Switching from Cisco EPC3925 Router to ASUS RT-AC1200G+ with Adapter for Concentrator Connection

Question

Hello, such a problem: the internet is supplied via the concentrator to the Cisco epc3925 router - and since it has recently failed, the decision was made to change the device to ASUS RT-AC1200G +. The problem is that Asus does not have a cable entry. The question is, is it possible to get...

There is nothing to get around. There must be a router or a cable modem provided by cable at the entrance. It is not possible to connect your own device directly to a coaxial cable. The adapter from the link will not help at all.

sanfran · Answer

Buddy goldi74, he doesn't have to. All you need is any other modem or cable router, as long as it has the appropriate parameters. Routers such as bunches, for example from the NetGear stable:

This device from the link from the first post is a BNC to Ethernet UTP coaxial adapter. Concentrations died with computers 386. What you have at home is a completely different technology, despite the external similarity. And when you look at it, even the similarity disappears, because the mentioned router accepts cables similar to those from satellite decoders.

Which self-respecting cable cable will allow you to connect the modem provided by the subscriber to its network? Probably none. (At least in PL)

sanfran · Answer

Let us leave this matter for clarification by the author of the topic with his service provider.

jprzedworski · Answer

The problem is that cable operators configure these devices remotely (after all, nobody runs from them to, for example, update the firmware) - they are in the central management system, they are clearly identified. If another device is inserted, there will be a problem.

In Poland, no cable operator allows you to install your own devices. In the US, maybe in GB, but not in our country. And not only do they update the firmware on the system to make life easier for users, but also to have full control over your own network. Recently, UPC has removed the bridge mode from the quite successful COMPAL, because yes ... The author of the thread is left with a phone call to the provider and a request for a device that allows you to work in bridge mode. Greetings

Just call UPC and the bridge mode will be back. @ friss84 As they write - the operator's cable modem must be there. If it is defective, the operator is obliged to replace it with a defect-free one.

K_o_s · Answer

OK, but I think the operator should not cut out essential functionalities that people count on and solicit without notice. This is not a normal situation for me. Greetings

Relevant to 0.1% of customers.

K_o_s · Answer

Who also pay the bills and have the right to expect functionality and services not worse than those they ordered. Personally, I have 2 UPC installations, one is individual and the other is business. They differ significantly in the approach to the client, although the money is similar ... UPC has more and more monopolistic aspirations and practices related to them. With this approach, it can only be more fun than in the direct competition of UPC. Greetings

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

Their equipment can do whatever they want and they are not obliged to inform anyone about it - such a provision is even in the regulations. You sign the contract, that is, you agree to these terms and conditions and you accept them. It is more about the company's policy - everyone should have modem routers and make it available to their WiFree - although WiFree works on the modem (that's just such miracles on the stick - a cable modem with working wifi), but people turn it off WiFree in the My UPC panel. The company wants to achieve this, as I wrote earlier - all modem routers with permanent WiFree and impossible to turn off in any way.

nici · Answer

The serial numbers of the modem are entered into the system, so no other (even the same) will work without activation by the operator.

I don't know about other suppliers, but my (MM) is replacing the equipment with a new one without any discussions or fees.

I changed the modem once after 4 years (it worked, but it was of an older generation) and the sat decoder twice. No problems.

I will just add that the decoder is also registered in the system

K_o_s · Answer

Since my colleague, such practices do not suit me ... WiFree can no longer be turned off in the panel, you probably have to call. You can at most change your password. As for the permanence of WiFree ... it's a pity for words, only a bigger OT will be done. EOT Greetings

JacekCz · Answer

This is the correct interpretation.

jimasek · Answer

To the author of the topic - the device from the provider must remain in place so that you have access to the Internet. What mode it will work in is your business and the question of agreeing with the supplier. If the device (modem) does not work properly, it should be reported to the operator.
