...doesn't? is it because of the location? but i try to move it as far away as i can from other electronic devices. on my modem which is the 6100G version (Westell), the data and dsl button flashes but the internet light sometimes turns off while im using it. i have already called verizon and a technician has seen it but i just want to hear other people and if this is a common problem? the technician told me i might just have a bad modem and that verizon could replace me with a new one.
