Re: [NV] New speeds live in Vegas said by bryant313:any gigabit router will do you fine
You didn't actually just say that, did you?  Not all routers are "fine," not even close, and I require 11n wireless as well (kind of a given with a Gigabit router these days, especially one with a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem integrated as well.
There's nothing particularly wrong with this Netgear one from Cox except I can't do much with it in terms of administration or custom firmware so, at some point it's got to go.
And it overheats pretty severely, almost to the point of me wanting to Jerry-rig a fan onto the vents on top. I mean, really really hot at times, it's a bit ridiculous to be honest.
Anywhoo... ever since the "upgrade" hours ago I've noted that general browsing is very slow, very laggy so I'm guessing it'll pass at some point but, maybe it's related to some DNS issues as well, will do some testing and maybe switch over to Google DNS for a bit. |

| SB6141 |

| Yeah, I think I need to upgrade my modem then. I'm not seeing that speed on any test I try. I'm using the SB6120. Thing is it says max for this modem is 150Mbps down, but I'm not even seeing that. |

said by Needleinthha:Just rebooted and also got new speeds in phoenix...sweet!
Also, I'm on 6 channels down, 3 channels up, which seems to be adequate
I personally think this is kind of a bad move on cox's part, as 150mbps down on 6 channel's is asking a lot, and only gonna be more headache's for cox to maintain in the future. Cox doesn't promise speed's, just like all other provider's. So if I am you guy's on ultimate, and can keep a solid 100mbps down I would be happy. As these number's are a little high at 150mbps, and not very realistic to expect at all times during peak usage, as all bandwidth is shared. |

Yes you need to upgrade to a 8x4 D3 modem, if your on premier or above tier. As having as many downstream channel's available is key, to keep your speed's more steady, and to have more available bandwidth at all times. |

| A 4x4 Docsis 3 modem is fine for the 50mb tier but it's pushing it with the 150mb tier. |

Do you have ultimate? if so just run shaperprobe, and see what kind of results it gives you. |

Looks like the Cox Vegas Speedtest site needs to be upgraded. Cant seem to handle over ~100Mb. Speedtest.net works fine though. |
