You might have a bad phone cord connection to your modem, or your phone cord may be plugged into the wrong jack. The phone cord
should be plugged into the
jack on the modem and into the wall phone jack. Use the phone cord included in your modem's box if
possible.
Possible solution:
You may have devices between the modem and the phone jack. There should be no line splitters, fax machines, or other devices
between the modem and the wall jack.
