IPv4 issues after SB8200 upgrade.

After upgrading to SB8200, my router and modem have issues with IPv4 adresses.  It begins after a period of time.  Restarting the router fixes it for an indefinite period of time but eventually it loses the ability to resolve IPv4 addresses.  I have tried two different routers with the SB8200, with both routers experiencing the loss of IPv4 and have not had a problem with the SB6140.  This started after an upgrade to ultimate.  Other forums have resolved this as a ?backend" network engineering issue but the fix is not automated.  I have tried disabling IPv6 and that does not work.  When IPv4 shutsdown, access to the modem address, 192.168.100.1, is affected and the modem cannot be accessed.  This is not a new problem but appears unresolved in Cox as a search shows this comes up quite often.  I will need to cancel the service and return the modem if this is not fixed.

    Here is a tracert to "gmail.com" when the modem is working and when it fails.  The issue is outside the local lan but is at a crossover to IPv6 in Cox land and is part of the route table that the modem stores.  Rebooting the modem "fixes" it until some IPv6/IPv4 route table update from an access corrupts the routing table and makes everything unreachable including the mode @ 192.168.100.1.  Probably accessible to tech that can arp the modems route table.

    Working, no isues...
