Hello all,
I've contacted the ISP via their forum as well (Mediacom) but I wanted to post here too. I've been getting some extremely inconsistent connections for the past couple of weeks. Online games will be smooth and then lag harshly, sometimes leading to disconnections. Web browsers will work fine (like right now), and 30 minutes later they won't load at all. I use Teamspeak with a game, and it has no lag even when the game is experiencing severe lag, or even dropped from server (I feel like this might be important). Netflix will load and stream an HD movie like normal, and halfway through it will disconnect. All of these times I have to hard reboot the router and modem. It usually comes back online, but only for a short time. Sometimes it takes 5 or 10 minutes for the modem to fully connect again.
I have a Motorola SB5101U Surfboard modem and Linksys E1200 Router, both a couple of years old or more, but looking good.
I have tried the following:
Hard reset to modem and router.
Bypassing router and running through modem.
Switching ethernet cables.
Checked for a splitter or frayed co-ax - cable is in good shape. Lots of 1:1 connectors but no splitters.
Disabled/enabled Ipv6.
Refreshed DNS via CMD prompt.
Tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS and reverted back to automatic (no change).
Ran the online speed tests with great results - tests would not even load when having slow connections, so I can't see how slow it is when having issues.
Rebooted computer.
Disabled firewall.
I really don't know what else to do. There's no way both my modem and router could have taken a dump at the same time. And it has the same problem thru the modem as well. This is getting pretty frustrating as I am a big online gamer and also we are big on streaming Netflix. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions or troubleshoots I can try.
Thanks!
