Woodstock DGM [HGM] 152 Report post Posted February 21 Well it I've been off line since early Friday morning as my seven year old modem/router finally gave up and quit. I'm am going to off line until at least Sunday afternoon currently no internet, no wifi, no cable. And not land line. They all go through the modem/router. I have a tenna TV but not much on.

YetiGBR1 15 Report post Posted February 21 Dang, sorry to hear of your router/modems' demise. Hope your back online sooner rather than later Woody, just hope the EnB DT's are not too strong 🤪 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodstock DGM [HGM] 152 Report post Posted February 21 Strange thing happened i looked up and all the lights are now blinking and all of my computers are now connected and up running, Strange, maybe the modem is doing a last gasp before quitting permanently who know, as you use to say in the navy its FM (f'n Magic) looks like ill be on later, but ill have to post a new system picture/movie, 8 comps online, one for gm 6 to play and one YouTube/entertainment 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TempestNWK 5 Report post Posted February 25 (edited) i've been doing some cleanup at the shoppe while it's a bit quiet, dismantling old DSL modems (basicly separating em into hard plastic shells and PCB's, so they can be brought to the recycling area. worth a little $ even) the sheer number of issues these things are showing is amazing (while the exterior looks perfectly fine) - bursted capacitors - overheated chips - cracked silicon - molten cabling (exposed copper) good mix of brands aswell, Siemens / Alcatel / ZTE etc. Edited February 25 by TempestNWK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodstock DGM [HGM] 152 Report post Posted February 25 AT&T came out and replaced the home gateway and all is well in the world, (My TV, Cable, Home Phone, and Internet all run through the same gateway) the old one was installed 7 years ago,. it was failing and popping multiple items plugged into the same IP even though it showed on the list as good. Since the replacement, all is really good, speed is up and connections are more stable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
