Re: [TWC] Time warner cable and Motorola Surfboard 6141 Thanks guys.
Tried 4 different routers, different cables, direct wire to the router, new SSID, password, and even a surfboard 6121. Same every time. Internal LAN works perfectly. Never seen any T3 or T4 timeouts.
gkloepfer - what firmware is on your 6141?
Only thing I haven't done yet is plugged straight into the modem - it's in the basement and a bit awkward... Might just have to go back to my Scientific Atlanta webstar and 20Mbps. That worked perfectly.
Beats me. |

| OK so I have made some progress. I have spent the day with my laptop plugged straight into the Surfboard 6141. What seems to happen is that periodically there is some kind slowdown in the connection, and then it slowly recovers. I ran a ping test continuously for a few hours, and see patterns like this every so often:

Somebody from TWC coming out next Friday to have a look. I hope they can shed light on my problem. |

kudos:7 | Ping your gateway, not something way out on the internet. If it's a problem with the modem or line, that's where you need to be looking. Traffic outside TWC's network isn't going to be fixable by them. (inside their network... well, you have to get them to agree it's broken first.) |
