Problem for Arris Touchstone 450a (CM450) Modem

Switched to cable(arris modem) can't set up network




By ctwill on Dec 29, 2008

" "
Since I switched to a bundled cable pkg. I've been unable to set up my network. My netgear router can't seem to work with the arris modem, and my belkin adapter can't pick up the signal. It's driving me nuts as I've tried everything. Cable says it's the router, they say it's the modem, they say it's the adapter etc. Cable said their system is too fast for my router. Help me!

- I have one pc hard wired to the arris modem. I am trying to set-up network with a router and wireless adapter (netgear router, belkin adapter) everthing was working until I switched to cable from dsl. Now I'm unable to setup the network.

- Thanks, I tried that but it still does not work. The new modem is a telephony one one with a battery back-up so I believe that this may be the problem. Since, I unplug, (to power down) but it may still not fully be down to reconize the netgear router since it has a battery back-up (2 hrs).

I need a clear picture of what you are trying to do. cable modem to pc. Are you wireless or no. how many pc's. That sort of thing.

cable dsl same thing. Did you switch providers and get new modem from them? If so. Just delete previous netowrk and install new one let pc discover new one. Also, with your router you got a disc. It should install correctly. Perhaps it is previous network that is hindering you.

This will work i suppose.it did for my aris cable modem.

Remove the Backup battery
Unplug power from the modem
Plug the new router into cable modem (while the modem is still off)
Wait for the router to have its lights runnning.
power the cable modem.
put battery back in

this worked me when i switched from my buffalo router to dlink and tried also with directly to my computer and it let it work.

i guess the cable modem remembers mac addressses or something and if it doesn't match then it won't go through (but that's a guess)
