Re: Speedstream 5360 DSL modem died, now I have a headache!
I cross posted my reply to comp.dcom.xdsl, which may be a better group to discuss your issue.
Since your new modem/router is connecting solidly, it does sound like your old modem did fail. One thing you could check with the old modem is to see if the power supply is bad. If you could get another power supply of the same type, try it and see if it maintains sync.
If that doesn't work, the next thing I would try is to configure the Actiontec router like your Linksys was. If that doesn't work, then see if you can see about flashing the Actiontec if there is updated firmware. Next, you could try to bridge the Actiontec and make the Linksys work. If that fails, then you should see about flashing the firmware on the Linksys and try again with the Actiontec bridged.
If none of that works, then see about buying another modem on Ebay.
