will comment.

I'm aware. I had this firmware in August and alerted Dan to the fact that the watchdog timer was rebooting too often. He acknowledged a problem and moved me and a few others back to the -060303 and no more problems.

So in August WOW knew this firmware and it's watchdog timer was too sensitive.

It is now dpc2100rx-v202r1256-120710Uas. Anyone else?

I hope this doesn't have the Watchdog Timer.

Set up page is now different too. Maybe Dan can comment, please.
