susandennisI'm losing the internet about every 4 hours. A reboot of the modem fixes it instantly.
Nothing has changed on the network in months. Before this week I probably had not rebooted the router in three months. It's been working flawlessly for the past year. The website lists no firmware update since last July. Comcast says they can't see anything amiss on their end. This is crazy making.
This morning I went in and assigned reserved IP addresses to most everything on the network. I cannot believe that will make a difference but I also don't think it will hurt anything.
If recent history holds, it should go down again about noonish.

Not much on the agenda for today. Swimming, of course, and a little work, but not much else.
My flight for CES does not leave until Monday but my work vacation starts today so I'm mentally one foot out the door. But, I have the whole weekend to get ready which is lovely. And, honestly, there isn't that much to get ready. I travel light and this time I'll be traveling the lightest because I want to optimize my breathing. My plans are one rolling backpack. That's it. No purse, no nothing else. And not overstuffed either cause I need to leave room for swag.

So today will probably be a little work, a swim, some laundry and mostly waiting for the internet to go down again. sigh.

BTW, assigning IP addresses to MAC addresses in the router is a Very Good Idea. Make sure you set the lease time way up there, like > 7 days.

The modem software says that the reserved IP addresses I assigned (yes, by mac) never expire.
