Since getting a THIRD xb6 , I notice that , on my desktop, which is ethernet cable to the modem , keeps changing to wifi for a few seconds, then back to ethernet. Happens intermit. I have tried turning off wifi on my desktop, but still happens. Sometimes it is so quick, the browser doesn't even catch it and other times I get an internet drop popup, and have to refresh.
I recently upgraded to the xb6. My first two, in a period of two weeks, were Arris and the modem kept dropping off the phone. This time I finally got a Technicolor brand, and the phone works great, but this lan/wifi thing happens.
I have an HP desktop about 10 years old running Windows 10.
Anyone seen/heard of this ?
No, I don't have an old HP ruinning Win10.
You might try looking into your Ethernet Settings.
Update: Researching, I found where I could change the duplex settings on my lan. It was set to AUTO, so I changed it to FULL duplex, same problem. I changed to HALF duplex and it works now. Not sure why either my LAN card or the new modem doesn't like full...but it works and I don't see any slowdown with browsing or even speed tests.
