Using a Relative's Westel 7500 DSL Modem/Router
Hi,
Lately I have been having intermittent issues with my internet connection using a Westel 7500 DSL modem/router. Note: I am not using WiFi (I use CAT5 cable) and only one computer at a time. I tried another computer, but I still have the same problem. I have rebooted my modem via turning off the power for a couple minutes, then turning it back on. Note: I never performed a "reset" to factory settings. The modem/router I have was issued to me by my ISP. My cousin has the exact same modem/router which he gave to me before going over seas. This modem/router was issued to him by the same ISP I have. The ISP never requested his modem/router to be returned when he discontinued his internet service!! Is it possible for me to use his modem as a test to see if my intermittent issue is my modem? I ask because I assume my ISP has a "signature" of my modem "logged". In other words, if I am using another that wasn't issued to me, would it "raise a flag"? Thank You in advance, John |
