Beware of false advertising on website “upgrades”
Beware of the “upgrade for 50 cents LESS than your current plan” on Cox Upgrade page. Cox is a scam artist. Upgraded for the website price... told me it was actually going to be $20 more than the “50 cents less than your current plan”... like it states on THEIR website... even with the “all-in” pricing - which is a total scam by the way, says it includes equipment and surcharges.. it doesn’t. What Cox is doing is called false advertising, this will be reported to the BBB.
(Update) Bought a Router/Modem on bad tech suggestion. Should I use new router/modem and replace a Netgear C3700?
I bought a TP-Link AC1750 (Archer A7) and a Netgear CM 600 from bad advice from COX tech support(thread here).Chat support suggested my C3700 was at its end of life and needed to be replaced. The problem was my wiring. After getting techs here to address my bad wiring, my signal improved and my WIFI (and signal) is now rock solid. Question: Is there a reason I should keepthe newTP-Link AC1750 (Archer A7) and a Netgear CM 600 to replace my old Netgear C3700? Is the 8x4 a concern? Another concern I have regarding replacing my old equipment is, when I check my logs, I see [DoS attack: Teardrop or derivative] ..... [DoS attack: Ping Of Death] from .... [DoS attack: Illegal Fragments] from .... [DoS attack: Teardrop or derivative] from .... Apparently, this is a common problem [1][2][3][4]. I am unclear if these are false positives or a reason to swap out this modem combo.
