My experience (with an ISP that explicitly allows multi-connects) has been that wish static IP's, as soon as the second modem is authenticated, both drop because of protocol violations connected with having duplicated IP's...
With the same ISP, when we switched to dynamic IP's, everything started working as it's supposed to...
Best wishes from Riley.
