Dunno :-) It's a modem, so I guess you cannot gather any useful information from it (I mean no "logs" you can review to get the device WAN activity). Can you tell us the brand and model name of the modem? Maybe allows some basic monitoring...

One thing you could try before actually *replacing* the router is just disconnect it and connect directly through the switch (seeing you have one in your setup). Of course, you'll have to connecti to your ISP manually -- as opposed to your router taking care of it -- but it would surely take any router issues out of the equation, helping you further pinpoint the problem. -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Also wanted to add that you should check your router for the latest firmware updates, most residential routers are rushed out the door fugees style (ready or not, here I come), and then receive some firmware updates to take care of the inevitable problems that early adopters discover. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
