XR1000 the cable modem is scanning for a downstream channel.
All, A new issue has come up. I noticed last night that the internet was getting bogged down. Went and looked at the Netgear cable modem and the downstream light was blinking. I tried to reboot...
I keep putting in password for modem and nothing happens.
I tries edge, chrome and firefox. All say not secure. I even allowed and once i put in password nothing happens. The cable between modem and router is a cat6. The ethernet cable that comes with the XR1000 is a cat5e.
- One of the ports there is reading as only allowing 100Mbps, switch out the cable for the device that is having the issue and switch it with another, do the speeds improve?
I tried switching different cables. The only thing that works is rebooting both router and modem, butr it only works for a few minutes.
- If you try it in a different port does that make a difference? If you do the Device Manager table view after a reboot again does it show all link speeds at 1000?
I recommend that you change the cable between the XR and CM modem to CAT6A STP.
Factory reset the CM modem and setup from scratch and input a new PW for the modems web page.
