I'm currently on 3.0.205i. Should I update or how old is this version?

It's working now ya!!!

Thanks I'll give a try!

I was using the internet and it just randomly went off. ISP says everything is good on their end. I've unplugged it about 10 times. Is my router shot? It won't let me log into via my phone either. I have an R2 btw. Any help would be great.

@Zippy Hey bud, So I went ahead and ordered a surfboard modem and have had 2 days now. Things have actually stabilized nicely! Thank you for your advice bro. Appreciate it! My base ping has actually dropped from the low 20's to mid teens and ping under load has stabilized! Also I am getting more down'oad speeds with this modem as well. I used to get 275 ish now is around 360. Thnaks again!

I've been on these speeds for a while Fraser. So everything has been the same on my end. Thats why I am saying this just started a month ago. I used to get close to my regular ping test with my ping test under load. I would get A+'s across the board or A's at least. Thats why I am thinking maybe my modem might be on its last leg. My ping has always been very stable. I always used to check it on pingplotter before you guys put the new connection benchmark on the software. When I talked to the Spectrum on the phone the lady was saying that my modem is old and its not made for the speeds I have now.

Hey Zippy, Thanks for the reply and the info. I'm not super keen on these types of things so I like when ppl educate me on what is good and what isn't. So the Docsis 3.1 is worth the money your saying? Because those modems are spendy. The tp link 7610 was cheap and it has been good all way up to this point. I think its overloaded with my connection speeds exceeding its capabilities. Out of curiosity what is your ping stats? Are they good with the Arris? Assuming they are or you wouldn't recommend it. Also, I did a factory reset already. I just updated the R2 when i got the modem and I was on the old software. Thanks again!

I've done that already thats why i;m saying something ain't right cause this just started about month ago.

Here's my issue lately. Like the last month or so I have been having issues with my ping under load. I'm wondering if my modem is getting old. I have the tp link7610 and I bought it in 2017 I believe. I had speeds right around 200 dn and 11 up back then with spectrum. Now they have upgraded me and I have 300+ same upload. I own the R2 and bought a different modem the Motorola MB7621 and hooked it up and I was having packet loss and couldn't get the thing to work right. So I called spectrum and said I'm gonna put the old modem back. My question is do you think its my modem? Its only rated for 150 mg and the fact it might be getting old. If so anyone with spectrum what modem are you using? I'm looking at the Netgear CM500. Wondering if it works with duma R2. It says its compatible with any router. Any insight would be great. Spectrum is a fairly big company nationwide and I'm sure there are a lot folks that can add their 2 cents in. Thanks in advance, cheers! I used to A's across the board for these tests so thats why I'm wondering. I wish Modbox was still around. He was the one that put me on the tplink 7610. That thing has been a champ and it lowered my ping when I got it!

Nevermind fraser I got it. Sorry for all of the dumb questions!

Cant I just hit the update button on the router? I have the R2 also if that makes a difference

Hey there I am on 3.0.2050i is this current? If its not do I just hit the update button? Thanks!

Like Fraser was saying its congestion and peak times your connection will fluctuate. Your connection looks good for the most part. Your jitter is awesome at .11. Mine is like a 2 sometimes a 1. You could try messing with the download slider in qos and run the tests again and see if that makes a difference. But more than likely you are in area that has the same internet company and they are using it at the same time which causes these issues. Good luck!

I'm finally gonna buy a PS5 cause they are becoming more available at normal price. With that said I need some logical advice on what monitor to buy. I've always had good luck with the benQ monitors with the ps4's I own. With all the new upgrades in fps and picture quality I want to make sure I'm buying the right one for the price. I want to get the cheapest best monitor for the price and it has to be a 1ms response. I will settle for nothing less. Can yall post your advice and comments. Appreciate it and thank you! -basically I want response time over picture. -Also the only game I really play and have the time to play is COD, just an fyi

Lol, yeah I was watchin the game and was like wth, smh. Put the game on mute mid 2nd quarter and we end up pulling off the unthinkable. What a crazy year! Yeah I'm still with spectrum. There is nothing better where I live. I want fiber but where I live it isn't in my area. The servers are different for different times of the day I will agree with that. However Warzone is completely different since they don't use all of the ones mp does. I'll keep investigating thanks for chiming in. Hope all is well!

Yeah definitely for warzone it does. The lowest I've had was like 25ms then on in game ping it would read high 50's but have spikes up to like 77ms. All the other servers other than the one here (which is Illinios) I'm close to 50ms and then in game says I'm at high 90's and sometimes will spike to over 100. So I really don't have a choice. I feel like the servers have gotten worse over the years. When they first came out with dedi's it was during WW2. I remember cause I dropped my first nuke then. These last few cods I can't even play multiplayer anymore as I just get destroyed. I used to be decent at mp with like a 1.6-1.7 kd and warzone I've never been any good cause I'm very hindered by connection I feel. It is what it is I guess. Thanks for your input Fraser appreciate ya!

Hey Netduma fam, got a quick question for everyone. So the ping that the geo filter says I'm on 30ms and then when you look at in game ping it's like 40ms + higher. Why is that? I get into some lobbies and it feels like dudes are a second ahead of me. I know a lot vids are popping up now saying this game is rigged and I have no doubt this is the case. I just want to further understand it. Thanks! -Also my connection benchmark test I get an A+

nevermind I unplugged it and it came up.

Hey I cannot open router from my computer which the only way I use it.

Hey Liam, the ping heat map doesn't work for me. It did at one point. I tried to resync cloud and that didn't do anything either. Any ideas?

Yep, mt fault. I unplugged this router for a bit and was using my other router and it still had all the settings saved. I was thinking I needed to add it again. Thank you!

trying to add my playstation and it keeps saying this. Won't let me add it

That worked!! Thanks again! Yo, btw glad yall came out with an R2 loved the R1 in its day. I had the XR500 but it quit on me. Anyways I played a couple games with it (Warzone) Loved the connection. Seemed way more crisp with the basic settings! Thanks again!

Yeah I see both networks on my phone and my laptop but not tv's/roku.

yep I gave them a different name. Then I disabled 2.4? Its still not showing up on tv though. Do I need to reboot router then reboot roku?
