They are so full of bugs that I'm wondering why you don't notice them crawling on your table. And you even prove that yourself with the statements above ("sometimes it keeps on failing and the only solution is to power cycle the modem"). If putting the 2846I into the trashbin is not an option, I would strongly suggest you check if there is a firmware update available. Sorry for the bad tone in my message, but I've been bitten by Zyxel bugs way too many times. And I've tried them all: Elite's, Omni's, Prestiges....
