Hey everyone. I've just recently just had a terrible power surge, causing all the lights to dim, my server to shut off and my modem/router to go nuts. They are all running off surge protectors and my main PC and server are fine. The router is also fine, but I feel the modem is about to kick the bucket.
The surge caused it to turn off, and then wouldn't accept any power. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, still not accepting the power. I unplugged it from the surge protector and plugged it straight into the mains, now it worked. Only thing is, the ENET light is going mad - it will NOT stop flashing as if there is constant activity, even though the send/receive lights are idle and the WAN light on my router is also idle.
This didn't happen before the surge. I've got the NTL:100 modem. Any ideas if it's on it's last legs? :(
