I just switched and upgraded from a DW7000 modem to a HN7000s because i needed better speeds. Apparently i could only get the speeds i wanted by changing modems.
Since changing the modem every connection on my network freezes whenever a file is being downloaded (Average size is 5MB)
The other machines on my network browse through squid. I only changed the IPs after switching modems but none of the other configurations.

Im starting to think that my new modem is faulty. Any ideas ? Question Question

Does the new modem have a firewall activated?

My DW7000 never had a firewall but I believe you can have one depending on your plan. Other than that I have had 2 faulty DW7000's and they just didn't work so I believe it to be a network problem.

Sounds more like the old grounding problem.  Make sure the transmitter is still grounded on the dish.
