Hi Bill,
I would try a new cable between the router and the cable modem. You
might just have a loose connection. If that does not fix the problem,
then play around with the setup software options in the Asante router.
I found the tech support folks at Asante to be really helpful. I
contacted them because I was having problems getting the Newton
connected. Have you contacted them for suggestions?
