My DIL should be working for Frontier. LOL. I have a mind to change the password to a 40-digit irrational number and assign them the task of trying to crack it. Frisbees are more fun though

Thanks for the link and the suggestion. I also am skeptical. Even with as little as I know about routers, the steps they took to troubleshoot this problem made it glaringly obvious their Premium Tech Support people know less than I do

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Frontier only has two approved DSL modems listed on their site. The Arris and a NetGear model. They no longer support the NetGear model according to their tech support. They did recommend some Amazon Eero service, but I refuse to give a dime to Discount Lex Luther

The problem with the Arris is that the Website Blocking under the Firewall section only works intermittently. It will blocks the websites for an hour, then lose the ability to block websites for a couple of hours. This problem has occurred on two different NVG443Bs. Frontier told me this week...

I'm getting ready to purchase a DSL modem and return the one issued (Arris NVG443B) by my DSL provider Frontier Communications as I am currently having problems that they refuse to address. My main concern is how it will be able to authenticate & connect to their service? I once asked for the...

Thanks. Your reply got me out of the state of panic I was in and gave me the correct search terms to use. Seems the 1545 does have a daughterboard controller for the two USB ports in question. Since everything else works, it looks like this is the piece I destroyed. Now I just have to have one...

Installed the wrong battery in a rechargeable device. It was wired opposite of my old battery. When I plugged into my USB port it fried out the port as well as the device. Yes, I know I am a dumbass... I run a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed. Both USB ports on the left...
