About once a year I need to unplug it but otherwise it just sits their with some blinking lights.
<br><br>In my case I connect the ethernet connection from the modem into a PC that runs Linux. The only problem challenge I encountered is that rogers assigns you a hostname to be used for DHCP requests. Once I figured out how to configure the DHCP-client to send the Rogers host name it wasn't a problem. Apparently Rogers uses the hostname to as part of the authentication/registration to the modem...
