I WISH COX SUPPORT WOULD GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON THE MB8600 MODEM ISSUES!

I've been intermittently taking speed tests and seeing if things have changed, as I'm sure you have as well. I also checked my router settings, and for some reason I had dynamic QoS on which may have been affecting my speed tests, because when I turned it off and then tested again this morning (unfortunately, before I had tested today, so I am unsure if it actually had an effect), I was up to between 400-500Mbps, and when I just tested now I got up to 535Mbps. So, either it's a gradual improvement, or perhaps some other fluctuation.

Steelbender you should try a speed test without your router. Connect a computer using a cat cable directly to your cable modem and eliminate your router all together for testing purposes. There might be another router setting that is still affecting your speeds Report back.

I was thinking about that, but I have been lazy. ;) But yeah, I do realize that would be the best test. It's just odd because I haven't changed any other settings that I could think of that would affect speeds like this.

seper8tor for testing purposes do you think you can try bypassing your router and connect directly to your modem with a cat cable to a computer. It solved Steelbender's speed issue and he was able to determine it was actually his router that was the bottleneck. I'm wondering if your router might also be the culprit. Not to say you don't actually have a Cox issue.
