Title: Re: [internetworkers] Cable Modem Blues

Initially I had many occasions of loss of signal with RR.  Often reinitializing my Ashanti Router did the trick---masking the real problem.  Had visits from 3 or 4 T-W service techs, and little improvement in service.  Finally a young tech simply changed the cable from my house to the local area cable box.  All problems resolved.  Leakage in cable gave me a marginal signal.  Moral---check the cable runs first.
