I have 1 1000w running on 220v and 600w running on 110v. Just unplugged the 600w and now my modem is up and running again. Any idea why? Should I be concerned about a fire starting from a wiring short or somethin like that?

its all wireless, am i correct? if so than they might be on the same frequency, this is the only thing i can think of other than electrical issues. if the 220 and 110 are on different breakers than it shouldnt be a problem. a 1000 watt light takes an average of 13 amps to start, and a 600 watt takes around 9 with the average breaker being 15 amps but it doesn't sound like you blew a breaker because it just started working again......

Yes ATT has a modem with built in wifi so its all wireless. Sucks cause everytime I wanna use my internet when lights are on I have to unplug my 600w. Hopefully I can find someone to trade me my lumatek 600w 110v for there 220v. Should I be worried about fire issues?

i wouldn't be worried about any fire issues unless you plug way to many things into the same circuit..... but im definatly sure thats your problem now, i used to have the same problem with my climate control, it has a wireless monitor and every time i would turn it on my wireless phone would start ringing lmao
