Resolving Host and Slow Speed
I have the preferred internet service, but have been having really bad internet lately and today has been the worst. 1st. When browsing, I regularly have a slow response with "Resolving Host" showing on the bottom status bar. After 10 seconds or so, the browser finally loads my webpage. This isn't a browser problem as I have never had this happen on any other internet connection, seriously. Also, I've already cleared my cache and whatnot so please don't ask me to do that. 2nd. Today's internet speeds have been dismal. In fact at one point I could have done better on dial up. This is not what I pay for, and it is extremely disappointing and frustrating. I just ran a speed check using the Cox tool and this is what I got... Download 0.97 Mbps Upload 3.67 Mbps Ping 303ms How in the world is my ping 303ms to the Cox servers? That silly. Any help you can possibly give me?10KViews0likes8CommentsInternet speed
I just upgraded to Preferred High speed 25 x 5. my cable modem is a docis 3.0 Netgear CG3000D. Using the Cox speed test I have NEVER got 25 x 5. I get 9.47 x 7.91, 14.11 x 11.56. Using www.speedtest.net, I get 30.49 x 6.78. Has the upgrade to my account been completed. to preferred w/speed boost? What about firmware for the modem?? Which is the reliable test??6.8KViews0likes12CommentsIntermittent Disconnects daily/ Router CG3000D
Hey everyone, For about two months now, I've been getting disconnects that last for 5~10 seconds, randomly throughout the day. I just checked my event log today and lots of errors that are common among these forums. My router is a Netgear CG3000D. My computer is the only desktop using a hardwire. I have a Antronix 2way 5-1000 splitter that i received last year from the Cox tech. I am very well versed in computers, but networking I haven't dipped into at all. I literally have no idea what is going on, but i'm sick of getting disconnects multiple times throughout the day. Any help would be amazing. Thank you, Cody V6.2KViews0likes7CommentsReadyShare in Netgear CG4500BD gateway
I boughtNetgear CG4500BD gateway from Cox in November and thought it will have "readyshare" USB/external hard drive access but when I connect the drive it does not populate the location.I use Mac OSX 10.9.1. The info says that I can connect USB/external drive as ReadyShare access it. But when I connect it to the USB port, I can not find them. I use smb://readyshare. Can you help me connect it. And I can not use "routerlogin.net". I just talked to Cox geek squad and they seem to have no clue about the ReadyShare. I think somehow Cox has flashed it and deactivated the ReadhyShare option which seems frustrating; why you will do that? When I asked the Cox tech support then they said they will not know and do not have access to these info. I think it is not great idea to limit the options. I am stuck with Cox as we only have cox; otherwise I would change my service provider. Hope this message is read by Cox folks and will provide some solution to fix it.

I see many people are having this same issue but since I actually signed up to reply, this forum will only let me report abuse (what's with that?) I am seeing several with the same router/gateway, all have been on about 1 to 2 years. Netgear CG 3000d. My Internet goes out every afternoon around 1:30 PM. I can almost set the clock by this but it has been slowly getting later each day (been happening for a couple of months now.) They keep wanting to send someone out but since they can only give me a two hour window of when the might show up, that isn't going to help much. It makes no difference if I go through the entire reboot sequence, it just comes back on by itself, usually about 20 minutes but it was an hour the few week it started happening. I tried turning the modem off, first for a couple of hours, then for a week when I was on a trip. Can anyone give me a good explanation of how/why my modem could be doing this? I have it plugged directly in to the wall, I will try another outlet but that doesn't make any sense either.4.7KViews0likes5CommentsNetgear CG3000D issues
This modem/router has been giving me problems since it was installed a couple of months ago. I believe it was a used router. Is there anybody else out there having issues or had issues with this device? My Wi-Fi drops all the time and I have to reset it. My PC is the one most affected by it. This device model is from 2009, to me it seems a little old, and there are no Firmware updates on the Netgear site or this site. By the way, I'm leasing the router from Cox.4.5KViews0likes11CommentsInconsistent/Slow Internet
I currently have Premier Internet Service and have been experiencing intermittent and slow internet (as little as 5 mb/s the last few two to three weeks. My desktop computer is wirelessly connected to the router using a network adapter, which should be able to handle much faster speeds, and has in the past. When I was initially upgraded to Premier service early this month, I was reaching speeds of mid-20's in mb/s, occasionally even low-30's, but now it is rare if I get above 20 and more typically sit around 10. This is measured with both Cox and speedtest.net's services, and you can see an example of the slow/inconsistent speeds here:http://imgur.com/xFobgCO andhttp://imgur.com/2OISM3I . Neither of my roommates were home during these tests, and neither my computer nor my roommates' were downloading anything. The device that is used in my home is a Netgear CG3000D. While my roommates and I understand that, for various reasons, the advertised internet speed is not a reality, we made the decision to pay extra for this internet service because we thought we'd be receiving a realistic speed of at least mid to upper-20's, which we clearly are not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.4.1KViews0likes6CommentsCox / Netgear CG3000D-RG issues: DDNS setup missing!
Netgear CG3000D-RG issues: DDNS setup missing! I and a Cox internet customer from Henderson NV and have spent hours on the phone with Cox tech support trying to find a simple answer. I could never get through to anyone who even knows what Dynamic DNS is. Several years ago, I purchased a Netgear CG3000D-RG modem/router direct from Cox truck at installation time. Now, I need to implement DDNS so I can reliablyremotelyaccess my security / HVAC system after an IP address change. I do have a working DDNS service already setup with dyndns.org. I found that the identical router as supplied by Netgear supports DDNS and thefactorymanual clearly shows a DDNS setup function on the advanced menu. However, the router Cox sold me does not have the DDNS menu item listed. It is either not in the firmware or it has somehow been disabled. My Questions: Can Cox remotely enable the DDNS function? Or, Can I get new firmware that does? (I have heard that Cox can push new firmware to the modem) Or, is there a way that Cox can implement the DDNS direct to my dyndns.org account as an alternative" Why would Cox disable this essential feature? I know I can purchaser new hardware, but an extra expense when a simple solution should work. I hope someone can help. regards Bill4.1KViews0likes2CommentsCG3000D Ethernet Ports
The CG3000D works fine with the Internet, in any of the four Ethernet ports, attached to my desktop PC. However, I have a couple of other Ethernet devices I have tried (in all four Ethernet ports, using with more than one Ethernet cable), and all I get is an orange light on the front of the CG3000D for the other two devices. The two devices include a Linksys/Cisco 8 port switch and a Netgear XE104 'homeplug'. These two items worked perfectly with my old cable modem and wireless router when we were on Suddenlink, until we moved and signed up with Cox. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.Solved3.5KViews0likes5Comments
