Re: Heat and Cable modem??

Are you sure some of your signal levels aren't on the ragged edge and when
the outside temperature increases it causes the problem? Have you checked
your upstream level, downstream level and signal to noise ratio?

Thanks for the replies here. Both Linksys devices have feet and a
space to cool. I moved the cable modem to the top of the stack and
this helped cool it better. Just like yesterday and almost to the hour
the modem dropped out again. I moved the modem off to the side by
itself. As I mentioned before this drops have been off and on for some
time.

This timing thing for the past two days now has me thinking hardware /
cable company problem. The last time I spoke to them, "bad modem" was
the first thing out of the mouth. Previous calls with the same issue
(modem drops)... "the node is being worked on, okay, bye"

The modem may be five years old. I'm going try a hard reset with the
button and paper clip ( come to think of it I have never done a hard
reset on this thing...even moved it across town to another house ).
