class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_My_Modem_Keep_Resetting_Itself\"><\/span>Why Does My Modem Keep Resetting Itself?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Possible Causes of Modem Resets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Overheating<\/strong>: One of the most common reasons for modem resets is overheating. Modems generate heat when they&#8217;re in use, and if they&#8217;re not properly ventilated, this heat can build up and cause the modem to reset itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Firmware issues<\/strong>: Another potential cause of modem resets is <strong>outdated, faulty, or corrupted firmware<\/strong>. Firmware is the software that runs on your modem, and if it&#8217;s not up-to-date or functioning properly, it can cause your modem to reset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power surges<\/strong>: Power surges can also cause modem resets. If your home experiences a power surge, it can cause your modem to reset itself in an effort to protect itself from damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Network congestion<\/strong>: If your home network is experiencing high levels of congestion, it can cause your modem to reset itself. This is because the modem is working hard to process a large amount of data, and if it becomes overwhelmed, it will reset itself to protect itself from damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hardware issues<\/strong>: Finally, hardware issues can also cause modem resets. If your modem is experiencing hardware failure, it may reset itself in an effort to protect itself from damage. This may be due to a hardware problem associated with a physical drop of the modem, water damage, or normal wear and tear of the hardware.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interference from other devices<\/strong>: The other cause of a modem resetting itself can be interference from other devices especially if the modem has a router combo. It is common for devices such as microwaves, baby monitors, or smartphones to interfere with the workings of the modem router causing a reset.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixing_Modem_Resets\"><\/span>Fixing Modem Resets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Ensure proper ventilation<\/strong>: To prevent overheating, make sure your modem is properly ventilated.
