I have a motorola SB6120 and when I go into 192.168.100.1 I get these numbers. Was wondering if anything looks off, I do lose connection once every couple days.

...It's more likely an ISP issue.


as above. the snapshot numbers look fine, good signal and what not, but in my experience the SB won't disconnect, the ISP switch will drop the connection to the modem, and then you get to wait through the entire handshake and authentication script again. fun. make sure the modem isn't in a small or enclosed space as they get hot, dust/blow it off, and other than that, they usually work fine or die all the way never to return.

i had the same thing for about 5-6 weeks when they were upgrading some local switching hardware, after they finished, it's all better. if you continue to get dropped, you might call the ISP and ask for help. the phone rep won't know anything, but the tech who comes out should know whats going on.

other than that, if it happens when it rains (or on sprinkler/watering days) and not on dry days, you might have a cable issue. just a thought. best of luck.
