So I believe I am in the market to replace my Vigor 130. I am under the impression its not going to last much longer, its started to do some peculiar things. This morning I awoke to no internet and upon investigation I saw my Vigor 130 had no lights, as if someone pulled the power. I figured it might be the power, so I decided to swap out the plug for something with the same Voltage and Amps. It powered back up and I thought that was the end of it, until perhaps 10 minutes ago when my internet went off again.
No lights again. So I am under the impression that the modem is indeed dying. I could easily buy another Vigor 130 but I felt like it might be best to come here for some recommendations. I have noticed that my line tends to prefer chipsets like that found in the Vigor 130. Anything different and it either results in a lower sync or lots of line errors resulting in DLM freaking out.
Also, I was never able to configure the Vigor 130 to talk through my Orbi so I can monitor line stats. Having a new modem which makes it easy to do that (without the head scratch) would be nice. Thanks.
