4200 gone down

[Coljjw]

It's been fine the last few months but now...

 
Receive light syncs
Send light syncs
Online attempts and fails immediately
Send light then desyncs
Online continues to blink
Send light there is nothing
Receive light stays synced until modem reboots

I've tried changing macs but still get the same result.

Typing this from library but will be back in a little while (net cafe) cause I've got to bid for a SF4 Fightpad.

id replace the modem to be honest, 4200 is very dated now and firmware is lacking.

[Coljjw]

Do you think the 4200 is dead and what modem would suggest as the best replacement?

The 4200 right I can't force config although I understand that is dependant on what area you are in. I'm in Stretford here.

[Bad_Ad84]

something bcm3349 based that can run haxorware.

ambit 250/255/webstar epc2100r2/motorola 5101e

[Coljjw]

Which of those is cheapest and which is the most futureproof (ie can do 50mb)

Thanks

Does the 4200 not support hackware, fibreware and various flavours of sigma firmware?

[Bad_Ad84]

all of which are horribly out of date and dont support alot of new features? yes it does.

and coljjw, probably the ambits, but none of them will do 50mb

Of course all of these out of date firmwares provide the most important feature. i.e. internet access.

[Bad_Ad84]

apparently not according to the original post, and theres changes being done which stops them coming online, hence my suggestion.

but sure, you all know best, im really not in the mood to argue today, i mean what do i know anyway, right?
