Possible Wrong Firmware Pushed by Xfinity?
I own a Netgear Nighthawk C7800 modem/router. I've had wifi connectivity issues for several days now with actual internet drops intermittently anywhere from an hour apart to a few every couple of min...
Incidentally, I'm wondering if any of you have run into the issue of going over XFinity's arbitrary 1.2TB data limit, and how you mitigated your data usage. I would rather not pay an extra $30 per month for unlimited data (what a money grab!). I connect 4-6 devices to my home wireless network, and we stream Netflix, HBO etc via Xbox, everyday. I can't imagine that's what's putting us over the top on data usage (last month 1.8TB! Yikes!) ... or maybe it is. I just downloaded wireshark so I can monitor and analyze my network data usage by device.
Thanks.
I dunno. You can pay extra for their unlimited plan. I never even come close.
- You can save on xfinity data usage by using your unlimited phone data be used in hotspot mode.
- Yeah but they throttle that until it's almost unusable.
