cm700 and slow upload speeds
subscribed to Mediacom for 200 Mb service (200 download and 20 upload) I work from home so I need a stable connection. Last Friday my upload basically quit with the download stayed at about 200 Mb....
- Finally broke down and installed a new router last Sunday. Internet has been steady ever since. Orbi was only 7 months old.
Connect a wired PC to the back of the modem. Power OFF the modem for 30 seconds, then back On. Speed test with the wired PC to check speeds.
So today during my lunch hour I connected my laptop to the CM700 modem and ran the testmynet with 5 minute intervals. Upload was very consistant at ~28Mb, almost a straightline.
So I'm back to Modem to Orbi and Orbi to (1) work VPN (2) switch and (3) MOCA Dongal. We'll see how the afternoon goes.
Thanks,
Jan 17, 2020 I connected my laptop directly to the CM700 last night and ran the testmynet test on 5 minute increments. THis morning, the upload speeds were all very consistent at ~20 to 25 Mb all thru the night. Yet, when I connect my Orby RBR50 and RBS50, my wireless upoad speeds randomly drop out?
THanks,

Sounds like a problem with the Orbi.
I would post about this over in the Orbi AC forum:

Good Luck.

The automatic firmware update stated that the firmware was up to date.
I just did a manual update to 2.5.1.8
appears to be running quite well at the moment. I'll what the day brings.
