Anyone know if firmware version

I'm on my second Motorola SB5101 modem (Comcast rental) in two days.
Both keep dropping signal every 30 - 60 minutes.

Here's the firmware from the modem's status page:


Software Version: SB5101-2.4.1.1-SCM14-NOSH
Hardware Version: 1
MIB Version: II
GUI Version: 1.0

I posted this on dslreports, and one reply said this version is known for
locking up. I'm beginning to believe it.

Anyone else heard this?

Thanks.

the number below will give you a read out of the modems
connection status. Get back with the numbers.

As I suggested in a previous post, ask if they have the Ambit modem
available (we have our choice in WA.), I am quite pleased with mine...

most of the time when a cable modem locks up it is on the ISP end. It could be an overloaded node comcast is good for that. They could be doing some serious work on the server and they don't tell you, they are great for that. If you are running a splitter that could be causing problems. Some TV's cause interference with a cable modem on a splitter, mostly older ones. Yea and last but not least it could be the modem but I doubt it. I have help setup many cable modems and I have only seen one bad modem and it would not even turn on.
