For the last couple of weeks I've had "hiccups" every other day or so in my internet connection (Comcast with a Motorola SB5100 modem). I look over at the modem and the "Send" light is usually blinking. The problem goes away in anywhere from 1 - 5 minutes. I have not changed anything on my side.Is there anything I can do to tell if the problem is with the modem? What are the symptoms of a failing modem? Using speedtest.net I get speeds of 28.93/5.85 if that says anything.EDIT: I realized that I could access the modem status page through the router (thought I needed a direct connection for some reason):Downstream Signal to Noise Ratio: 39 dBDownstream Power Level: 4 dBmVUpstream Power Level: 54 dBmV
Please help
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
