Ubuntu Network Restart Required with Rogers (?) and Setting Modem Password

[Maxcess]

Hello Stephen

Wow, you got a lot of good replies on this.
I to had many of the similar issues. To me, why have an extra router when I am renting one. But their control is the issue for me.
I fought to much with Rogers and Teksavvy over the control issues of the combined modem & router issues.
I gave in and bridged the units to my own router. Also, staying with Teksavvy for the better customer service.
Problem solved!


Kind Regards

Subject: [TLUG]: Ubuntu Network Restart Required with Rogers (?) and Setting Modem Password

I have the Cisco DPC3825 modem/router. Three times in the last week, "something" happened, and networking hung on my Ubuntu system. The modem lights went a bit crazy and seemed to recycle. I did not have to reset networking on my Laptop that runs Windows 7, but while the modem was funky I could not access email. Any thoughts on this? A bit of a worry is that I tried to access the modem control panel using my browser. I could not log in, despite my browser populating the credentials automatically. The account id was "admin". I called Rogers tech support and they advised that the admin id was "cusadmin". And they told me the default password, which worked. WTF? I can't say for certain that I failed to change the default password, but I am pretty good at doing so. I tried to change the default password for "cusadmin" but when I saved I was prompted asking if I wanted to change the password for "admin" or for "<>". WTF? I Googled a bit and found reference to a super admin credential that Rogers keep to itself. But nothing all that clear. I am guessing that Rogers "upgraded" the firmware to my modem without my knowledge. Can anyone shed some light on this? Especially changing the password.
