Re: [Connectivity] Modem Issue: Surboard Software Not Updating

Thanks Johkal,

I suppose i could have been patient about achieving a resolution but instead I marched into the local Comcast office and traded out the SB5101 modem for an RCA 425. Hopefully that modem species is not inherently problematic! (please tell me they're not lol!)

The 425 should work as expected.

I have the RCA DCM425 and have no issues with it at all.The RCA DCM425 has no issues getting the right config file.My modem has had the firmware updated many times since I owned it.My last firmware update was a few weeks ago.Config file name shown above.

Ripper, could you let me know the fw version on your modem. A few weeks ago, my DCM425 failed to update
SW Upgrade Failed Before Download - Server not Present

TIA,

It looks like I have the same as you.It looks like there was a problem with there server not your modem.Are you having any problems?

AFAIK, I do not have any problems
I'm just wondering if the new fw offers/fixes something that I should know about
Cheers,
