Modem frequently disconnects/reconnects
Using Win 7 SP1, LinkSys CM3008 modem, LinkSys BEFSR41 router
I replaced a Spectrum-rented Motorola SB5101 modem with a LinkSys CM3008 I purchased. Occasionally, the Motorola would disconnect, but not often enough to concern me.
However, the CM3008 disconnects every day, several times a day. When it disconnects, it immediately attempts to reconnect and does so within a minute or so. Very irritating.
Is there a diagnostic procedure to determine the problem? If it's the nature of the beast, I'll just get another modem. There have been reports that the CM3008 overheats so I placed a thermometer on the case a few times - it never gets above 100 degrees.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
