Hello,
I have two Ambit cable modems in my house. They are literally on top
of each other. There is only one cable connection coming into the
room. The cable company installed a splitter right behind my desk and
hooked up the two modems (one is residential use, the other a
commercial account). The modem belonging to the commercial account is
directly plugged into a separate business PC. My 'residential' modem
is plugged into a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and than to my
personal PC.
With this configuration, my personal PC will intermittently lose the
connection to the cable modem. Only by reseating (unplugging/
replugging) either power to modem, power to router or CAT5 cable will
it reconnect. I have tried two different routers of the same make,
resulting in the same problem. The commercial account never loses
connectivity. When I plug my personal PC directly into the cable
modem, I don't have any problems. At the same time, when the second
modem is unplugged (power) I can use the residential modem connected
to the router without any connectivity problems.
I have also tried switching the two modems to no avail. The modem
without the router stays connected while the router on the second
modem fails to communicate.
I have called Linksys and they changed some settings without
improvement. The cable provider has been out twice but there is
nothing wrong with the cable modems. I'm at a loss... Please help!
Thank you
