Do not run coax through this unit!!

I owned the model BN1500M2 APC Backup for about 5 years and had the coax ran through the backup for my network. For 5 years, everything worked fine with that backup and with my network and all connected devices. Three weeks ago, that backup died. The battery faulted and needed replaced. I ordered this backup to replace that old unit. I plugged all of the same devices into this new unit that were in the previous one. The modem, router, pc, and the coax lines. My network experienced a wide range of issues, from poor connectivity to download speeds maxing out at about 5% of what I previously got (50mb/s vs 1200mb/s). I didn't even think that the backup could be the root cause to this. I called my ISP out to diagnose and they found that there was a very large amount of voltage getting into the coax line. This backup was the cause. I am very disappointed by this product. Especially since I had such a great experience with my previous APC backup. This is was not expected at all. Buy the other model, this one is not ready for consumers.

Are these the newer batch of units with upgraded firmware/hardware from factory that were re-introduced after the recall?
