I just tried again. There was no "reply" button, so I could not add text (like this one)
The tests I did on the Modem took several days/weeks to complete . The next stage was to replace a lot of hardware an reconfigure quite a lot of stuff. Being out of the country for extended periods made this difficult .
I've now installed the kit as suggested and the problem appears to continue.
ABTW. I find that most of the really useful threads I find on the web are about 5+ years old. I can see that having them fill with junk/spam would make them less useful, but the ability to have the whole solution in one place not just the 1sy 6 months of effort would be/is really useful.
The great examples I've seen (on other forums) are when a discussion takes place between several people with a problem, then goes quiet . The a couple of years later , the author of the e.g. the software stumbles upon it, explain how it's supposed to be used and sometimes makes a fix to address the issue.
(One solution might be, after 6 months, require all updates to now go via moderator first, the goal being "does this make a substantive improvement to the content")
There's one forum I visit maybe one a year, it backs up a firmware which is released on an irregular cycle. Each time I find "Thread#1" , which ends this now closed ...seek out thread#2 , ditto ...end up on Thread#9 which starts "This is the latest version.." which might help except threads 2-8 all start this way.
