I had comcast send out a tech. We replaced teh Cable comming into my unit and still have issues. The problem here is with Netgear. And support is AWEFUL. Had to call multiple times and was told i would get a call back from higher level support and nothing.
I've never seen anything like this before and i've ALWAYS used netgear routers. Very disapointed.
for whatever its worth, the tech told me that he saw "FM noise", he was forign so his accent was a bit strong and i count exactly understand but he sure said noise and that the issue lies with teh unit.
what are the chances of having 2 bad systems? Im going to best buy to return this unit and get a 3rd... fingers crossed.
just to put my concerns to rest i went back to bestbuy and bought another CAX80... same issue.
NO IDEA what is going on here. Comcast is 100% good from teh tap to my home teh problem is with teh router, perhaps there is a setting that needs to altered. Im exhausted with this.
What is the brand and model# of these wifi adapters in the computers your using?
Have the drivers for these wifi adapters been updated?
Wondering if there is a problem between the CAX wifi and your wifi adapters.
I only have apple products.
2017 imac, and 2017 macbook pro all running latest macOS
I did have the issue on a windows 10 computer as well.
What is the brand and model of the wifi adapter on the Windows PC?
Ok. I guess I should try my CAX80 in router mode and see if my Mac Book Pro 2018 sees same thing.
What are the current wifi settings set for on the CAX?
Smart Connect enabled or disabled?
Channels being used?
WMM enabled or disabled?
Any Implicit Beamforming and MIMO enabled or disabled?
