I have a Speedstream 4200 that up until a few months ago worked fine. Now it's started resetting itself all the time, making it impossible to connect to the internet. Sometimes when I turn it on, it works fine for a while, then just automatically cuts off and on. Is there anything I can do, or should I just purchase a new one?

put the modem in bridge mode and then connect a DSL/cable router to it...you'll have to configure the PPOE if its DSL... Cable is a little easier because there usually is a MAC authientication not username and password...plug dsl/cable router into cable modem...turn both off for about aminute then turn modem on first then router... Be careful most routers with wireless have it enable with no security by default...turn it off or set securty (wirelss that is)

If you will have the new modem and the same problem will occur, then you can say that it could be a fault with the phoneline or if it is with the old modem.

The DSL light blinking or going out indicates that the DSL modem is loosing sync. This is usually caused by noise on the line. When you get the DSL service you should be given filters to put on all of your phones so that the phones will not interfere with the DSL signal. Those filters need to be attached to anything connected to the phone line that has the DSL on it except for the DSL modem. Other than that the problem could be on the service providers end, something outside your home, or the DSL modem going out. I would suggest that you verify everything is filtered, then contact your service provider so they can run test on your DSL line.

From the telephone outlet the dsl line (telephone line) connects to the dsl jack of the Speedstrem 4200 DSL Modem.

From the modems open port you connect one Cat5 network cable into the port (in back) of the Belkin N Wireless router.

For wireless internet connection to begin you must also do a wireless set-up on the software side of the Belkin router or through their web interface.
