CM1000v2 modem is extremely slow and nowhere near the speeds of my CM500.

CM1000v2 modem is extremely slow and nowhere near the speeds of my CM500.

Hi all. My ISP is Spectrum and they sent their own modem recently to replace my CM500 because it's going to be outdated soon. I wanted to stick with my own equipment so I had recently purchased a CM1000v2 modem and set it up to replace my CM500. My rated speeds that I pay for are 350 download and 30 upload. With my CM500, I would consistently get around 330-350 down and 25 up. I should add that I also connect through the Netgear R6400 (AC 1750) router as well with the latest stock firmware. I would get the same speeds regardless of being wired via ethernet to the router or modem. With the new CM1000v2, I get a maximum download of 70 and an upload of 5. It usually fluctuates around 50 down and 4.5 up. This still happens even if I run a speed test wired directly into the modem. Spectrum was no help and said they noticed no issues. My coax is fairly new and also has a PoE filter to reduce the noise. I don't believe the connection has a splitter as it goes into a box with the neighbors right outside my building. Speed tests show slow speeds on multiple desktops running Windows 10 as well as two Android phones. Below I will drop info from the modem page.

 

TL;DR, switching from CM500 to CM1000v2 dropped my download from 350 to about 50 and upload from 25 to about 5. I have tried hard resetting and Spectrum says it provisioned perfectly with no issues. I ran a speed test for my CM500 before I made the switch to compare and the lowered speeds were instantaneous after setting up the new modem. Help.

Re: CM1000v2 modem is extremely slow and nowhere near the speeds of my CM500.

The head engineer at Spectrum had to look into my issue. They said it was something they haven't seen before and had to go into the backend and forcefully manipulate everything since their service wasn't talking to my modem properly despite being properly provisioned. I am now getting my speeds with the modem and it seems to be working fine.

Re: CM1000v2 modem is extremely slow and nowhere near the speeds of my CM500.

I rebooted my modem and connected my router. This is the log from doing that:

Re: CM1000v2 modem is extremely slow and nowhere near the speeds of my CM500.

Check the speeds at the modem with out the NG router connected.

 

Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box. 
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem. 
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

Hi FURRYe38,

 

Everything in your comment is already mentioned as troubleshooting steps I have done in the original post.
