Frequent short slowdowns and disconnects
Hi everyone, I turn to you in desperate times... Since 2 months the internet connection keeps breaking up a few times per day for a few minutes at a time. It started off as a minor issue, but now st...
thought I put this out here for someone else to find. The root of my issues was traced back all the way to a single machine on the network. It's Windows install formatted, but no luck.
Turned out the cable was the issue. Somehow there was some disturbances or shorting going on inside this cable which happened when the pc was on and transmitting data. After replacing, problem seem te be resolved for now. Thanks plemans for thinking along.
I suggest putting the sagemcom back in router mode (disable its wifi).
Then run the orbi in access point mode.
See if that stays stable.
I don't' have a very high opinion of ISP's supplied gateways.
Yeah, I was thinking about doing this, but especially because I share your opinion on the ISP provided equipment and the fact it has been working flawlessly for over 2 years now leads me to believe that the issue lays elsewhere. I will try and rule this out whenever I find time to do all the necessary configuration to the ISP modem...
Thanks for your response!
Its always a challenge with ISP equipment because they make changes in the background or to firmware since they control it.
But good luck!
