Is there any way to improve your home internet? You're using a cable modem and have tried some fixes, but you're still experiencing slow speeds. You connected a TP-Link Archer C3200 and managed to get better connections, but the overall performance remains inconsistent. It's also happening on your LAN network. The issue seems to be with the modem itself, as it isn't forwarding ports and blocking certain software. Anyone have suggestions?
You could improve your situation by earning more and investing in gigabit Wi-Fi... But your cables are looking terrible, they’re bent badly, and they’re wearing out quickly. That’s not good at all.
In short, the random shutdowns in routers happen because too much traffic is hitting the onboard CPU. The only solution is to lower the load or upgrade the connection. I've even tried adding a fan to my ISP modem to help cool things down, but it didn't work. Hope you're doing okay!
The real problem is too many connections passing through the device. ISP stock modems are always unreliable, no matter how advanced they are. The only solution to the wifi interruptions is upgrading to better equipment or improving the network infrastructure.
Your feedback doesn't add value since fixing the "WiFi pipe" isn't the issue—they noted wired connections also have similar problems. If the problem lies with the ISP modem, it depends on whether your provider allows replacing it. It's unclear whether they're using the modem as a router (via port forwarding, which matters only if set up in router mode) or have implemented double-NAT. It's possible the C3200 is functioning as an access point. If the cable modem is acting as a router, the first step should be checking if you can switch it into bridge mode and use the C3200 as the router, which would improve performance significantly.
The bridge mode is unavailable on the modem/router provided by the company you mentioned.
