Internet intermittent drop outs and now speed
I commented on a post here about internet intermittent drop outs. Corresponding back to response, I realized my modem was no longer considered certified by cox. I bought a new modem Netgear CM500. Next morning, I was still getting drop outs. Called tech support. Tech came and replaced a part outside house and line from pole to house. Next morning, still getting drop outs. Call tech support. Tech tells me my internet plan was 50Mps was a thing of the past and if I upgraded to 300Mps all my problems would be solved. Sure upgrade. The internet speed decreased when I upgraded. My wifi signal went from 50Mps to 30 Mps. Scheduled tech visit. Tech that was sent to my house was not very helpful. Walked in and said saw my equipment and immediately said I couldn't get 300 Mps. My CM500 and Linksys E2500 are both rated for that. I didn't argue the point. I ordered a new and improved router to see if this will help with my problem. This comes on Monday. This morning, I downloaded inSSIDer Plus to check out my wifi. I'm just curious as to why it says I have a Lynksis 24115 connected data rate of 150Mps. Shouldn't that say 300 Mps. I just want my internet not to be dropping out. Getting the speed I'm paying for would be a bonus.
