    Any one what these log messages mean and what I can do st stop them? I keep losing my internet connection and the cable company and Motorola have been of no assistance. First screen is the log the second is the power levels which are about in this range every time I check them. any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Seems to me to be an issue with the cable modems ability to sync. It is not getting a response to it's dhcp request. This is a cable company issue. They need to test the signal. This could be a loose connection or a bad cable end somewhere in between your cable modem, and the cable companies equipment.

    Good Luck.

    DHCP is your modem trying to establish an IP address from your ISP and is failing,

    Is the modem registered with your ISP? You will need the Mac address.

    Thanks guys. I will have to get after Charter some more, they are giving me a hard time because I own the modem and do not rent it from them for $5.00 a month

    If you didn't provide the Mac address to them when you signed up...then its likely your issue

    Charter should be able to do a diagnostic from their end.
    If they ask just tell them that the modem is from them,,,,you bought it from them, right ? (then they should support it)
    If you have some aftermarket modem not from Charter, then you are tech support ;) (The tech's cheat sheet will be for a specific make/model of modem.)

    Don't get into modem ownership with the tech if you don't have to.

    One of the first things that the tech may have yo do is a "power cycle".
    That's is simply pulling the power off the modem for a minute or two and then re-plugging it in. This forces a reset and is often the fix.


    If you haven't tried a power cycle, do it now.

    If that doesn't work, grab your set up guide that came with the modem and go through the set up again.
