I moved to a new house in July and have been having sporadic issues with the connection, trying to identify the issue and wanted to see if someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
Cox Internet 150mbps
Modem - CM700 (2 years old)
Router - Orbi AC2200 Mesh (2 years old)
The speeds I get are perfectly fine, but the connection seems to have blips sporadically and I'm trying to pinpoint the issue.
We will randomly get buffering when streaming shows from Netflix, or a few minutes where we can't connect to the internet from any devices and then everything will be fine. This is especially noticeable when I have WiFi calls to my cell phone where they will drop at times. When this happens, the router looks like it's connected fine and all the modem lights are on. This will happen even when in the same room as the router and modem.
I'm trying to determine if this is a Cox, modem or router issue. If it was an issue with the modem, would the lights all remain green? Cox is trying to charge me $75 to have them come out to check the connection. The sporadic part is what kills me, we could go awhile with no issues, but then today have quite a few.
Any suggestions or thoughts on how to identify would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
