How to get COX to fix the low upstream power being provided to my address.
How to get COX to address low upstream power being supplied to modem.
I recently used the Cox upgrade your internet deal online to go from 150/10 to 960/35 gigablast.
thinking it was a good deal I ordered it. Immediately my connection got erratic and the speeds dropped back down to the Kbps instead of MBs.
Cox advised that it may be my modem. Checked it according to arris the power is supposed to be 45-51 on the upstream mine is 41-42.
contacted Cox they were zero help other then to say hey rent our modem and the issue may be resolved. Speeds now go up and down constantly.
I have a technician coming out sometime in a week or two. All I need them to do is to fix the power issue. Which according to arris will fix the stability and speed issues. I have never seen above 169mpbs since I upgraded. On prior service was a steady 135-164mpbs. I am paying more for less now. Any ideas?
setup is cable from wall into SB8200 3.1 modem then to synology rt2600. All machines either gigabit linked switches with cat5e and Cat6 . Wireless even has the same issues with speed.
