Out of interest, if you log into the modem and click Basic at the top, is the IP address a v4 or v6 address?

right now its showing ipv6 address. is that the reason why my bridging fails?
it was 2 weeks ago if im not mistaken, my internet was down for one evening and when it went back on i logged in and just want to check my connection when i noticed there was no more ipv4 settings..

Hmm, the plot thickens. I wonder if they're disabling bridge mode as part of the v6 rollout?

yeaa perhaps..because i remember seeing one of the recent poster in here was trying to bridge his/her modem and might have been successful since not all places have been supplied with ipv6 so far (right?)

does anyone know the name for that cable that we used from the upc splitter box to this tc7200 modem? is it "coaxial cable"?

the white one provided by upc is just too short..so does this one will fit and work for our setup?

i have the technicolor modem and i have a iptv box connected to it hardwired it streams fine for about 10 mins then stops and the lights on the modem stops and its like it resets itself and when i disconnect the ethernet cable out of the modem and plug it back in the tv picture on the iptv comes back..it happens every 15 mins. can anyone help me from stopping this is there a setting in the modem that can prevent this

Hello I think I have this router. I have 60 mb. Is it possible to turn off the blinking light? I like to watch movies in the dark.

I too upgraded from 30mb to 120mb recently and got this crappy Technicolor TC7200.U smart modem/router box. I am now suffering terrible problems playing on XBL lag, disconnecting from XBL, getting kicked from party lobbies and party.

What's strange is that once the game gets going (zombies long game) I dont get kicked or suffer party trouble at all but sitting in the lobby for 5 minutes or so with some friends not all of my friends and I get kicked. So I thought NAT is my problem and I logged onto the box and was looking for NAT but it's not there so I enabled UPNP and said surely that will solve it now but no it is exactly the same still.

Anyone have any clue what I can do next on this stupid box. Its wired connection and DHCP is assigning IP to the xbox, Firewall is set to low and I dont not want to turn this off completely. I did try give the xbox static IP and google DNS but then my NAT is strict as I get the message from the xbox directly after this configuration, I don't get the message from the xbox under DHCP and checking it I found it my NAT open under DHCP, so I really cannot explain this.
Modem firmware STD6.01.27

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

So it has been ages since I was on XBL until the other day, so I had no need to go to bridge even though HD stream on some streaming sites just does not work, but I could live with it enough not to spend over a day messing round trying to get bridge mode stable..
as I mentioned before ages ago... I am was having real problems gaming, again the other night no matter what game COD4,WOT,BO2 its just certain people i get kicked.

I done the dmz ages ago it helped a little not much and ports were forwarded to xbox also..

So I opted to turn firewall off- No difference, I bridged the modem with a netgear router both ways snmp/webpage and it dropped every 5 to 10 mins..
I then tried it with a regular Intellinet router and it seems better now, I mean it has not dropped once in two days and all seems good.

I am thinking is it just certain devices it just works with or not work with?, if I remember correctly Karsini has it bridged with an AVM Fritz Box 7390, What I am wondering is, is there anybody else out there with the same box as Karsini or me, my question for you is it's working or not working?? same box working here but not working elsewhere??,

My box: Intellinet Wireless 300N 4 port router as cheap as chips really and free in my case!!

yeah I read that alright. I did the bridge both ways on the netgear still the same SNMP was my first try tbh as I did read the problems with others and its the one I have done now with my Intellinet that's working good so far.. well two days really but better than ten minutes..

I would really like to know though if someone had issue's bridgiing with one device got there hands on another one we know works good and tried it does it resolve their issues. Is the device flaky with some other devices and not others just seems odd it was crapping out with my netgear which is way better than this cheap oul router but it works none the less so no complaints in that end..

They've changed your provisioning to the new modem, you'll need to call them to get the old one to work.

you would think at this stage they would just turn on bridging so we can buy our own routers

their routers are **** joke it is

Talking to one of their technicians recently and he said they were currently trialing new routers and the response was very favorable. I'm damned if I can remember the name of them but I think it started with 'A'

Any members out there using them?

I had very unreliable WiFi between April and December 2014. I got UPC to issue a new TC7200 first, but the problems were still the same. So I called to tell them that each TC7200 provisions a wireless service with its country code locked to operate in the Netherlands rather than in Ireland, and that I basically wanted a router that's set up to work in Ireland. They conceded the point and sent out a Cisco EPC3925 by overnight delivery. Feels like I won the lottery.

Has anyone tried simply buying a cable modem and getting them to provision it for you?
