| First, I question the grounding as a possible problem, at least in my case.
My tripod is never grounded accept through the 120 volt power source at the modem.
Right now I'm in the sand and things work fine or as fine as this system can ever be.
On occasion this occurrence has happened to me.
All lites on, and it doesn't respond to a browser click.
I wait, back page or reload and it comes to life. Some times I wait a little longer.
This problem never lasts long enough to check other browsers and I never thought to bring up the Advanced Page.
I wonder if it is possible for th modem to be thinking or something that would not show on the LED display.
Since it doesn't flash a TX when you click, then could it be a browser glitch?
I wish the event would last longer to be able to do some testing. |

You're not "grounded" through the 120 volt power source. That 3rd prong only grounds the power adapter, which is also an AC/DC transformer. You cannot ground backwards through a transformer bridge. The coaxial cable grounding block is the engineered path to ground for your modem. See »Grounding Question
Tascha - the answer is yes, system grounds need periodic inspection and maintenance just like anything else. The most common issue is corroded connectors. You can't see it from the outside, but - when present - is very apparent when you unscrew to see what they look like inside. Gold good, white bad. Secondarily, ground wires themselves can come loose at either end, or even get cut by a lawn mower

| Hey guys, thanks very much for the tips. I guess I will have to break out the ladder and climb up to the roof and see.
Today the modem has behaved itself all day today...strange. Maybe it is only supposed to function "up to" 100% of the time, and 50% to 75% is the standard. 
Cheers,
Tascha |

I think its a power supply issue. |

That would be my next guess. I've seen faulty (but still functioning) power supplies cause a bizarre array of problems. People tend to think that if it's powering the modem up, it must be OK. Not always the case.

Unfortunately they often test out OK voltage-wise, but don't hold up under a load. Additionally, the problems can be intermittent which makes chasing them down even more difficult. I have seen more than one person with a long-term problem, that could not be resolved otherwise, see a dramatic improvement in performance by simply changing power supplies.

Thanks for the reply, but how do you go about getting a new power supply to try out? |
