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.

Re: Printer and Modem
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.

plug the computer into the modem testing dhcp
if it gets internet the modem is the dhcp server
the plug into router by itself disconnected it from modem testing dhcp if gets ip address and no internet it's the dhcp server
dhcp can be done by the modem or router. I bridged mode the modem and let the router do dhcp. of course the router must be pppoe for dsl. been years since I had DSL, hope it helps
The Modem may be over heating, make sure the modem is not in a cupboard or a small confined area, check if the modem is hot to touch, if it is move the modem to another area.
go to your setup button on the printer (not the computer) and select wireless connection. The SSID should appear automatically. Choose the enter WEP option and enter the WEP for your particular modem. That's it
Have you tried powering all three off, restart the modem, wait until it is fully up, restart the router, wait until it is fully up and then restart the computer? Sounds like the IP address's are not coming up correctly. As far as the reconfigure problem, the support guy couldnt help you with that?
Please check if the POWER light on your modem is solid RED.
Because if it is, your modem is already defective.
If you purchased it from your Internet Service Provider,contact them to check if your modem is still in warranty so they can replace it ot not.
If you purchased it from near computer shops near you, they it's time to buy a new modem.
you can't.
when the item name as modem/router. it means the main function is modem with added router function.
you can't connect 2 router/modem together. both need access to the internet and IPS for it function correctly.
however, you can connect 1 modem and one router.
