Why does this ADSL modem lose broadband connection when the UPS starts beeping due to low voltage?

Hey.. you need to check the battery of the UPS, as it got week. When the power off, Normally the output of UPS is depend up on the source of battery power inside. when power exists then, it keeps on charging and holds it with average voltage of 12.0 + - 5.0, but when power off, then the charging section will be off, leading the voltage of the battery reduced to 11.5 + - 5.0, if the battery is good condition. if it is in bad condition then, the battery power would be below to 9.0 volts. in such situation the out put will be stoped for a while and the modem gets disconnected as power gets off for a while that is 1.2 secs. The PC will continuesly work without shut down. so you need to change the battery of the UPS or have a Advanced technology API UPS so it have low voltage fecility to rum the UPS. hope it works with you.. all the best.

Four possible problems --\n\n1) Modem is not working correctly and needs fixed or replaced.\n\n2) You are getting bad signals on the line (corrupted line) and the modem is getting mixed up on how to handle.\n\n3) A slight possible problem is that your options on your computer are not set properly to handle the DSL hookup, but I doubt this since it only happens every few weeks. \n\n4) Power or power spikes at the DSL Provider company is causing the DSL line to have errors and the DSL device stops working.  This can happen in lighting storms, High wind, or someone hits a power pole! \n\nIn both cases, you need your DSL representative to send a technical person to do a check of your line and modem to be sure they are in good working order.\n\nThe technical person will likely tell you that since you are not getting the problem more often that they are likely not going to be able to trace down the problem.  \n\nSuggestion -- See if there is a log on your Internet connect that can be set on to trace all communications.  You have a good chance of catching what is causing the problem if your computer has the capability to log problems.  Mine is done through the security software I have installed.\n\nRecommend going to Cable if you can.  It does not cost too much more and you will have far fewer problems!

DSL = Before going thru a lot of exercises, call your ISP and ask them if they are having any problems, to first eliminate that possibility. You could throw in a request for a new modum.  Just make sure it isn't your router that's causing the problem.\n\nCall your phone company and insist that when you are talking on the phone you frequently hear a lot of loud  static/crackling, and that you want your outside and inside lines replaced.(Don't mention anything about the internet)  \n\n\nTry start/connect to/show all connections/right click on the connection that you are using/repair, and  check for spyware/malware.  \n\nFlush your dns .=.  start/run/ cmd/ ipconfig /flushdns/ok(enter)     \n Are you using a software firewall and/or router?\n\n\nUnplug modem/router and turn off computer, then plug everything back in.  Also check to make sure your network card is  correctly installed.=  Windows XP = r/click "my computer"/click the "hardware" tab/click "device manager"/\nexpand "network adapters" and see if there is anything listed, and if it is listed, see if it has an "X" or exclamation mark? \n\n\nClear/clean your cache and go to your local settings folder and empty your "temp" folder.\n\nBroadband Reports =» The 'bible' for Information on DSL, Cable and Other High Speed Internet Services = \nhttp://www.dslreports.com/tools  +   \n broadbandreports.com/tools/ connection tools\nhttp://www.broadbandreports.com/tools + \n\nhttp://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php\n\nhttp://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest\n\nTCP Optimizer = Speed up internet =   \nhttp://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2104\n\nhttp://www.testmy.net \n\nhttp://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp\n\nhttp://cable-dsl.home.att.net = Navas Cable Modem/DSL Tuning Guide  \n\n\nHow to interpret your Line Stats = http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/linestats.htm\n\n\nBT Broadband Desktop Help is a FREE, automated support tool = http://www.btyahoo.com/broadbandhelp\n\nBroadband - UK -= http://www.adslguide.org.uk/isps/summarylist.asp\n\nTautology Bandwidth Meter = http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/link/tbm/ \nnet meter =   http://readerror.gmxhome.de/

Sometimes its just the modem that was bad. I even had problems with two of my computers with dial up. Compaq. computers but I called them and they knew of the problem and replaced it free of charge. Dial up modems are super cheap right now. Like 14.99 on ebay and cheap in stores too. Maybe pick up a new one and try it out. Make sure its a 56 K. Ver 2 modem. Cheers!\n\nAnd dont leave the interent connected all night with dial up turn it off when your not home. It could make it burn up. \n\nCan you get DSL? Sometimes when you can only get dial up you might be able to get DSL! CHeck with www.sbc.yahoo.com

sometimes routers and modems "get stupid". Try unhooking the power and ethernet cables from the back of the modem and router if you have one. Wait 10-30 seconds then plug them back in. This is one way to RESET the modem and router. YOu might have to do this from time to time. Its nothing to worry about.

#1 - Take the router out of line. - If your problem persists, then you can eliminate the router as being bad.\n\n#2 - Make sure all of your cables are good. Just one bad cable can cause the intermittent scenario you are describing.\n\n#3 - Power cycle the modem. Turn off your computer first. Then, unplug the power cable from your modem for at least 30 seconds. Plug it back in and restart your computer. \n\n#4 - Check your Network Interface Card on your computer. \nStart \nControl Panel\nSystem\nHardware Tab\nDevice Manager\nNetwork Adapters\n\nRight click on listed adapters\nproperties\nDevice Status is? If this says your device is working properly, then this COULD eliminate this problem. Not 100% guarantee though.\n\nBorrow a friend's modem (if you can) and hook it up. This will help you determine if your modem is the culprit.\n\nStill no help?\n\nCall your service provider technical support and if you are nice, they may walk you through your problem at no charge. They will also inform you on how you can obtain a new modem, if that is the case.\n\nHope this all helps!

To determine that its not your service provider, try bypassing the router and hook direct to your modem.  If it connection is stable, check your settings.  Is firmware the latest?  Do you have MTU option in the router, you can try adjusting it - lower by increments of 10 (for Cable broadband start at 1500, for DSL start at 1400).\n\nCheck if you have any firewalls enabled.  Routers have a built-in (NAT) firewall that often conflict with other firewalls and security software on your computer - try disabling it.

It could be a flakey modem board, or it could be your telephone connection that is flakey.  If you hear lots of crackles and pops when you use the telephone, then it would be your connection.  If you complain, the phone company may be able to switch you to another set of wires to clean up your connection.\n\nIf your telephone connection is good, then tell your DSL provider about your problem to see if you can swap for another DSL modem.

if you have a cable modem just turn it off count to 5 turn it on. most will reset when you do that.

I have the same problem. It is incredibly slow and i am using an ADSL line!

The first thing you have to do is identify if the problem is the cable network, or your computer. It is definitely not the modem if you have replaced that already. If you have a laptop or know someone who does, try plugging the laptop in to see if it does the same thing. I am willing to bet that it will, leaving the cable system as the cause. The problem is that there are many factors that could be causing the issue....bad cable, bad connectors, bad splitter.. you will probably have to have a technician come out. Make sure that all of your connectors are tight and not just halfway screwed on. Also make sure your cable splitter says 5 - 1,000 MHz (1 GHz).

Your problem is the Hard Disk. It could be your connectors & bad contacts. Electronic problem mostly. I don't understand how you connect the same system at 2 places. Do you carry your system wherever you go?\n\nIf that is the case then you should get yout power sources checked for proper earthing. Last resort........change your HDD. Use the current as a backup drive so your data isn't lost.\n\nGood luck.

if you are on adsl, try turning off your modem/router, then unplug all cables. then reconnect everything again.
