Possible fix for Comcast users who have the Technicolor router/modem

For the last 2 weeks I have been getting caterpillar and hawk errors followed by being disconnected from XBOX Live religiously. I use the Technicolor modem only to connect to my other wireless router. I never had a problem until 2 weeks ago using this set-up. Today I wanted to try something. I had to call Comcast to do it as you can't do this on your end and I hadn't done this before when I first recieved the Technicolor unit. I had them put it into bridge mode. What that does is, it shuts down the wireless router functions of the Technicolor and it only operates as a modem for my Belkin wireless router. I did this at 9:30am and am still playing without any difficulties. I did receive a "currant" error at 12:50pm, but have had no issues since. This will only work if you're using a separate wireless router or standard router in conjunction with the Technicolor unit. If the Technicolor unit is your primary equipment you'll need to do port triggering instead of forwarding. I hope this is helpful to someone. Today is literally the longest I have played in the last 2 weeks and this apparently helped.

  • Tried everything. Comcast said it was not their problem, nor mine. They ran tests, it's bungie servers. Still doesn't work. 3 Months and waiting. Sue time? I'm starting to think. I waited for THREE MONTHS for this to be fixed. It's not, no way am I getting a refund after having hope for THREE MONTHS. Bungie won't fix it, so they just ignore it. Worthless.

    • This is not a myth! I replaced my Technicolor TC8305c with the only available ARRIS motorola tg862g variety that is offered through BEST BUY. It seemed like the best option since it was specifically built for comcast users that also have the phone option. I played for about six hours straight with no drops and no changes to the port forwarding.
