Interesting. Every once in a while I have issues on my cable provider (UPC in Austria) with S3 and S3 only. Next time that happens I gotta have a closer look at it.

We take network transmissions for granted sometimes, TCP/IP has been around so long we assume nothing strange can still happen. But implementations still matter, it only take one strange piece of software or hardware and you wind up with craziness like this.

I'm also on UPC in Austria, and yes, I'm suspecting the same issue now. I will switch to Bridge mode now because of this.

Maybe it's an issue with the cablemodem? There aren't many different manufacturers of cablemodems. What's yours?

Actually I received a new one yesterday. I have to check again whether the issue persists. The new one is called "Connect Box" and is jointly manufactured by Compal und Arris.

Yet another problem caused by shitty consumer-grade network equipment.

I think you've maybe been unfairly downvoted there!

Almost all of the issues I experience with Internet connectivity day-to-day are down to bad consumer networking equipment. APs start failing, or routers stop routing, seemingly at random.
