Re: Home Internet Goes Out Every Couple of Hours
@LPD155 That was an interesting concept-- my increasing problems the past month after my gateway working great the first month or two pretty much correlates to the warmer weather. I happened to have a 4" computer cooling fan on hand and set it up under the gateway, and it has made a difference, but is not a solution. My ~1 Mbps download during the day is up to ~3-4 Mbps -- a far cry from the ~75-100+ Mbps I was getting. I think my main problem is either related to my home wifi network now connected viaethernet or the fact that I got a primary and a secondary "good" connection for a few months, but since the problems started, it's a "Very Good" Primary signal and NO secondary signal no matter what I seem to try. I just dumped Comcast, too. I'm about to sign up with Centurylink. Anyway, thanks for the "hot tip"-- can't believe I didn't think of that sooner myself.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Goes Out Every Couple of Hours
I signed up about 2 months ago ($60/mo, just missed the $50 price)and ran the 5G gateway side by side with my Comcast and finally decided last week to cancel my 19+ year Comcast service. This week my speeds have gone to $hit and I notice the gateway is not connecting to the secondary signal anymore, just a slow B12 band no matter how much I restart. I just read in another thread someone who is going through something similar said he needs to reboot his gateway from the app every few days after removing the ethernet cable to his existing router, then once it reboots, he can plug ethernetback in. Last week when I switched over,I plugged in my existing router permanently via ethernet instead of just testing it for short periods. Note that I have NOT yet tried this type of reboot, I literally just read this in another thread and then I saw this thread. I am curious if the others here experiencing the slow downs are also plugging in a router of sorts to the gateway via ethernetand wanted to pass this on in case it's a workaround of sorts.2Visto0likes0Comentarios
