Hi all,
Is it possible to convert an "always on" cable modem to manual. I did this when I had dsl by accessing the ip address of the dsl modem. However, with the cable modem, I can't do this. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

Some Motorola modems have a button on top to pretty much disconnect the modem from your LAN. That's about as manual as it gets.
By the way, what problem are you trying to solve?

Or just unplug (or turn off, if it has a switch) the router or cable modem (which is what the poster is talking about).
A periodic power cycle seems to be good for the soul of some of these interface boxes anyway :-)
You can just unplug the ethernet cable from the DSL router when you're not using it.
You just asked this same exact question yesterday and I answered it yesterday. What gives?

Good point, thanks.
