All lights on front of modem keep going out!
Liz-
Tech came out and was a helpful guy. He did not opt to replace the modem since it's been swapped twice already. He said he updated the software on my existing modem and he also found that the coupler that connects the indoor and outdoor coax runs between the modem and the satellite was lose. He tightened the connection and asked that I let him know if I continue to have problems. Due to it being winter, I'm at the property very little so it may be a while before I am able to confirm if I'm still having problems. I will post back once I get a chance to use the service again. Thanks!

Very interesting problem. I'm a retired industrial E/I computer systems trouble shooter. I've seen some very strange things happen.
Sometimes when troubleshooting, and you've done all of the smart things, it's time to try something stupid, like plugging the modem into a UPS.
I know, it makes no sense that an elecrical problem would only effect the modem when there are other devices plugged in that are not effected, but that's what I would try next.
ACCIDENT, n. An inevitable occurrence due to the action of immutable
natural laws.
