[English] CableMax 500 - new router received, but terrible ping and internet is hardly working...

ontonivo — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 12:16:00 GMT

Hello!

I have switched from Cable 200 to Cable Max 500, and have received all papers and a new router today. After having connected it to the cable, and also to my PC and WLAN devices, I have terrible ping numbers and hardly any internet connection. Can't even run any speedtests or even use the diagnostic tools on the router itself, although Router sais it is online and connected.

Can it be that the new contract is not activated yet?

And another question - shall I send the old router (Sagemcom) back to you in original package and with all the accessories?

Best regards.

Hi again! I really need to sort it out asap! My old contaract will be terminated on the 4th of April, and I can not stay without Internet connection, as I am currently working from home.

I hgave tried to connect the new router (Vodafone Station) several times, but the result remains the same - terrible ping and the bandwidth of abt 0.06 mbit, if at all. The phone is not connecting at all. I have been waiting for abt 45 minutes, hoping it will finally work, but nothing happened.

P.S. For sending the old router back everything is clear - I have missed the info in the letter.

Can I expect to have any kind of reply from someone?! I appreciate you are extremely busy now, but my internet connection is also quite critical for my daily work...

Best regards,

Hello ontonivo,

the signal at the modem itself is ok. But the box cannot be reached from here either. Did you try a factory reset? Otherwise I would like to change the modem.

The answers currently take 2-3 days. I'm sorry.

Best regards Fred

Thanks Fred!

Yeah, that's because I kept using my old router, as the new was not connecting to the Internet. It looks like the new contract hasn't been activated until yesterday. I have tried it yesterday again and it finally worked, but for whatever reason the connection is not as stable as it was on 200/12 tariff. I had to restart it already twice in the last 24 hours. Can you try to reach it now and let me know if everything is okay?

Best regards,

Anton

Hello ontonivo,

probably because the new modem can handle more downstreams. Can you please keep it plugged in so I can check it. I will activate the monitoring on the modem.

Best regards Fred

Hello ontonivo,

According to the measurement, hardly any errors are visible in upstream and downstream transmission.Please leave a test in the morning and in the evening. Gladly by screenshot. Please test via LAN directly at the modem, deactivate WLAN and disconnect all remaining devices from the network.

Best regards Fred, happy easter and stay healthy

Thanks Fred!

I think we just leave it as it is. Meanwhile it has stabilized and I do not experience any connection issues anymore. Probably it was just a temporarty problem which we can not track from today. Let's mark it as solved and in case if the problem returns, I will create a new topic with screenshots, etc.

Happy Easter and stay healthy!
Anton.
