Hi,
Initially what I suspect is that your USR's connection to your ISP is intermittent but with that of the USB modem is consistent. This is clearly an ISP issue and should be resolved by them.
One thing you can try is to verify the integrity of the line splitter that is commonly used to split the 2-wire signal to the telephone and to the modem/router. You can actually remove the splitter and connect the telephone line straight to the WAN/ADSL input of the USR 9106 Wireless Gateway and check if their is an improvement or if your ADSL and WAN IP will light up consistently.
Alternately, if your ISP is too busy to attend to your concern, you can try mimicking the USR's WAN settings to that of the USB modem's. While still using the USB (provided by your ISP) determine its WAN IP settings. This would be IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS. You need to access the USB modem to get this data. Should you need detailed instructions, pls post back the make/model of the ISP provided USB modem. If you were able to gather the information. Connect your USR 9106 Wireless Gateway (Ethernet 1~4) to your PC using a LAN cable and enter its configuration page. In its WAN/ADSL settings, use the numbers gathered from the USB modem. You may need to do a full hard reset on the router (rear panel) prior to putting in the numbers.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. If problem persists, pls post back as requested, how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.

- Hi again,
Appreciate your postback and additional information.
Re your Sagemfast 800 E3 modem, to my knowledge, there are two (2) versions, PPP and 1483, pls which one do you have?Apr 11, 2008
- My compliments, not that many FixYa users are familiar with line commands.
In any case, do you have a copy of the user's manual of the USR 9106 Wireless Gateway. The instructions are very detailed there. A downloadable version is
here should you need it.
If you should be interested, manuals for the PPP version of your modem is
here while the 1483 is
here.
Looking forward to your post for any development(s) or even the lacck of it.

- Since you are not having the same issue when using the USB modem, then it would be safe to say that the ISP/line is not a problem. Further as you have posted, you have exhausted all user available remedies and the USR Gateway is still non functional, then your idea of replacing your gateway would seem the only option left.
I wish you luck with your project.
