Hello all! This is my first post on your forum. Seems like a good place to find information. I have a question, so here go's; I have been having issues with my internet at home. I am currently using a Motorola sb5101N modem. The past month or so I have been having issues where my connection just drops. It has happened while downloading mmo's and sometimes just regular surfing with my smartphone. It happened again today. What happens is my connection drops. There will only be one light on the modem lit up. But slowly all areas will come to life ( receive, send, online, pc activity) without the need to reboot the modem directly. Ive called my isp (cox communications) and they told me my modem was basically on its death bed. They said since I have had the modem for nearly 5 years that its time to invest in something more up-to date. Im not sure if they are just trying to get me to purchase one of theirs (they tried) or if the modem issues was caused by me downloading something like 4 or 5 mmo's that ranged anywhere between 3 gb to 15gb ( mmo; Rift) in the past 30- 45 days? My modem has always been very reliable up until recently. So, can someone help? Apparently cox uses docsis 3.0 and I believe my modem is 2.0 (I think).
