Update Cisco Modem Software & Settings Now to Avoid DSL Service Interruptions
If you use a Cisco 675 or 678 modem for DSL Internet service and you've experienced spontaneous disconnections by your modem recently, it's likely your modem is being overloaded by messages from the Code Red virus or its mutations.
If you haven't experienced connection drops yet, it may only be a matter of time, because of the way the virus propagates.
Unplugging the power and plugging it back in usually restores the modem's ability to connect to your ISP, but it does not prevent future service interruptions.
Cisco Systems and Qwest Communications recommend updating the 675 and 678 modem software and changing configuration settings to reduce vulnerability. Service by an experienced technician is advised because a reprogramming error can damage your modem.
A SavvyNet Network Services technician can install the recommended updates and verify your modem performance in a brief visit to your location. The fee for this service is $87.50 in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
