See this https://broadband.forum/mtnl-triband-broadband/13002-need-help-plzzz/

modem make is diff. but problem similar.

Switch to ethernet. USB is not meant for sustained data transfer.

You may keep the modem in vertical position so that it has enough ventilation. Please note that the modem has ventilation holes on either side, so keeping it vertical would be ideal for best heat dissipation and it wont hang in future.

sunshine12 : your problem may like in your system and may not have anything to do with modem or connectivity. Ensure you have no adware, malware, spyware etc in your system which may eat away your precious resources. Optimal use of RAM memory and correct allocation in p2p setup in upload/download settings as well as using mozila firefox would reduce your woes.

no adware, spyware........... currently installed Ubuntu
using firefox, and correct allocation in p2p

and this is happening not only when using torrent but when downloading from the other sites... like downloading alternate install cd of Ubuntu...

thanks.. anything I can do with the router settings or anything else.. It is annoying to reboot pc frequently

I’ve noticed that BSNL UtstarCom modems suffer from inherit heat problem.My UtstarCom UT WA3002G4 WIFI modem heated up to 85.c (burnt my finger a lil)I’ve crafted some heatsinks from leftover Aluminimus shards and tucked them over the Hot chips.Then i put an Computer case fan on it…and happy ever after!
