| Modem issue? I have 50/5 internet with TWC, but the wifi speeds cap out at 20 down, and the wifi often drops.
Is there an issue with my modem? It's a D3 Ubee modem. Should I ask for a new one, or buy one of my own?
Thanks! |

first try hard wired. what kind of modem and router do you have? my initial guess is an overwhelmed wifi router being pushed the max until it drops/resets |

The 2nd issue is the ubee modem, 3611... Swap it.
edit-swap it for a non-ubee. |

I have a very similar issue. I get 50 down wired, and 10-15 with wifi,with frequent drops. I'm using a ubee 3VW3200.
I'm considering a new modem if it will allow me to get full speeds. The modem is with arms reach. |

| For gateways you could try a DG860A, if you don't have phone or a TG862G if you have phone service, I'm not sure if a full 50Mbps would work over wireless N, but I get a full 31Mbps through my TG862G and windows says I'm getting a 150Mbps wireless speed rate, but that speed is limited by my wireless card, so others could get higher rates. I don't have any wifi drops with any of my wifi devices, but I think a separate router is still better than combo units, but I'd have to say the Arris is a decent unit. |
