[Elecraft] CODEC UPDATE & CLOSE

[Neil Zampella]

Mike,

I had heard anecdotal stories about Xfinity modems and ethernet 
connections to non-computer equipment.  I actually had one customer who 
had the problem, I took a spare Linksys router, and connected it between 
the Xfinity modem, and the equipment, and that fixed the issue for my 
customer.    I basically turned off the Xfinity WiFi, installed a top of 
the line Linksys AC-1900 router, and all the ethernet, and wireless 
connections go through that, and he's not seen the issue since.

As usual YMMV ... :)

Neil, KN3ILZ
