So the other night my internet went down and I called tech support. Did the usual, unplug the modem, waited. Went to plug the modem back in and BOOM. A bright white light arced into the modem as I was plugging it in and it toasted the modem. So I set aside mediacoms modem, went into the closet and grabbed a dpc3925 cisco modem that I had laying around. Had Mediacom activate it and all was well. I was able to get into the default modem gui, swap a few things around and was set. Currently, I can NOT get into the default gui which is causing an issue for me. While I was in default, I set the firewall filtering to the highest setting. This is causing me to not be able to login automatically to the battle.net client that blizzard uses for WoW, Hearthstone, Diablo 3, Heroes of the Storm and the other games.
Also in swapping to this modem/router combo, I lost IPV6. I just read a post stating that if I shut off my pc, unplug the modem and plug it back in that it may come up so I will try that and let you know if it works. I would love to have IPV6 back, and from what this link says http://www.cnet.com/products/cisco-model-dpc3925-8x4-docsis-3-0-wireless-residential-gateway-with-embedded-digital-voice-adapter-wireless-router/specs/ IPV6 is fully supported.
Mediacomchad if you could lend a hand on new years day I would really appreciate it, thanks good sir!
Edit: Still only on IPV4, can't get back to IPV6 which I would really like.
Edit2: With the default modem gui set to the high value for firewall protection, I can't even login to world of warcraft etc. I guess I could try to do a factory reset on the modem, however then I would have to re-setup my entire wifi, IF I can even get back into the stock gui, which for some reason I am currently locked out of. Everytime I go to 192.168.0.1 it takes me to the mediacom portal, has me login and gives basic crap that has nothing to do with my network and is only real value is the wifi usage since they block that from the default gui.
Sorry for the long post, but need help asap as I can't game on my day off lol.
