Ever since the modem for our phone got struck by lightning, we have been using the other modem we had. It is TERRIBLE at consistent data retrieval. I am glad it works at all, but it’s annoying when I need to talk on the phone and do work online at the same time. Error page after error page pop up all the time. I have been switching the cables back and forth so that when I don’t HAVE to be on the phone, I can get consistent internet access, but this is starting to get annoying. I wish they made some kind of mock HDMI switch just for this type of situation. Then I could cut off one side of the service while the other stays on. I guess it would be more like the old style cable switches that slide from side to side in order to give cable versus the antenna. Anyone know of a switch like that?
