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

Rino744043,
Thank you for providing that info as well as your information. We are experiencing internal issues preventing me from sending out a new modem on this platform. This does mean you will need to call our support line and have one sent out to you. I am, however, able waive the fee for you in full. Just make sure you post here again to let me know one has been sent out and I will process the fee waive. I apologize for the inconvenience. -Damian
