Where we were and where we are going

Hello Everyone.  This is episode 54 of Get Your Tech On, our show on All Things DOCSIS.  I’m Brady Volpe, Founder of The Volpe Firm and Nimble This. John Downey is with me and also CMTS Technical Leader at Cisco Systems, welcome John.  
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.
