CAX80 with Xfinity wifi texting failing
I've been dealing with this problem for the longest time about a year now and now I'm back on the forums trying to figure this out. I've actually ran across the same problem you are experiencing when...
problem is now solved with the custom firmware provided from Netgear support. you can play with all the settings you want but you will never fix these bugs with their latest firmware that is posted on their site. it's not the internet provider, its not your phone or laptop, not the cables being used, or the setting configuration used in the modem but their latest firmware itself version 2.1.5.2.
that's funny. I initially wrote this as a reply to someone on here with the MMS issue on this router but it seems as it transferred into my own entire page here.
my signal is fine and strong throughout the entire house including from outside but thank you for the suggestion.
I agree it is odd and is strange that this modem does that.
Don't have any problems with sending a simple messaged text messages but when i'm sending an image over when I'm connected on the 5GHz network it fails and doesn't send on the phone. This also includes uploading and sending small images or files over on the computer on the 5GHz.
This problem only occurs on the 5GHz network and on the 2.4GHz network it is working fine.
I like this idea but it didn't work for me. tried uploading 2mb pdf document and it said upload failed.
switched over to the other network 2.4GHz and it worked.
so what I tried was uploading the PDF for work on their site through my iPhone. it would upload the file entirely which appears to be loaded on there but when I hit submit to complete the transfer it would say that it failed. this also occurs when I try this on the computer on the 5Ghz connection for like other websites with a like I can call it a two step process. upload the file and then hit submit resulting a failed to send.
looks like the PDF went through but if I try upload and send on other places it doesn't work.
are you thinking it's a channel thing?
