I have called support a few times and explained my issue and unfortunately the response every time has been an attempt to sell me a new modem. I am highly dubious of this diagnosis considering the information I am seeing above. I have asked for a tech a few times and while the Reps did not outright refuse a visit they certainly did not want to send someone. I guess my question is does this really look like my router is the issue or do I just need to flat out demand a technician.

    Hello, can you please make sure all cables are tightly secured and free of damage? This includes any splitters or amplifiers you may have in the home as well. We'd be glad to send out a service technician to investigate this further. If this interests you, please reach out to us at cox.help@cox.com, Facebook, or Twitter. -Kevin M.
