Ethernet and Wireless Dropping Consistently
Modem Cisco dpc3010 Router Gryhon ac3000 Plan Preferred 150 I have two computers connected via ethernet and multiple devices connected to wireless (watch, phone, tv) Randomly our internet disconnects and reconnects through the day. It gets worse at night.It affects both ethernet connection and wireless connection. Last night the modem just rebooted all on it's own in the middle of us having a game night. (After disconnecting multiple times throughout the night) When I test our internet via gryhon, we are getting more than 150 which is great but I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the internet dropping all the time. It's frustrating because we've put a lot of money into a router after speeds were ** and internet was dropping which solved the speed but not the dropping. I've tried rebooting my router and modem. Tried disconnecting everything from the wall (power and cable) then reconnecting after 30 min. All firmware is up to date on both modem and router. Tried disconnecting everything connected to the internet except for one computer via ethernet, still drops. I'm just not sure what's going on and I dont have the patience for support to tell me to reset my modem/router then blame it on the 3rd router or 2nd modem I've purchased.

Since Cox never gives me the internet speeds I pay for, will they go down if I downgrade my service?
Title. I pay $100/month for 150 Mbps but never does it get any higher than 25, no matter when I speed test it. I connect straight to the modem via ethernet and can have no other devices and Since my current plan is "up to" 150 mpbs but Cox refuses to provide service close to that, can I just downgrade to the 50 Mbps plan without any change in service, or will they just throttle my internet even more?
