    Oh sorry Mod, i was calling Xymox the expert, not you. I read his posts on dslr all the time. The guy is a pro! Also, I NEVER disagreed with you about the puma chipset. The only thing we disagreed about was the 7610 being the best modem and how i tested it when I had it. I think you are good guy and are very helpful though. If you want, you can PM me so we can squash our differences and so we don't derail this thread again Cheers mate!

    You are the man! thanks for your expertise on the modem issues.

    THE_DEAD_POOL, on 20 Jul 2017 - 06:13 AM, said: I came across a Netgear CM600 for $60. It is 24x8 which would also work if your ISP supports it. So far I have not noticed much of a difference in performance between the CM600 and the TP-Link TC-7610 compatibility wise with the Netduma R1. Modem Levels, Speeds, gameplay, Netduma Features, Bufferbloat, Puma 6 test, Jitter, and Pings are pretty much identical between the two. The main difference is with the CM600, I can consistently lock in to channels in the 800hz frequency range. The TP-Link seemed to have a hard time getting out of the 900hz range. The CM600 is a bit of overkill for my current internet plan (150/10), but for the price I figured I would try it out. It is rated up to 960Mbps. The CM600 also runs the Broadcom chipset. They usually run around $100, but I got lucky on craigs and found mine for $60." I quoted another user dead pool for you

    Hmm I am pretty sure everyone for the most part is doing that exact same thing, sharing their OWN experiences with modems they have used with the R1. No reason to lock this thread, it got heated there for awhile but has since calmed down except for some recent name calling. It is bad when there other honest R1 owners trying to help out but since they are not part of the good ole boys club their opinion is quickly shunned and don't know what they are talking about. At the end of the day even though the 7610 did not work out for me i still recommend it to other users. Because i am the minority and not ignorant of the fact something could have been a miss when i tested. You have to realize if a potential buyer is considering buying the R1 and sees this thread stating only 5 modems work with it. They may not buy it, actually if i saw this that before i purchased mine, i never would have. Also the fact some people don't have money to buy a new modem even if it is only $40. I agree the puma modems are junk and would not ever buy one but lets try and help the users if they are stuck with one. Right now I'm using the Motorola mb7220 with real good results but have yet to post any data because the good ole boy club would say i don't know what I'm talking about and that right there is sad. Especially since no one here knows my technical or gaming background.

    He is not a troll or claims the 6183 is the best. You are the only person here saying one modem is the absolute best. All he is saying is that he uses the 6183 with good results, that's all. I don't know why you have a deal with any one stating that they are having good results using other modems with the R1. I think we are all here trying to help fellow users, no one is a troll here. We are just disagreeing due are OWN experiences.

    Okay so looks like I did not upload all the the photos 2 weeks ago. However those screenshots are of the 7610 pinging 8.8.8.8. I did ping google.com as well using IPV6 (see attached screenshot). The only difference was adding a splitter in my testing but that's the only way I could use the 7610 was adding a splitter, so it would be stupid for me to test it with out since I would never use the 7610 without it. So really the only difference is the RTA and/or the splitter and I will give you that for the controllable variables. So since I did not use the splitter with the Cisco when testing I will stop with the comparison of the two even though that is how it would have been used in my set up. However, I am now using the Motorola MB7220 set up EXACTLY the same way the 7610 was set up with a splitter, same cable, same everything and it has outperformed the 7610, in buffer bloat, gaming (by a mile) and line quality tests. This modem can also be had for around $20 on Ebay which is more affordable than the 7610. Also I use IPV6 because I have no issues with it, speeds and ping (jitter) are better using IPv6 protocol with my ISP. I have yet to hear one good reason why the mods recommend turning it off except for the bug I myself found that they were were not aware of until I posted my own thread about CC does not work with IPV6. So going forward I will just discuss the performance of the MB7220, so this madness can be sqaushed.

    I must have posted the wrong screen shot. Anyways. it is obvious you are not the smartest guy out there. I feel sorry for you, If you only knew my technical back ground. Have fun with your delusional world you live in. One thing I know for sure is that I am using another modem with guess what? a splitter and game play has been stellar as well as all network line test. Outpeforms the 7610 by a mile with game play with the exact same set up! But according to you my tests and opinions are invalid, however your opinion and data good??? lol
  9. XSXS
    Ummmm... Try reading the entire thread before asking for data that has already been posted. Lol. Is this modbox alternate account? Haha Wowzers! Plus all I am saying I had better results with my old Cisco modem than the 7610. I would still recommend the 7610 to other users. All I am really saying there are other modems out there that work well with the R1 which should be good news for every owner of an R1. Not everyone has $40 to spend on a new modem just because someone says theirs do not work when it actually does. If you are in the market for an 8x4 modem, by all means give the 7610 a try and see how it goes. If no good, they can always return it like I did.

    I thought I was done replying to you in this thread but since you mentioned my tests, I will have to educate you again since talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. Here are the facts with my testing on the 7610. I had an actual Cox tech come out and verify my lines prior to testing it. I was watching him and talking with him the whole time. Meaning my lines are good! My line quality is good enough to hand a -3.5dB splitter, so that argument is invalid for you. I only used the return path attentuator on the Cisco modem, never used it with the 7610. My upstream power levels with no attenuation was around 38-39 dbmv. The sweet spot for cox is 42-45. I pinged google.com which from my experience is more consistent in pings than google DNS 8.8.8.8. I use both Ipv4 and ipv6 so both those screen shots are showing how the 7610 pinged using both protocols. I also posted a screen shot of the 7610 modem levels which are perfectly acceptable even with a splitter installed. At least I informed everyone how exactly I tested the 7610. You have no data, dates, or how you tested each modem with the R1. Where is the ping plotter charts for all the other modems that don't work with the R1? How long did you "painstakingly" test each modem? It also sounds like deadpool is not having that great of luck with the 7610 anymore and he uses the same ISP as me. "must be the lines: even though other modems work?...
  11. XSXS
    I would stay away from all Puma chipset modems right now. I would only recommend Broadcom base modems.
  12. XSXS
    Where do you live? I live in Phx and not one person I know personal has over 300Meg. Cox, my ISP is still a year or two out for even 1 gig service. I mean do normal families even need 1 gig? Cox is already putting a monthly data cap on their customer as well as others, interested on how this will effect heavy bandwidth users. Anyway, I only have 150 meg service that is overkill for my household as we never stream anything, no Netflow, no Roku no firestick but even if we did I think 150Meg is still plenty. However lets say this mulit gig world happens sooner than expected, I would think the Netduma team would have new hardware to use with their software, I know I would. I do agree the hardware is a little dated.
  13. XSXS
    I agree with bimmer but keep. In mind if you do go with an 8x4 modem and have speed bandwidth issues your isp will blame your modem even if they are at fault.
  14. XSXS
    Wow modbox, you act like I'm trying to discount you and/or anyone elses success with the 7610, which I'm an not. Lets try this again I'm sharing my personal experience with the 7610. Is it a good modern? Yes. Would I recommend other moderns?, yes Would I recommend it? Yes. But I've have better experience with the Cisco. And you know what I just bought another modem to try out to get away from the Cisco cuz i think it's old technology. Look up signal levels for upstream, lower is better. Meaning my upstream levels are so good that my modem barely needs to "talk" to be heard by the cmts. However if too low you will have packet loss, hence the addition of an RTA to force my modem to speak louder so it is heard by the cmts. My line quality is fine, just look at my signal levels and plus my neighborhood is only 3 years old. . If any modem can't work within spec than they are no good and not for everyone.
  15. XSXS
    Why would I be lying? my testing methods are legit. Here are my modem levels with the splitter installed and the RTA attenuator removed with the 7610. Well withing spec of my ISP and 7610 operating range. So I had an actual cox tech come out and check my lines and I provided exactly what and how I am testing with data. Why can't you accept not everyone is going to happy with 7610? In end all I am doing is provided my experience with it and wanting to test other modems out to help other users.
