Have you tried updating the firmware?

There is no firmware for this product on the website of linksys, only drivers available.

It could be your internet service provider.

I've got nothing solid to offer. A few thoughts:

Could be a faulty modem. Any friends in the area using the same service that you could swap with?

Is the cable modem plugged into a UPS or at least a good surge protector?

Is it running hot?
