• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

My preemptive apologies as this is not really a pure Networking issue, but often has a lot to do with Servers and the administration of a network so I thought this would be an appropriate place to post:

Regarding, remote power cycle devices using an IP connection:

These are often mentioned as being used to power cycle, among other devices, cable or DSL Modems. I don't understand how the IP connection to remotely communicate with the Power Cycle unit can exist if the Modem is ITSELF a problem ("locked up" or otherwise). What is the methodology to resolve a problem when the MODEM itself is not functioning?

Thnaks for the informed responses.
