Problem description: for about a year, I've been dealing with lovely Internet and have done what I thought I could. I am 99% likely to get a new one because this is a bullshit modem apparently, and my attempt to fix it is like trying to make an ashtray in pottery class out of paper. Attempted fixes: short of breaking it, I've attempted to reset it, open ports, limit connectivity, but it all seems for nothing. coverage is bullshit, speed is laughable, and sometimes so bad that it's easier just to switch my phone to carrier instead of wifi. literally nothing has improved quality of Internet, and I find myself needing to buffer shows to watch 5 minutes at a time. which really sucks. Recent changes: bought an Amazon Firestick and it showed us how bad our internet really is. -- Operating system: Mac OSX Yosemite System specs: ISP Centurylink: modem: C1000a. plan is around 12/mbs. I get like 2 on good days Location: USA I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes I'm sorry that such a simple question made it into its own thread, I couldn't find anything really in the OP and people online are talking gibberish to me. something about how my modem is a 1x1 and people say a 8x4 is better and it needs to be n not a. I don't understand most, if not all of this stuff. thanks so much!
