Packet Loss with CM1200
So I've been getting really bad packet loss, after using ping plotter from my PC to trace the issue, I believe I've narrowed it down to the CM1200 modem. This is what my setup looks like.. modem...
Can I get those from the modem login? or would that be the router? I didn't see any of that info browsing the modem login
Also,
Is it possible to have my PC direct connected into the modem? Essentially bypass the router altogether while still keeping our wifi?
Need to scroll a little more to the right. The ofdm channels list errors but to the right is the uncorrected errors.
If you haven't, I'd contact your isp as your line powers vary to much. There shouldn't be that much variation.
Well your options are:
1. Try a different modem. Potentially could be the modem. Stranger things have happened.
2. have you ISP check the line. Tell them your getting a lot of packet drops and your signal strength varies to much. many first line ISP support people aren't going to understand this but if you get someone that knows a bit more, they'll understand.
Out of curiousity, do you know if it's possible to plug more than 1 device into this modem? When I attempt to plug my PC into the modem with the router, my PC doesn't get internet access
- Only is your ISP supplies you with more than one ip address. Most don't for consumers. You can use link aggregation if your router has that option.
- For most consumers the cm1000 with a single gigabit port is more than enough. The consumer with a router that supports wan side link aggregation, the cm1100 is perfect. The 4 port cm1200 is more aimed at business ip addresses or the rare ISP that supplies multiple ip addresses AND enables that feature in the modem.
- Hmm ok still a bit confusing.
It appears the cm1200 does support link aggregation. Would I set that up through logging into the modem?
Thank you!! - But does your router support wan aggregation?
- Good question, let me look into that!
NG R7960P and R8000P and Orbi RBK852 are ones that support WAN LAG.
RAX200 as well.
