I have time warmer now "spectrum" Cable Internet. I bought this Netgear Nighthawk model shown here... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear...3-0-cable-modem-black/4403100.p?skuId=4403100
As of about a month ago or so I been having problems with the internet dropping out,I had the cable repair come to the house and check and said he did see a loose connection on the pole,and maybe a bit of corrosion on one of the coaxial cable outside in my box,,So he went around tightened and replaced a few cable ends. For a solid week or so there was No issues and then a drop out,then good a few days then another drop out. This went on for a few weeks,then It got worse so I made another call,And they came back out. The guy ran his meter inside and out and said he's getting really good signal and all his numbers are good if not better than they should be "but of course the internet was on when he was here"
Usually just doing the power reset doesnt fix it,I have to unscrew the coaxial cable and screw it back in,,then I start getting a signal. We also have cable television and there hasnt been a issue with that,So I guess that means my router is going bad then,Do you agree? It just seems weird but maybe its just a coincidence that it has been really dropping in and out and it's been really windy today.
I doubt the cable people will do any more for me as they have already been out twice, I mean electronics dont last forver but I just expect this $230.00 router to last longer than a year and a half. I would also hate to buy another router and still have the same problem,So thats why im here,Does this sound like a router/modem going bad and these are typical signs of failure,Or Do you think I have other issues. Please let me know what you think or maybe something else to check,Thanks!
