Is CM1200 a good modem to use with Velop Mesh
I have Spectrum Internet. Last summer I replaced my Apple router with 8 individual Velop nodes and it worked great for a while but then the speeds kept falling and individual nodes kept disconnecting....
- Jan 30, 2020I was in the process of posting on Linksys. But I appreciate the information about the cable splitters and the coax cable is just the cable that Spectrum installed years ago so is there a way to tell what quality it is?

Not really. You could have an ISP tech come and check signals on the line.
Best way is to remove any splitters. Install new RG6 coax between the ISP service box and the modem.
Always test the modem operation with a wired PC directly connected to the modem to check speeds and operation. If this is all good here, then move on to adding a router or troubleshooting the external router connected between the modem and PC.
Good Luck.
