After how long does it go off? Do you have good signal coverage in your area? Does this happen while on EDGE or HSDPA?
To prevent my modem from going off during periods of inactivity(so that I can reach it on the same public IP away from home/office), I maintain a continuous ping to some URL/Public host. Sometimes my application fails to work and I want to reach while away, so I ensure that the modem doesn't become idle. You can tell a modem is idle by the intensity of the blue(3G) or green(EDGE) light. Low intensity denotes inactivity; bright/strong intensity means its active DL/Uplinking stuff.
To save on the scarce radio resource, mobile operators have an IDLE timer that deactivates an idle session.

I need to keep my MODEM on permanently as long as I have loaded it, but it keeps going off sometimes even in the middle of a download. How do I do this? * * *Kind regards,* * * *WAMBUGU Nick*
