Re: SYNC Timing Synchronization failure

The signal stats at that moment in time were o/k. Are you actually experiencing any connectivity problems or just focusing on the error log entries ?

Re: SYNC Timing Synchronization failure

There had been issues with connectivity and excessive buffering intermittently over the last week or so but not at the time when I was logged into the modem.. I guess I’ll just continue to keep an eye on it.
