C6900 periodic poor download/upload speeds
I have been having issues with download/upload speeds for a number of weeks. When I do the speed test, the numbers are all over the place. I had a Comcast tech out week before last. I was told he ...
The C6900 is a cable modem/router.
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Cable Modems & Routers
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
Thank you for the reply and pointing out I posted in the wrong forum. I am sorry about that. I don't normally make that kind of mistake.
I have consulted the Netgear site for solutions. They offer nothing related to troubleshooting other than referring folks to their ISP.
I've also found a couple of other posts regarding this same issue, but it's not very clear to me, that the issue is related to the line of modem/router.

Easily done, especially given the messy nature of this place.
I just wanted to point you in the direction of messages that might cover your hardware.
I appreciate the help. I looks like my thread has been moved. Hopefully, Ill get some feedback.
I'm just about done getting the new modem/router set up. I have a few things that require a fixed IP. So, this gave me an opportunity to put them all next to each other.
I am still getting these strange errors, even on the new modem/router. It's funny, they have a date of 1970-01-01. It's bugging me and I hope someone will chime in.
