Fort Collins Youth Broadcasting

So, as you may have noticed (or not), KLIK Radio has been down for the past..oh..24 hours or so.  We’ve narrowed down the problem to our Qwest modem, and are currently investigating the root issues.  Here’s what we know:

• The modem is not sustaining a connection to the network
• The modem is not assigning IP addresses to local computers
• The modem will connect to the Qwest network, but will not receive an IP address
• The modem is inaccessible via web browser
• The modem cannot be pinged

Here are some possibilities that we’re thinking may be happening:

• The modem is overheating
• The modem has already overheated to the point that it’s now damaged
• Firmware issues

And…lastly…here are our options for recovery:

• Cool the modem down, then…
• Performing a hard, factory reset of the modem
• Still not working?  Purchase a new one.

Since we’re volunteer-based, the recovery process is significantly slower than usual.  But…we’re going to get started with the general process around 5:45.  Wish us luck 🙂
