My older, approximately 5 years modem keeps going off line - AT RANDOM.
The provider checked at demark point and stated the " signal is OK ".
I can access the address and do the same and see "it is OK" .
However, when it last failed the "state" was "off line" and no valid data could be retrieved.
When the modem is off line that is to be expected.
Given the above data - besides having aged internal wiring,
what is a life expectancy of B6121 modem?
Next time it happens I plan to run the modem directly from demark point thus eliminating ALL internal wiring.
Is there a way to check the wirelesses connection when the network cable is disconnected ?
PS The modem is connncetd to RJ45 router and when Intertet goes belly-up the router power light goes "yellow" - I assume that is normal failure idaicator.
