Hi all,
Does anyone else have the problem where your TelstraClear supplied cable modem crashes under load?
If I start downloading a couple of games through Steam, or big Humble Bundles through bittorrent, my cable mode (Motorola Surfboard 15mumble) will crash after an indeterminate period of time. All the lights are on, but on unicast traffic comes through the modem. I still get broadcast traffic. Doing things to my router or ethernet cable doesn't fix the problem, but power cycling the modem fixes it every time. Leaving the modem and waiting for eight hours also doesn't work.
The only thing I can think of is to tell TelstraClear to replace the modem, but I'm hoping someone here might have a simpler solution.
Cheers,
Lloyd
