| Re: [General] BEFSX41 / Siemens 4100 DSL Modem problem and solut
Have encountered the same problem here, too.
Speedstream 4100 just decides to no longer communicate with the router. Have tried other routers, both Linksys and non-Linksys, so this is not a BEFSX41 issue.
As reported by previous posters, this is an intermittent problem to the extent that we can occasionally get it all up and running for a few minutes, but once the LAN side of the 4100 locks up we are back to trying to find some mystical combo of device startup order and dumb luck.
Have flashed the firmware on the 4100 from .48 to .53, have tried all iterations of PPPoE location on modem/router, public vs private IP, etc................
Have even added static route in the router, to modem, and the problem still recurs.
The 4100's WAN side certainly appears to hold the connection to SBC/ATT, but the LAN interface just dies. Can't even ping the 192.168.0.1.
SBC/ATT tech supp has not been helpful at all. They have refused requests to swap for another modem.
Have run out of ideas and patience for SBC/ATT, and am about to suggest switching to cable.
Any ideas? This whole thread probably belongs in an SBC forum, according to our experience.
Thanks. |
