Is the modem getting very hot? Make sure it's got free flow of air around it. What operating system are you running? And how old's your PC? Does it have a lot of cards installed? Are there other items attached to the USB sockets? Also, who's your ISP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkcin Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I'm on Tiscali and the internet is acting a bit strange today. I've been with them for ages and it hasn't happened before, but today the internet works for a few mins, then doesnt work, then does, then doesnt etc. Its very frustrating.

JoeP Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ahhh....sounds like you might want to wait a day or two and see what happens. I know that when I had a USB modem on a not so new PC I had a world of pain - partially due to overheating on the modem and partially due to the power supply on the computer being stretched. The other question is - do you have microfilters correctly installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
