Cable modem only works in one room.

Notenboom if there is a conflict with your ip address it could result in only one of the machines on your network working at a time. And no it is the only router in the building on that frequency. If i disconnect one computer at the hub the other one works. Called the cable company and they told me the cable modem will only work when connected to the coax cable it was originally connected to.

Just tried to move my cisco cable modem dpc3010 docsis 3 0 from one room to another. Why does a router work in one room and not another room. A cable modem that is specified as end of life was once a recommended sparklight cable modem. Ok so upstairs in the attic we have a modem and a router the modem works fine up there and so does the router.

But when i try to move my modem downstairs to my room and hook it into my cable line to play halo or host on warcraft it won t connect to the internet. The network consists of a cable modem a hub router cat5 cable in the walls and two computers. Due to the discontinued production manufacturer support changes or other technical issues these cable modems are no longer recommended. Conversely a second router also helps when most clients in the home are wireless but a few ethernet devices in one room like game consoles and file sharing servers could benefit from a wired setup.

My laptop is not renewing its ip address. Long story short we moved the modem to another room and it no longer works. That is disconnected from one room s coax cable and connected to another room s coax cable. In my experience this is usually caused by defective fittings on the cable ends and i mean all the cable fittings in the house a problem on the line or the sequence of splitters.
