Greetings,
Just wondering if anyone has any information or thoughts about the
average life expectancy of a modem ... Mine is around three years old
and over the weekend I had to call my ISP because I couldn't log onto
Safari or retrieve emails.
The technical people said I should use ethernet and that worked for a
day or so but now won't connect to the server either.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might have happened or is it simply
time to buy a new modem? I have an G4 Imac running OSX10.3.9.
Thanks for any help/advice.
Cheers
Tony
You do not say what sort of service ( adsl ? )
or give make or model number of Modem ! ?
We would be guessing !
Other points of interest would be :-
What power surges , lightning strikes etc have taken place in your
locality ?
Have you tried a different power Pack at the correct voltage ?
or is it Mains powered ?
