Router Dropping Internet Connection
I just updated my modem from spectrum and now I cant keep a connection. I have rest my router but again when I stop for the evening or if I leave my internet goes down.Help
Why does not Netgear hav...
- On an asymmetrical link, where the upload rate is a fraction of the download rate it’s possible to choke the network with upload data. So for example with a large TCP download where packets are acknowledged by the receiving computer then there can be a corresponding high upload of data, and if the upload rate limit is significantly lower that the download rate limit then the Internet connection can grind to a halt. The first few paragraphs of this .pdf might explain better than I can; http://www.sigcomm.org/sites/default/files/ccr/papers/2012/January/2096149-2096158.pdf
I have the same modem from Spectrum, a Technicolor make. That 'T' in the middle of the model number is for eMTA, a Telephone modem. I've had some problems with it dropping Internet connections at first. Called Spectrum and complained and a tech was sent. Found a problem with my line and it was too high in voltage. Installed a transformer/filter and have not had a problem since.
Might want to contact Spectrum. The Phone agent COULD NOT see a problem though, but agreed to send a tech out. Give that a try and see what happens. Had an Arris TG1672G before this one. It has the Puma 6 chipset so I wanted it replaced. My 'feel' of the Internet immediately felt faster with this modem (it is not a router).
My connection has been stable since the installation of that device where the line comes into the house to be split out to TV and Internet.
Thank you! I have a tech coming out to look at the system.
