Thanks for the update. Some modems have status LED indicators on the front that can be useful. Others have zip, so you do not know if they are working or not without going into their setup and diagnostic configuration pages. My old modem has useful indicator LEDs. I have a new one that has a trash can shape that makes it difficult to position anywhere, and no useful indicators whatsoever, not even a power LED. It was designed by someone who would never actually consider using it.
