Change the modem? You appear to have found what part needs rebooting and if that is unacceptable why haven't you changed that part?
Over the last 4 months my 7 megabit cable service drops to about 3 megabits at least once a week. I am able to resolve this by re-booting (unplugging the Webstar cable modem.) I have had numerous technicians visit and have had 3 new cable modems. Brighthouse claims they have checked their lines and find no problems. I have escalated my request to the supervisory level to no avail. At one time they thought an amp was running "hot", causing my modem to drop out. Now they claim all is fine with their system. Is there a solution to this besides periodic rebooting the modem? Thank gosh I don't subscribe to their VOIP.
