If its possible to get us the model name it would go a long way into 
fixing the problem...

You can try connecting the modem to the usb extension cable, also...if 
the cable have two usb plugs at the computer side try using both, also 
if you have a windows pc available some where to test,  as it could be 
the modem.

Also 2 bars on the signal are getting to unstable... being able to move 
the modem around a bit should help stabilizing the signal though.

  When working on a computer you have to know enough:
  To fake what you don't know.
  Google what you can't fake.
  How (and when) to 'motivate' the computer to do what Google won't tell.
