Wow, sorry to hear that bud.
One thing you might try is factory reset everything.
Check the WAN port speed on the 857, you can set it for 1000Mb.
What are the indicated status lights on the modem after everything is running? List them out for us.
You might check the power supplies on the 6141 and the other devices, could have blown out the power supply. I think you can use the same PS from the 6120.
What power strip do you have?
Harry recommended a TRIPPLITE Brand, I'll have to find out which one he mentioned.
Swap cables between the 857 and Modem and see and try that WAN port Speed setting.
If you connect a wired PC that has Gb Network card directly to the 6120, what light do you get there? Should be blue however if not, could be 6120. Might need help there as well.
I would also call Motorola and see if they can help as well. I called them last year to get a new power supply and got one free of charge. Seem like good support.
Keep us posted.
Want your DIR-601 back? LOL ;D
Awesome, who did you talk too first person or level 2? Glad you go and RMA.
Awesome. Good to hear. Well get that sent off.
Motorola wont do any repairs at all? Thats a shame. Figured they might have something for repairs, even if it cost something. However probably not worth it as the fee would be about the same as getting a new one at the store. I'd go get another and keep the 6120 on back up. Glad you had one huh?
If it works, let us know, might help others in the future.
Did you simply tell Tech support that the modem wasn't working or did you tell them that the poor DIR-857 was struck by lightening????
I was honest and told them that it was a lightening storm that caused it. I told them several times as a matter of fact.
And that place I mentioned earlier that fixes modems deals only with cable providers, it's not worth fixing a single modem.
So, it DOES pay to be honest ;)
I'm rather surprised that D-Link is openly covering the modem considering the circumstances causing the damage. Kudos to D-Link support!
Let us know when you get it back SIR. :o
Kewl, how much is the fee if you don't return?
Kewl, how much is the fee if you don't return?
The price is D-Link's MSRP, which is significantly higher than any retail/online store. Best to return the unit. . . and quickly!
Specially for the price you got your for. LOL. ::)
I think you should just send me our new 857 since you seem to be abusive to your HW and I'll send you back your 601 and you can use that SIR. ;D
Honestly though, i would have the ISP come out and check and make sure your lines are well grounded. Should be a grounding strap of some sorts going to a grounding rod that should penetrate I think 3-6'. Can't remember the recommended depth off hand. All of your lines coming to the house should be. Phone, Electric and others.
Your 601 has been working well for me..cept for the antenna mod you did on it. ::)
Good idea, I thought about calling Charter and asking.
Definitely scripted. :D
;D your too funny.
Call up MS and I think repair costs are about $80 bucks, at least the last time I send something back to them that was out of warranty. Not sure what they are doing now for 360s. I sent back my 1st gen xbox. I still got it too. ;D
Ok, well thats good info.
Up to you. If you can swap out and use wireless on hers then thats good too.
Not sure when the next gen xbox is coming. Not sure if I'll jump on it either. Gaming days are hard enough to find gaming time.
Ya wish the LAN wasn't effected. You and always add wireless to the LAN connection using bridged adapters and such. I tested those TreandNet and Asus adatpers on mine, works well. I'm still using the MS 5Ghz adapter on USB though. Hehe.
