Rogers SMCD3GN Cable Modem - Flickering Link Light?

[Keebler Elf]

Does anyone else have the Rogers SMCD3GN cable modem? On mine all the lights are solid blue or green except for the Link and LAN1 lights, both of which are constantly flashing green. Is this correct? Or should they be solid green? (especially the Link light)

It seems to be functioning properly but maybe it's not working optimally?

That's working correctly. The flashing indicates that there is network activity. Use "speedtest.net" and similar to see what sort of bandwidth you are getting and if it's good, you're good. If it's bad there is some sort of diagnostic webpage on the modem you can get to if you know the magic address, and see there a bunch of arcane network statistics that I couldn't possibly interpret for you. But a rogers tech could. That would indicate how good of a connection the modem has, etc.

Anybody know where you can get a rogers modem without having to rent the damn thing?

how the hell does rogers hold a lock on these modems do they code everyone?

If I bought a Rogers Gateway modem like the one in the link on craigslist would it work with my Rogers internet service? Thus I wouldn't have to rent one anymore.

Buy it from Rogers. The latest model costs $249.99. What is it worth to you? If you switch to Acanac or TekSavvy, you might be able to use the same modem.
