Choppy Internet connection (N450)
Good morning, For the past four days, I've been experiencing unsteady Internet connection. A few noticable things are that other family members occasionally have trouble printing from the wireles...
Hi there, I am having the exact same issue :/
I could have copied and pasted your post for my own. N450, isp is TWC and it started happening 4-5 days ago. Speeds are inconsistent and there is some freezing happening while gaming and on speedtest.net
I contacted TWC and they said the exact same thing that they told you, everything looked good on their end. They sent a firmware update to my N450 and my signal strenght as pertaining to the dB in my lines are rated as good. I don't know what else I can try and this is pretty infuriating.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
A tech savvy friend of mine came over last night, and pointed out that the current firmware version stated on the router login page is 3.01.06; but Netgear's website says it should be 1.00.05 for TWC (this was last updated only about 20 minutes, same information as last night).
