EDIT: sorry i meant a surfboard 5101.

so the past 3 or 4 months seemingly out of the blue we will lose internet, always when starting a new torrent. i can definitely say its the modem not the router, bought a wrt54gs last year and put tomato on it and it is solid, all i have to do to restore internet is reboot the modem. i have followed all the guides around and have everything set pretty minimal, max connections to 50 and so forth. is the modem just dying or is there other stuff i can look at? the signals are pretty good i believe...

its really hot today, that downstream power level is usually between -1 or -2. well its just a pain in the ass to get the cable guy out here and have someone here to meet him so thought id ask here, did alot of looking around but most people seem to only have troubles with their routers not the modems. any advice?

oh and we have charter 20/2 and when the internet dosent cut out we get the full speed of that, but i usually keep it limited around 1.5/.5 so i dont kill the net for the other pc in the house. and if it matters my pc is wired the other one downstairs is on wireless.
