Is something wrong with my Actiontec?

I can be downloading at about 6.2MB/s solid for 20-30 minutes and then suddenly it will drop to around 2.5MB/s until I powercycle it. A powercycle will always bring it back up to around 6.2MB/s.

I am using all LAN ports, but nothing serious.

1: PC
2: PC
3: Linksys PAP2T VoIP device
4: Roku 2 XS

These connected devices will be idling when the speed drops happen.

Try resetting the modem by hitting the reset button on the bottom of the device.
Alternatively, you may also reset from the GUI (192.168.1.254).

Resetting the modem won't fix a drop in speed like that.

6.2MB/s? What kind of speed is your plan? 2.5MB/s is close to what a 25mbps speed plan should give.

50meg plan is 6.25 MBps maxed out.

I had a similar issue with an Actiontec v1000h with speed drops.
Wound up getting it replaced with another. Solved all issues.

Yep, I'm on the 50Mbps plan. I'll see if a rep will get a new modem out to me or something.

Have them check the stability of your connection also.
