| [AB] Why does my Shaw router have to be recycled everyday? I have purchased a shaw router 6 mths ago and noticed in the last 2 months everyday sometimes twice a day I have no access to the internet unless I recycle the modem why is this happening?
I also noticed that the slowness with shaw started when the CRTC put in the rules about paying extra for bandwidth is shaw slowing the connection on purpose not that you would tell me the truth just thought I would try? |
|
| Those rules were allowed a year or two ago, but it wasn't a CRTC ruling, they were allways there.
When your internet stops, do the lights on your modem changed? Still 4 solid green lights? Or when the internet stops, have they changed at all?
Which modem do you have? Cisco? SMC? Or Motorola?

I assure you that Shaw has no conspiracy running where they slow your connection down |

Might be just the router part of your modem being crappy. |

It's better to recycle your modem, than to throw it in the trash :-P |

Heck, I've got a years old Motorola Surfboard which has been running, without a single problem, Hi Speed 25 (?). That's why I'm afraid to upgrade to Broadband 50. Why not purchase your own router? Save you a lot of trouble. |

I've had my modem go offline about once a week for the last 3 weeks. Typically around midnight. Other lights still on, 'Online' light flashes orange though.
I have to unplug it, then plug it back in to get it to reconnect. Still on Extreme-I 25 so still running the old 5120, »www.amazon.com/Motorola-SB5120-S···009K9FZW |

Any 5102 won't work, it needs to have the Shaw firmware on it to work. |

| reply to Kasey
The SB5120 is about 7 years old. My guess the modem is failing and needs to be replaced. |

A DOCSIS modem will download the firmware when it tries to connect, it is as simple as Shaw won't activate hardware not bought from them.
