Of course I cant prove it but there is somthing not right and I cant put my finger on the difficulty too many things just happen and logic just dosent permit that. There is a cockroach in this system and I had hoped to find it by fixing the basic problems first. Dont forget when I installed this modem and put the case back together. Turned on power windows booted and dialed my ISP. No install no hassel of any kind, the modem cant be totally at falt.
