said by anectine17  :Grounding, grounding, grounding. I dont think so in this case. I saw several modems (HN7K) do this right out the box.
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? |
