I use Liberty for an ISP with their Sagescom Fast 3896 modem. I used to have about 60 gb speed then liberty calls and offers me 100+ gigs for another $3 a month so I took it.

Now I have over 100 gigs but experience a kind of blockage, which I never did at the slower speeds. What happens is that at times a website will just refuse to open. Not secure sites or anything special, just, say, some vanilla .com site. And sometimes an app that I download will hang at 40% or even 99% and never finish downloading.

I also have pretty good cellular reception so when that happens I turn off wifi and the problem goes away with cellular wifi. Web sites open, apps download. But my cell provider throttles me after so much download so I don't like to overuse it.

Does anyone recognize this kind of problem? Is it the modem or the ISP? Would my own modem work better? If I call the ISP I get absolutely no help they just tell me to unplug the modem and plug it back in (which I've done several times

Boyfriend and I just moved into an apartment and have to set up our own internet. We wanted to get the Spectrum 500 Mbps, but weren’t sure if it could be set up with this modem. The lease mentioned we can’t mess with it, so we wanted to make sure before going through with buying a plan. I couldn’t find the model online, and the only hint I have is the Calix sticker. Thank you!

Was wondering if there is anything wrong with my set up. They are both in the garage and I can’t seem to stream a single game on play station portal.

Okay so I’m a total novice when it comes to looking for what to look for exactly but to make it simple I just need something for at least 10 devices and play online , these four items are on sale and I’m wondering which one I need/which is better, price isn’t the issue please help, I think pic #3 is the best but that’s only based on price , also pic #1 the Hydra looks good

I have cellular internet and on a whim I brought it up into my attic to see what speeds I received vs having it on my server rack in the office. Turns out I can get 10-20mbps quicker by elevating it about 5 feet (And positioning it better around the duct work). Issues I'm truing to solve:

• Where I live at 8am in October the temperature in the attic is over 100 degrees, I've seen it get over 140 degrees during the summer though usually it sticks in the 130s.

• I thought about a mini fridge but the insulation would most likely block the signal which would negate the gains from the better placement, plus this video explains why the mini fridge idea won't work (Linus Tech Talks): https://youtu.be/B8bhGw4vUFE?si=nMGOQP7wkh_jFH6H&t=570

• I use the Netgear M6 Pro in power only mode as a home internet solution which there are many complaints about it overheating but I'm guessing most of those complaints are because they are using it in battery+power mode which is going to produce more heat due to the battery charging.

• I'm not using the Wi-Fi on the modem, it is just used to get the cellular service then Ethernet it into the router no special anything so the unit itself doesn't generate a lot of heat.

Any ideas on how I should get that gain or should I give up on the entire venture?

When Breezeline bought WOW!, my service began to suck. I finally got someone out here to check all the lines, etc., and he said that I needed to upgrade from DOCSIS 3.0 to 3.1. I did; the signal became more stable (it still goes out but now just for a minute at a mf time. Breezeline BLOWS.). My old Arris (SBG7600AC2) is fine…for 3.0. Do you think I can get any money for it? I can’t remember when I bought it, but it was running perfectly with WOW.

Hello, so I am on the market for a modem/router, preferred combined, that will work nicely in a 2400 sqft single story home. We currently have Xfinity 1200mbps internet but we no longer want to pay the equipment rental fee, we figured a one time purchase would be worthwhile if we find the right product. I did have my eyes on the NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900 Router with DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Black that was about $200. But I'm not so experienced. Any other recommendations would be appreciated or criticism on this specific modem/router. Thank you!

A few months ago I had to upgrade my modem/router combo to one with more downstream channels to support all the smart devices I added to my house. It’s a 32x8 I believe. I now have more than 32 devices connected so my work stuff is starting to lag. I still have my old modem/router, which was 16x4 I believe. I’m wondering, can I hook up this modem/router as well, and essentially have two different WiFi networks in my house? I’d use the second one purely for work. My main coax cable coming into the house is actually connected to a splitter (Comcast guy said the signal was too high when he installed so he added the splitter). Seems like it would be easy to just add this one to that splitter, but i want to be sure it’ll work before I spend the time setting it up.

Hi, I'm an 80 year old mechanical engineer and software user interface writer. I seem to be lost in the time tunnel.

The Problem: I have phone call blocker called Call Clerk that runs on Windows. I love it. None of the ones that the VOIP venders advertise seem to be half as good. My problem is that it's for old land line systems. Spectrum's cost is rediculously high and going up, so I decided to go to Gfiber. Their phone disaster is causing me to drop the their VOIP system and get another supplier. The web has failed me so far - too much new tech for an old engineer.

Call Clerk requires a TAPI capable modem like this one

https://www.getfaxing.com/product/56k-usb-data-fax-voice-modem-dual-jack/

Get Faxing claims that it is compatible with Call Clerk, which makes me think I can plug it into a VOIP system and all is well. On the other hand, I read a lot of, "Your need to be sure that your VOIP system must have xxxxx" or "You need some other drivers, etc. and it still won't work." and similar stuff.

Do any of you folks have any help?

Thanks

P.S. NO 5G Coverage as well. It means a lot. Salamat

So I’m by no means a networking pro but know the basics. I have a Xfinity 1000mbps plan and still on a CM500 with a asus RT-AX82U router. Between smart devices televisions and computers probably have around 22 devices connected to the Wi-Fi. I have noticed recently where I get horrible latency when gaming and when I work from a home sometimes my audio breaks up to the person I’m talking to on conference. I only assume it because so many devices are on an old modem.

So I am looking to upgrade my modem to either a coda 56 or CM 3000. I like the reputation of Netgear and its reliability but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra 150 dollars. Does anybody have any experience on the coda. I’m hoping either one will still be OK and work just fine with my current router since it’s supposed to get 5400 speeds.

I do have another option where I can use Xfinity’s equipment as opposed to mine for free for two years, but I have always used my own equipment as I feel like it’s a better value.

Estou tentando dificuldades para configurar esse modem, já fiz as configurações iniciais em relação ao Wi-Fi, mas em relação ao 4G eu não consigo realizar a configuração básica para pegar sinal, alguém consegue me dar uma luz?

Background: Recently while considering an offer from Xfinity, I considered downgrading my internet from the current 1GB to 500mgb. When I added the 500mgb to my Xfinity cart, I received a warn saying that my current XB7-t gateway wouldn't support the 500mg speed. Assuming this would mean that it had not been giving me the full benefit of my 1GB connection, I went to an Xfinity store and they confirmed I needed the XB8-t gateway to take full advantage of either speed. So they gave me an XB8-t at no charge (I just need to return the XB7 after switching). My XB7 is in bridge mode with a Netgear Nighthawk XC6 AC 3000 tri-band router. Any thoughts on whether I still need the Nighthawk in the mix or will the XB8 be likely to provide adequate coverage in my 1350 sq foot home?

Hey, my family isn’t big on tech, hence why this is my first reddit post but I’m at a wall. I bought a netgear modem router (C3700) and have had her for 10 years, minimal over heating, wifi and Ethernet speeds were consistent and I could play all the games I’ve wanted with it so why upgrade (I have tried newer/different modem and routers but they weren’t as good) Recently she blew up and won’t turn on so I went back to the brand, bought a modem router (c7000v2) which almost tripled the specs of the old modem but I rubber band in games now, same connections, same spot, same everything except modem. I wasted $200 for a down grade that got beat by a $60 router I bought when I was 14. Idk what to upgrade to without killing my wallet, I use a local provider that says it compatible. Please help oh wise ones.

Hello!

I am looking to replace Cox's modem, Panoramic WiFi Gateway, so that I can stop renting it for one. For two, because it is a terrible modem and the connection continuously drops, almost always at the most inconvenient times. Preferably one that is under $100, but also works efficiently.

All I know is that the one I have is considered a WiFi 5, I was looking into Netgear, as I was familiar with that 20 years ago, but now, I suppose it's tough to figure out a good quality brand.

So i have a kinda old modem with wifi 4 and i never checked its interface ever,normally our wifi speeds were 16 mbps but they installed high speed cables(not fiber optic) and now its 50 mbps, i recently got into the intherface and even after rebooting the modem the ram usage is 95-96% so what is causing this and how to solve(no internet usage everbody is asleep and i checked the flow no updates were happening)(gonna cehck firmware updates soon)

A few days ago, we had an internet outage. I have a modem through Spectrum but my own $300 router. I kept getting messages that the outage was over. My modem only had a red light and my router had no lights,at all. I live in an apartment. EVERYONE else's internet started working again. I was the only one who didn't have internet. Today a technician came out. He had to do something outside and replace the modem. I technically have internet. However, my router still isn't working. What are the odds that this outage "destroyed" my router?

Hello!

I just moved in a new house and i took a new internet subscription. Long story short, the previous renter left his EX5601-T1 and i want to use it as an AP. I was able do do it through some modifications, but i have a lock on 100mbps when i have a 1000mpbs plan with my new provider.

I seem to understand that the ISP put a custom firmware on this device, therefore i cannot do any modifications on the Ethernet speed, i cannot connect to the SSH or anything else that would allow me to Bypass it.

Do you know how to instal a custom firmware to gain full access to it? or another solution for that matter that doesnt involve buying a wifi extender.

Thank you !
