C7000v2, other network interference
I am a Spectrum customer. I have noticed drastic reduction in speed when other networks appear on my WI-FI Settings page. When they drop off, speed/programming resumes. These intermittent “other” networks are all Spectrum: SpectrumTest-C3, SpectrumSetip-2F, SpectrumSetup-A9, SpectrumSetup-70, etc. Since I am using my own NETGEAR modem, Spectrum can’t help me. They say I need to program my router to only accept certain known network. How do I do this? Any ideas?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
There is no router that can be programmed to accept "known network" configurations.

Thanks, I’ll see what I can do.
