iamez Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 I had a similar problem. I had to reformat and install XP. After that my internet speed really sucked. Cox came out yesterday. Changed some cables and etc.. He tweaked some settings on my PC. After he left, I could only get 1893 Kbps. Better than B4. I read the Sticky Post and installed cablenut. I tweaked my settings and now I get 4120 Kbps. Wish I had found cablenut sooner. You might want to give cablenut a try. I worked wonders for me.

cdobbs Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 I have been having problems with my cox connection the last several weeks. Some of the lesser know sites refuse to come up. I don't know if it is a Cox DNS problem or whether the problem is with my multifunction cable modem router (Motorola SBG1000). Sometimes rebooting the modem helps. For example www.yahoo.com almost always come up, but I have trouble with small sites like www.cdstomper.com. We have 5 different computers in the house and it seems to affect all of them.

disturbed Posted April 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 9, 2005 yeah...i will also ask them if i can get a newer modem...right now im using a terayon TJ 715 - it seems pretty much outdated....i hope i can get a newer one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warped314314 Posted April 9, 2005 CID Share Posted April 9, 2005 New member here. I have cox too, and recently have been getting sub-par connection speeds, not as bad as yours, but I mainly use the connection for games, and I need at least 50ms to play a decent game. Right now I get around 120ms average, not really noticeable for the average gamer, but terrible for me. I called up tech support and they basically said cox cable only resolves issues concerning your web browsing speed. So I got shafted, but im going to try cablenut.

disturbed Posted April 10, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 10, 2005 nice...what modems do you all have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted April 10, 2005 CID Share Posted April 10, 2005 Found this on BBR. disturbed; see if you can open your diag page and get your levels. From BBR: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7363 A: Most cable modems have built-in diagnostics for getting information on the quality of the cable signal coming to the modem. The procedures for accessing these diagnostics vary depending on the brand and model of cable modem you have. If the information below won't get you to these diagnostics, please contact the manufacturer of your cable modem (be it leased or owned). A few modems may have this information in the manual that they came with. For some cable modems, you can access these diagnostics even if the cable modem hasn't obtained block sync. 1) Try this first: Open your browser and navigate to http://192.168.100.1/'>http://192.168.100.1/ (or try holding SHIFT key and clicking the links). This is the most common method of accessing the diagnostics. You may need to navigate a bit from here to access the pertinent information. * 1.A) If you have an Ambit cable modem, you may be prompted for a username and password. The username is root and the password is also root. Some Ambit cable modems have the information you are after on more than one web page. * 1. If you have a RCA cable modem, you may need to navigate to http://192.168.100.1/'>http://192.168.100.1/moreInfo.html to view the diagnostics. * 1.C) If you have a 3Com cable modem, you may need to navigate to http://3comcablemodem.com or http://49.112.50.65 to view the diagnostics. A note about 3Com cable modems: they are notorious for reporting erroneous information, and sifting out the values you will be interested in will be difficult at best. Also, some 3Com modems will prompt you for a username and password, which are User and Password respectively. * 1.D) If you have a Terayon TJ615, navigate to http://192.168.100.1 and type icu4at! at the password prompt (or copy paste it from here). To see the signals go to http://192.168.100.1/'>http://192.168.100.1/modemRfPage. If you cannot access the status page at http://192.168.100.1 (main menu) reboot the cable modem, wait for it to synch and then try. The reboot may be necessary due to the fact that the status page was an afterthought * 1.E) If you have a Terayon TJ715, navigate to http://192.168.100.1/'>http://192.168.100.1/diagnostics_page.html to view the diagnostics. The password is icu4at! * 1.F) If you have a Scientific Atlanta modem, go to http://192.168.100.1. The username is admin and the password is w2402 * 1.G) If you have a SMC8013 gateway, (Business customers) go to http://10.1.10.1. The username is cusadmin and the password is highspeed 2) If none of the above methods work, or if your cable modem does not have block sync, you may need to 'force' a connection directly to the modem. This is done by: * 2.A) Set the IP of your ethernet connection to 192.168.100.254 * 2. Set the Subnet Mask of your ethernet connection to 255.255.255.0 * 2.C) Leave the Default Gateway and DNS Servers blank. * 2.D) Reboot your PC. * 2.E) Repeat step 1) above, as necessary. * 2.F) IMPORTANT! Be sure to set your ethernet connection back to DHCP (Obtain IP and DNS automatically) and reboot when you are done checking the diagnostics or you won't be able to access the internet! Once you have accessed the diagnostics interface in your browser, you need to know which of these statistics are important and what to watch for if you are having difficulties. See the FAQ topic on 'What should my signal/power levels be?' for an interpretation of this information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
