I have this Motorola cable modem. Does anyone know how I can put the modem into standby mode remotely. Is there a way I could put it to “sleep” after a set amount of time, like you would a TV or stereo.

I’m looking for the link or whatever for the “user friendly online diagnostics page” that is advertised in all the materials for this modem. They seemed to have left out how to actually GET THERE, though… anyone know?

This modem only connects to the service provider and indefinite supplies one IP address per computer. If you use a computer and then want to connect another after, you have to switch off the modem and then switch it on again. Otherwise if you want to connect more than one computer at a time, you need a router. I personally have a Dlink wireless router. Hope this helps.
Also you can connect two computers if one uses the ethernet connection and the other the USB connection.
If you connecting another network device(hub, switch, router) another pc
Remember to hard reset modem you have to do the following:
Unplug power from Cable modem
Unscrew Coax (TVcable) for 5 minutes (not 1, not 4 min)
Screw the coax back, power on cable modem, wait for solid Online
hope this helps….
