    Question RTC/UDP Shenanigans- DESPERATELY looking for a genius; WiFi hates voice calls ?

    DISCLAIMER: I'm copy pasting this from my post on Reddit, which was completely ignored :( I'm on my hands and knees, this is driving me and my family bonkers o_O , I haven't found any posts online that have had fixes to this problem. I've been going around in circles and ending back up at the...

    Question Intermittent (but frequent) internet connectivity drops - next steps?

    I am at my wits end with this issue, and my ISP (Spectrum) has been absolutely, frustratingly useless. A bit of background: we moved into a new house in March this year (~2.5 months before the time of this post). My router is an ASUS RT-AX55 and the modem is a Spectrum unit - model EN2251. These...

    Question Packet Loss Only On Upload

    Long version: For about a month I have been experiencing pretty severe packet loss but only on my upload. There was a power surge one day- all of my hardware is plugged into a surge protector- and that night when trying to stream to Twitch I dropped a constant 30% frames. My upstream light would...

    Question Spectrum internet freezes but doesn't disconnect, happens for 10-20 seconds and keeps me from playing games reliably.

    Hello, hoping I can find an answer here. My internet, provided by spectrum keeps me from having a consistent gaming experience because of it dropping/freezing every so often. I have tried almost everything at this point to try and fix it. I have had them come out and give us a new modem...

    [SOLVED] Why are my download speeds so slow?

    Hey guys, I know there's probably a million threads on this topic but I thought I'd throw my situation out there anyway. So basically I'm wondering my download speed is so slow, I'm currently getting about 6-20mpbs downloading an update on my Xbox one X using an ethernet and the same on the...

    [SOLVED] High Ping. Spectrum is my ISP.

    I live in St.Petersburg, Florida and around 4 months ago my ping spiked to 75-100ms and hasn't gone down since. I have no other ISPs in my area to switch to so I really need this to get fixed. Here is traceroute to Google's public DNS: f1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms www.routerlogin.com [192.168.1.1] 2...

    [SOLVED] Internet goes out randomly every few minutes

    Hello, so about a month and a half ago I encountered an issue where my internet would go out for a few minutes and then come back. I used to have an all in one modem/ router and I noticed it would sort of restart and the DS/US and the Online light would begin to blink. After a few minutes it...

    Question Internet only slow in-game

    TLDR: When playing online games (Modern Warfare, Apex, etc.) my connection speeds show massive drops as soon as the game is loaded, even when using Ethernet. As soon as I quit the game, the connection shoots back to normal. HOWEVER, when at a different house with a different ISP, connection is...

    [SOLVED] Can't open any ports, even with DMZ enabled on my modem.

    I am not sure what changed, but for years I was able to host a minecraft server on the port 25565, but now I am unable to open any ports to any services. My current setup is a Motorola SURFboard SBG6580 modem/router acting as a modem, and a Netgear nighthawk R6700v2 router. I have checked my...

    [SOLVED] Netgear and Spectrum incompatible?

    I recently purchased a Netgear Cm1000 and a R7000p. I had spectrum come out to test the connection and they couldn't get it to work. The modem was working, because the spectrum tech connected a spectrum router to and and the wifi worked just fine. It was just my own router that had issues. I...

    Question Is it possible that my router (Linksys Velop) is causing my modem to reboot?

    Hi Everyone, For the last 3+ months I've been having intermittent internet issues where the modem has been rebooting itself randomly. I've had 5 different modems and the Spectrum tech has been out 7 times. They've tested all the signals during normal operation and all are nominal. The last tech...

    Question Trying to self install a spectrum modem/router but the online icon won’t come on. Help.

    Hi. I’ve been stuck on this for a few days and feel like a failure. I thought I could install a technicolor mta on my own but apparently I can’t.

    [SOLVED] New Modem and Router Preventing Port Forwarding

    Hi, I'm trying to get port forwarding to work on this modem and router that was provided by Spectrum. Specifically I would like to forward ports 7777 but it seems like no ports are being forwarded at all. I've sort of narrowed it down to what the problem might be but I would like a second...
