Today we are going to discuss DOCSIS Evolution
But first from watchers:
This is in reference to another episode (52) where we were discussing another viewer’s (Jessie) issues with Hitron modems:

Hey there! I watch the videos when I get a chance but never live because I’m always working.
I was watching some on my xbox today with my 2 and 1 year old daughters. I should of taken a pic.
I forget which week it was but a viewer had a question about how he wasn’t getting speeds. A tech came out and swapped his 3.1 modem for a company 3.1 modem. He then couldn’t access his levels.
I work for spectrum so naturally i have their equipment. I specifically have aTC4400 which is a docsis 3.1 modem. I noticed the other week i could no longer access 192.168.100.1 For whatever reason tonight, I decided to do a 30-30-30 hard reset on my modem. I once again have access. Not that i needed this feature since i have tools available to me that a normal customer wouldn’t. Oddly enough though while i couldnt access this at the time, I could still get to the internal spectrum analyzer at http://192.168.100.1:8080/
I wonder if that person did a hard reset on their Hitron modem, they could gain access again?
On anther topic, is the broadband library magazine available in a hard copy? I’m guessing no since i scoured that site and found nothing. I just cant read a magazine format on a computer or any hand held device and I’m only 39.
Thanks.
