My WAN interface keeps going down

My WAN port seems really unstable. I am getting no errors from the cable modem and it appears the Omnia is resetting the WAN port and taking the link down. How can I tell? I grabbed some log of an event happening:

Did you try to change your cable from modem to Omnia? It could be faulty.

Yes I did. I wouldn’t think there is a cable problem though, it just started happening spontaneously. I will keep pursuing that angle to be sure.

I am almost certain now it was an intermittent cable problem. Thanks!
