After 2 days of either intermittent or full blown loss of internet I unplugged the modem and router and left them unplugged all night. I started them up the next morning and everything has been fine ever since. Cancelled the appointment with the tech so they wouldn't try to charge me for it...

Knock on wood. After pressing the rest button on my modem it is working so far. It went through a second cycle of rebooting but since then my internet has been good.

The modem is mine.

A buddy of mine who did PC stuff for the military suggested updating the firmware. It appears you cannot update the firmware on this modem. I have done a reset. Not holding out too much hope that will fix it. I may just buy a new modem. The CM1000 is rated a gig speed but nowadays there are...

I have been using a Netgear CM1000 since about 2019. I have Spectrum internet. It has worked fine with no outages since I moved to my new home in February. Yesterday I got up and had a text from Spectrum saying there was an outage and it would be fixed by 11am. It was sporadic all day and around...

I have a Logitech K800 from 2017. It is having huge problems with random lag when I try to type something. I was looking at the Logitech K540 which looks like a direct replacement based on the keyboard layout. BUT Amazon reviews state it has a huge problem with lag when typing. What is up with...

I have model number F1704VAP-AS56. The keyboard is extremely difficult to see. I read that you can hold down the Fn key and then press F4 or F7 to increase the backlight but it doesn't do anything. Edit: I didn't have to press the Fn key at all. Just F7. There are 3 levels of brightness. All...

ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero. I just googled it to see what speeds it is capable of and comically enough the USB C port isn't even listed. It says there is a mix of USB ports with max speed up to 10Gbps.

Interesting.

You my friend, are a genius. I don't know why I overlooked the motherboard. It does have one USB C port. I tried it and got 700MB (bytes not bits) consistently during a 50GB transfer. That's almost a 20x increase in speed! Maybe it was the USB to USB C adapter? Maybe the way my front panel is...

If the enclosure is the issue that is sad. I bought it on Amazon with a 4.6 star rating across 13K reviews. I also googled best external enclosures and this model came up as the best option for most people. I expected more but at this point it doesn't matter. It took 1/2 hr to transfer the files...

I was transferring 70GB worth of files. The enclosure barely got warm enough to notice. Reiterating I can't try a different cable. I am using the one that came with the enclosure and I don't have a USB C port on my PC so I have to use the adapter BUT it is also rated at 10Gbps. I will check for...

This sucks because I could have used my 20 year old Seagate HDD external enclosure instead of spending the money on these products.

The product page says this: "SPEED: USB 3.2 supports data transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps for steady and efficient data transfer. Backward compatible with USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 at respective speed limits." It doesn't say what gen. It does say USB 3.2 type C if that matters. I am still...

I measured the speed by the box that pops up on the screen when you start the transfer. It fluctuated between 39 to 40.8 megaBYTES. I have read USB 2.0 should be capable of up to 60MB but 40MB is common. I am using the cable that came with the enclosure. I can't try it without the adapter...
