OK. Thanks. I have no idea what that means, but it gives me a starting point to troubleshoot and educate myself on. My verizon modem has 4 yellow ethernet ports and one white ethernet port, labeled WAN. I have the 2nd wifi modem plugged into one of the yellow ports. Shall I swap it to the white? Or am I just throwing darts? Thanks again for your input. I dearly love my Touch and would like to get it righteous again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oldmako's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103300 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
