Technician was here at 10 am
Installation went great.
I commented to tech that modem felt really hot.
I've had to unplug modem twice due to overheating. Even after putting a fan blowing on it.
So it's now 9pm I have no connection keeps failing registration. 22.3.24 move not allowed. They want to charge me shipping for a device I've only had for 8hrs. Not inspiring alot of confidence.

I wanted to let you know in the event we send out a new modem, it is normal for connection to be somewhat intermittent during the first 24 hours after installation and modem hook up. It is usually less time than this but can last this long as the modem is downloading firmware and various updates. Leaving it plugged in is very important. The state code you provided normally happens when registration or a firmware update was interrupted by being powdered down or unplugged from the IFL cable. I know in this case you said the modem overheated so you unplugged it which makes sense. These modems can run pretty hot but were there any other indications of overheating besides being hot to the touch? Did you observe any lights blinking or illumination before you unplugged it? -Damian
There was a warning on sysconctr site
And red power indicator there was hot plastic smell coming from modem. I even put a fan blowing on it still did it again later
