Phone your tel company and ask them to check your phone line for faults.Then check your leads or replace them.Uninstall the modem and reinstall it through the disc that came with it.

Throw it away or send it to Motorola they get very HOT and this causes failure its common in routers and modems

Most likely your incoming cable signal is weak. If you call your cable company, the on call support tech can sometimes resolve the issue from their end.

If not they can send a technician to your house to measure the signal strength. The tech should first measure the signal strength before it comes into your residence and then again at the input to your cable modem.

The surfboard also has an internal web interface that provides a good deal of information relating to your signal strength and other diagnostic information.

I'm not sure about yours, but the internal ip address of my surfboard web interface is 192.168.100.1

Regardless though, you still need to get your ISP involved to resolve the issue.

The easiest way is to unplug it, wait for a few seconds, then plug it back in again.

The SB4200 Modem according to the Motorola website does NOT have wireless capabilities. In fact not a lot of cable modems do have wireless built in to them.

That is the modem to which you refered and it does not have wireless. In order to connect your Wii wirelessly you would need to purchase a WIRELESS ROUTER, which most major stores carry varios brands such as Linksys or Netgear.

open the internet explorer on the addresss bar put 192.168.100.1 then go to hack add on file adress file d11_m_speedtierextreme2_c01.cm
then on ip server file put 68.87.68.35 the press change id then unplug the modem then plug it back the speed should be back

The only time you need software for a Motorola SB4200 is if you are using USB. If you use ethernet then it is simply plug and play, no drivers required.

The USB Drivers are here.

It could be your modem HFC MAC ID is not register with your local cable tv company. You may need to call your cable provider to register your cable modem on their networks.
