Just looking to get a cheap working HG659B(or even the new Spark Smart Modem though I doubt people will be selling it but would be willing to pay a bit more for it then the HG659B from Spark ) if someone has a working one that they do not need.

 

Needing it for a friend whos Spark modem(HG659) plays up a lot. They have already done all troubleshooting steps with CSA's multiple times and invested in a mesh system as well, just want to see if a Spark replacement modem I get them fixes the issues.

 

They tried going on to a new contract and getting the new Spark Smart Modem but Spark representative said they cannot do that :(

What is the issue?

A new router for example won't fix the issue if your problem is something common like exceeding the max DHCP client table. Even adding a mesh solution won't fix that.

You can usually find them at your local CashConverters for less than $10.

Devices will just disconnect all the time, a reset of the modem usually helps but will recur again. They do not have a lot of devices in the house. Would exceeding the max DHCP client table be if there is a lot of devices in the house?
