Adding Ethernet a good idea?
I would like to add a Poe Ethernet switch to an existing cox panoramic Wi-Fi router. Would I connect the switch directly to the cox issued modem/router? Will it interfere with the ability to use Wi-Fi? Anyone have an Ethernet switch with POE that they would recommend for this application
Modem/Router Combo Internet Issues
Hello, all. I have the modem/router combo unit from Cox, a Technicolor CGM4140COM. At seemingly random intervals, my speeds drop to 2% of my plan speed. It doesn't matter if it's my wirred connections or Wi-Fi. This can happen multiple times in a day or not happen for days at a time. Every single chat to Cox has been a horrible experience that leaves me so angry primarily due to a complete lack of ability to read what I type. In some cases, my modem has been reset without my approval causing other issues in those moments as I work from home. Resetting the modem will fix the issue temporarily ever time. Despite saying this, the reps will always reset the modem, say it's resolved, and to contact again if it happens again. I reach back out and they just loop me around again. Hell, I've even had the speeds drop again within 15 minutes of a reset. I don't know what to do at this point as support seems to not care. A friend within a mile of me is also dealing with similar problems, though he could see the Uncorrectable Codeword count in his settings was off the charts. He was even given their newest modem/router combo earlier today and is already experiencing new issues. I'm hoping someone here may either know the magic words to use to get some actual help or have encountered and resolved this issue. Happy to provide any details that may help you help me.
Intermittent internet connection loss
Does anyone know what these event logs mean? I have an Arris Surfboard cable modem/router combo G34, AX3000. Early this morning around 3:30am I woke up and noticed my internet connection had dropped. I unplugged power for a few minutes and plugged back in and let the device come back up but the trouble persisted. This device only has one light on the front and it was flashing blue when the connection was lost. Typically when all is good the light is a steady blue. I've been having on and off problems going back to Summer 2024 but these logs look different. I was on a good stretch of about a month of not losing internet connection until this morning. I do continue to see Firewall input/forward drops however. I've had several tech visits and they always tell me the signal is strong. They have tested at the junction box by my driveway, the Cox box on the outside of the house, and the wall plate port near the modem/router. And the connection typically is great up until it's not and actually getting a tech out at any given drop would be impossible. When the connection drops my phone displays "Connected without internet", my laptop connection displays "No internet, secured". These types of internet drops have also followed me from one modem/router combo to a brand new different one.
