AT&T U-verse → Re: 3 months of frustration and 4 new modems now what??????????

Is your specific problem related to your not being able to connect w/ the Belkin when this happens ? You didn't answer reg your other LAN devices not working when lockup occurs. Possible something on your LAN communication, maybe one of those apps causing this ? I had a similar problem a while back running something (don't quite remember) from an app that actually locked up my cable modem, which just doesn't happen, stopped using it problem went away.

I know you are trying to access apps for your equipment, but what happens when you take the Belkin out of the equation completely for a while ? Im on VDSL here so I can't really speak for the NVG usage, IPco just isn't the beez kneez IMO.

Probably not a port issue, as ports don't cause equipment "freeze" ups, at least none that I've ever seen, a bad port will usually not swing w/ a problem, it's either defective or it's not. Not sure about the Houston office thing, but most likely your CO location is not quite that far, 90 miles a little bit out of the way for IPco, which is what you have.

Now for saving grace of the question, maybe there might be a network side problem, specifically on the field side, so unless someone has actually tested and verfied that plant conditions are kosher for your connection and discussed this w/ you, there is no way to know. Maybe posting some stats would help to see exactly what the modem is getting.

BTW, I'm w/ you on the BS thing, clearing cookies does nothing for the NVG operation, not the tech's fault, they just don't know.

Just my 2c.

OK well I use the Belkin Extender for access to garage and wife using laptop in the kitchen ......She's not a techie so she does not access you tube via TV , DVD so usually the failures are random and in the evenings is when I'm home trying to watch vids and it acts up on me as well....meaning throughout the day as she's using her laptop she uses the little ladder to reach the modem and do the power cord thingy he...he...he yeah she no happy camper....he...he..he....

However, I will remove the two CAT-5 cables on the range extender just to remove reduce any possibilities. Normally the DVD player is never on unless I'm trying to watch videos which BTW is a new deal for me cause I just found this option a few days ago.......

So, yes it locks up with no request from a WiFi device...but my Atrix-2 phone does transfer from the local modem to the extender, which I use the email clients and browser while piddlin' 'round (is that a word?) in the garage......

Your correct the CO is about 2 miles from the house but the ATT spt. told me they were doing magic stuff in Houston so my comments are just a SWAG....!..

Thanks....
