Question about Siemens SpeedStream Modem (4100) (SS4100)

Printer and Modem

When I use the printer, the SpeedStream disconnects and I have to reset it. It worked for a year. I checked the connections. Pulled out all cords and reinserted them. Could it be the electricity in the den---looks like I get a surge on the computer screen---it dims and then brightens.

Are you using a USB cable to connect your modem ? Are you using a USB cable to connect your printer ? If you are using a USB cable to connect your modem, try using an ethernet cable and your LAN card instead. It will work better and you won't need modem drivers to make it work. You do however have to have a LAN card or built-in LAN adapter. As long as you have one of those 2, the best way to hook up your modem would be by using the ethernet jack on the modem straight into your LAN card/adapter. If you are not using USB to connect your modem then please send me your printer model and how it's hooked up and I will help you figure it out. Hope this helps.

Reset your router . Disconnect the power cord by 40 seconds, and after inmediately click in the small switch that router has with a pencil eraser, for to reset, try again.
However after that if the wireless is o.k good, but if not open the open network connection, select the network troubleshooting and fix it.
You must be sure that connection to Internet BY YOUR supplier is GOOD, and NOT has problem.
God bless you

The electricity went off to my printer and it hasn't worked since. I have tried turning it on and off. I have tried resetting the ing cartriges . I have tried unplugging , waiting and replugging. Nothing...

Which brand/model of printer do you have? Check the warranty for the printer and contacting the manufacturer, if it is under warranty.

First though what type of power cord does the printer have? If there is a power module (brick), disconnect the cord from both the printer, the wall outlet and separate the cord from the module. Wait a minute and then plug the cord into the module and then into the wall outlet. If it has an LED, is that LED lit? (Check the printer itself or the module and find out what power should be getting to the printer. If you have a multi-meter, check if the cord is getting the correct power level.) Try another power cord if you have one that matches the connection and the voltage output (for a power module).

Some printers have a soldered-in fuse and it should be handled as a warranty repair when the printer is under a year old.

I hope this helps.

(I'm currently waiting for a return shipping label for a similar printer issue. HP gave a credit for a new printer instead of sending a refurbished unit. I didn't have a spare power cord but did have 30 V at the printer side of the power module's cord. This was at the specifications for the unit. This is the first HP printer I've ever had fail within a year. Previously the ink jet failed after 9 years of use.)
