    Is it Router or Wifi Cards - PING Results

    Makes sense. I will order a new AC86U instead of an AX version. Not the most modern, just the least headaches. Thanks to Colin Taylor, a true professional!!!

    Is it Router or Wifi Cards - PING Results

    Thanks C. The SB6183 modem logs have been clean for 2 days, it's last reboot, except for a half dozen lines trying to sync time when it powered up. SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire FEC framing;CM-...

    Is it Router or Wifi Cards - PING Results

    Thank yo so much Mr. Taylor. I'm an older guy, performed hours and hours of research, to avoid bothering people about this stuff. Cox reprovisioned the modem earlier (I called them), they see no signs or history of modem issues. Ran the router ping for about an hour. At least 3 times I lost...

    Is it Router or Wifi Cards - PING Results

    OK. I will do that. Note: I ran continuous pings on two differient PC's. They both drop connection at the same time, and come back up at same time. One is a laptop (Win7) using an AC7260 card, other is an Optiplex Mini (Win10) using AC9560 card.

    Is it Router or Wifi Cards - PING Results

    Thanks Colin. Do you mean use a PC connected to the router via ethernet? Or use the 192.168 address from a wifi connected laptop? Currently, only entertainment devices are hard wired to the router (ROKU, PS3, Oknyo, TV, Printer).

    Is it Router or Wifi Cards - PING Results

    Is it possible for our AC66U router to temporarily drop connection and not show that in the System>General logs? Running a continuous ping shows it drop for a few seconds, then comes back. Drops happen all day, about every 10-20 minutes. How do we determine if the cause is the router or Wifi...

    WiFi Drops w/No Indications - Drunk Sister & Hot Router w/Logs

    Do the partial logs below look like the AC66U router is disconnecting frequently? It says "entering disabled state" many times. I can't determine if the issue is router or WiFi cards. A week ago my sister "supposedly" lost internet connection at 2AM and drunk. She "unplugged cables" to reset...

    Mysterious new Network device access? (Added VPN service)

    I should mention that IPVanish (VPN) support had me "reset my DNS settings" by using the below: netsh int ip reset I guess this step might have opened up my visibility to all the devices, no idea.

    Mysterious new Network device access? (Added VPN service)

    Hi All, Can anyone explain why I now have this new access, and how to puts things back? I am concerned someone can access the network (even wirelessly) and will have access to every device. Five days ago I purchased a VPN service, installed their app, which also installed OpenVPN Tap...

    Waking up NAS every 60min. - Create static ARP command?

    In case someone else reads this - Synology NAS requests DHCP IP renewal every 1 hour from the router. It's sending DHCPREQUEST command to the router. When the lease is renewed, even the IP is the same, the HDD need to spin up to write to the file. THE FIX- In Synology DSM 4, Network Interface...

    Waking up NAS every 60min. - Create static ARP command?

    Many Synology owners experience this and find it to be a router caused issue. Our NAS is connected to an AC66U via Rj45. Our TV and laptops connect to the router via Rj45, creating a small LAN. This AC66U is not connected to the net, and both radios are off. (We have another AC66U that...

    65Mbps Threshold - Anybody Ever Exceed This?

    As mentioned above, we have the AC7260 in both dell XPS laptops. Like dlandiss mentioned, this must be a Cox issue. Although it seems odd this would be happening at both home, which are 12 miles apart. One last thing. About 3weeks ago our net speeds went down to a crawl at 1AM. I called Cox and...

    65Mbps Threshold - Anybody Ever Exceed This?

    The Traffic Manager - QOS is turned off. I think I read from Rmerlin long time ago who said turn this off. Yes, I turn off the radios when I test with Rj45. I did test 3-4 times direct to Surfboard modem over last couple years. Last time was a couple months ago and it was 64Mbps. I also tried...

    65Mbps Threshold - Anybody Ever Exceed This?

    Using speed tests (Ookla, Speakeasy, TestMy, Cox, etc) we have never get either laptop to exceed 65Mpbs. It doesn't mater if connected through Cat6 or Wireless AC. It creeps right up to it, but never over 65. Both houses have Cox Ultimate Plan (150Mbps) and both use the AC66U router. In fact...

    Old AC66u, first time connecting to AC, is IPv6 needed?

    Well I guess everything is OK now. Network connection speeds to the laptop range from 400-500 Mbps. I purchased a newer Moto modem (SB6183) which made no difference in the actual internet speed (55-60Mbps). I'm still a bit dumbfounded that Intel NIC drivers/settings have ZERO mention of...
