Unusably Slow Ethernet Speed from Panoramic Gateway with Gigablast
Hello, I just finished installing Gigblast wifi today, and my wireless internet works fine. However, when trying to connect the included ethernet cable to my laptop, my laptop says it connects successfully with internet access, but it is so slow that I can not load any pages. I have tried many possible fixes, such as flushing my DNS cache, re-installing my ethernet driver on my computer, restarting the gateway, and disabling my firewall, but nothing has worked so far. Windows network status says that I am connected to the internet. For a full list of things I've tried (probably not exhaustive either)... Restarting computer Restarting/rebooting gateway Setting TCP/IPv4 properties to automatically obtain IP/DNS server ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew netsh winsock reset Disable Windows firewall Disable firewall in Cox gateway settings LAN Ethernet link status is active in Cox gateway settings Try different ethernet cables Try both ethernet ports Disabling/re-enabling ethernet network adapter Check/uncheck TCP/IPv6 in ethernet properties Disconnect from wireless network Ran TCP Optimizer Checked hosts file (nothing in there) Get-NetAdapter in PowerShell shows link speed of 1 Gbps Disable/enable "Automatically detect settings" in Windows proxy settings Windows network reset Clear cache in web browser Tried multiple browsers with all extensions disabled Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.5KViews0likes5Comments
Can I Connect An External Hard Drive to 3925? How?
I have an older router that I planned to use with my new Cox connection so I could do back ups of my laptop and possibly access pictures/video/music but I went with the All In One solution and I didn't ask the tech about adding an external HD. There are 4 Ethernet ports so I am guessing it may be possible and maybe even possible to access pics, etc. via my TV but while I understand the concept I am no techie so if you do have a way be as specific "For Dummies" as possible. While it is highly unlikely to happen at my age I will consider naming any first born after you if I get the whole nine yards. [Insert annoying emoticon here.] Thank you. RD2.1KViews0likes1Comment
