Swapped Modems, same model, static WAN IP, Router couldn't reconnect

I have to agree that some modem indicator lights are more farce than fact. :)

Interesting on the other issues as well, which both issues sound related due to bandwidth and latency issues which could greatly affect VoIP and streaming. I'd definitely suspect your ISP's infrastructure and abilities here.

Also, please don't double post like you just have. It will be edited soon (I don't have edit permissions in this part of the forum). Double posting is against our forum guidelines and can end up resulting in infractions. Please see guidelines in my sig for more info. :toast:
 
Done ....... again.

It was edited by @Tatty_One , there were two posts within a couple of minutes prior. When you quote a user and reply, then do so again for someone else, that creates two separate posts and is a common example of double posting. That is against forum guidelines which can be reviewed from the link in my signature if you'd like to take a look.

One solution is to use the Multi-Quote feature which stores quotes in a cache you can then paste into a post, or you could even keep using the reply button before posting your reply to post multiple quotes in the same post. That keeps things simple, and is what is desired here for posting. If someone posts after you do, and you post again, then that isn't an issue. But posting repeatedly in a row is against the rules here.

You have done that twice today alone and I believe Tatty edited both. We do so kindly so many times before we request you review our guidelines and ask that you learn to use features to keep post clutter down.

Let me know if that clears up any confusion! :toast:
 
Sorry, your quote function is very different then most forums and I wasn't sure how it was suppose to work. My apologies. :oops:
There were so many replies and so many specifics in each I wanted to respond to as many as I could. without quoting the entire post and trying to break it down into sections afterwards.

No worries, we understand that the feature here is different from other sites, and other sites might not be as concerned with double posting as we are so there's some adjustment phases. It takes practice. I usually have a running post then click reply to quote someone else, see below.

As you can see it quoted my previous post in the same post I'm replying to you on by just clicking reply. I prefer this method for how I work my quotes. Most times I'll edit/break down the quotes into chunks using the quote and /quote in brackets using the HTML tags once I have the content I want quoted into my post. Now I'll click reply again.

And there it adds it below what I just typed.

As I said before some folks use the Multi-quote feature, which acts as a "quote cache". That might work for you as well. You will see an "Insert Quotes..." button at the bottom left, you open that and click Quote these messages, it'll insert them into your post. I'd suggest you mess around with both methods, see what works best for you.

Sorry that your thread went off topic for this, and back on-topic have you reached out to your ISP again? I am curious if they'll play nice with your escalation request.
 
Make sure nothing was plugged into a fiber port.
