Extreme internet keeps dropping intermittently
I have replace my Extreme modem once and the problem still exists. I work from home and cannot have the internet dropping randomly for any reason - lost $$$. Everytime I test it comes up as blazing fast but then we get intermittent 10-30 seconds drops of the signal which either hangs up the Netflix or freezes my video conferences, etc. I still believe that Comcast has the fastest service available but the reliability is SO bad I don't know what else to do. Please help!

Is this with a WiFi connection ? If so, for a test, does a computer hardwired directly to the router / gateway device with an ethernet cable have the same problem ?

O/k What do the modem's signal stats look like ? Try getting them here http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1
Please post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.
What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?

It is a wireless configuration 99% of the time. However, I did connect directly via a wired connection and it also dropped. Very frustrating. I tried to expand the network and spread out the traffic via a Google mesh network and that did not help either so I removed it and reverted to just the Extreme modem.

I can't login with my proper credentials to get that information. the gateway says that its an incorrect userid which is not true unless I am missing something.

The 192.168.100.1 just spins and never gives me any info. The 10.0.0.1 gives me the first 15 connected devices in a table and some high level info but when I try to login via that page it doesn't recognize my login information.

You are going to be very disappointed with me. I used admin/password, changed the password and thought I had properly saved it to my password app and didn't. Now I just get locked out for 5 minutes at a time for 3 failed attempts. any ideas? Thank you for your patience here.

Bear in mind that if you do do the above, you will lose any customized settings, and they will need to be re-configured from scratch.
