What are these TPLinks? Wifi media bridges or Power Line adapters?
LAN cable connections is recommended for best gaming performances.

Power line adapters. I’m not able to run LAN cables because I’m renting.

If you remove these power lines, does the modem maintain it's settings?
- cbowen72Jan 17, 2020AspirantWell here’s the deal. I bought the router/modem combo back in September. I originally hooked up a tp-link and d-link for my tv which helps to stream sports games. I also personalized my router. Gave it a WiFi name and my own password. Set it up to have a static IP and such. It did go out a few times and I had to do it all over again. Had to plug my laptop with a CAT5 into the router to log in to get it going again. When I added the 3rd PlayStation (3 kids, 3 PlayStations Lol) it just wont stay on so yes now it’s staying on with the PlayStations running on WiFi and not the power lines. I have 1 PlayStation directly connected to the Router, 2 running on WiFi and the D-link still connected for my sports games otherwise there’s too much lag. So it’s either that 3rd PlayStation was just too much for it to handle, or it resets when I personalize it or it could have a conflict with my ISP cause after I bought I realized it wasn’t on the “approved” list from Spectrum. Confused? Yeah me too Lol 😆

Why are you using a C series modem for gaming when you should be using a R or XR series router which would be more beneficial for your gaming needs?
I'd be using a CM series modem and then connect up a R7800 or XR500.
