CM1000 modem with WiFi 6 routers
Purchased a TP Links AX6000 and the modem starting having issue. Called cable company and they denied issue. Logged is as said and it did reflect some potential cable issues. However in an attempt...
I personally would avoid anything TP-Link.
I recommend you try this, get on amazon and find a NG model RAX router, try a RAX80. Amazon has good return policies and usually you have 30 days to try something out. Give a RAX a try with your CM1000. Be sure the modem signals are Good. Besure to use CAT6 LAN cabling between the modem and router and router to wired devices. I would first test the RAX out with what ever FW was loaded on it first, or you can load latest FW. Try something out and see how it goes.
Another consideration is that do you need AX at this time? Can you fully take advantage of AX? Would a AC class router suffice as well?
WOW worse than ever. Speed tested prior to taking the old router off 248 and checked tightness of all cable connections.
Disconnected the old router and connected this computer directly to the modem to get the error log (attached). I also looked at the cable connection and is says good and have the other screen I don't know what to do with it. (2nd attachement).
Shut everything down. Connected the RAX80 with the new cable. The modem would come up and almost as soon as the router was fully started the modem would crash out with all lights going amber then off and start flashing green as they restarted. Restarted everything three times but couldn't get it up and running. Put the old router back in place and immediately all is working well.
