Best Router for 60Mbps Multimedia Internet: ARRIS-237A Alternatives & Cable Options

Question

Hello, Sorry for the new post, but I found the last similar one from 2014, and 5 years in technology is an abyss. I also have internet with 60 Mb / s multimedia I got ARRIS-237A from multimedia. And there is a tragedy in general :( 60-70% of the time, the internet works fine, but there are times...

I also recommend the Mikrotik family, great quality but prices quite high, as for UniFi from Ubiquiti, I have installed it many times, but it usually works in large rooms, in school corridors, in hotel lobbies or wedding halls, as for home and penetration through several walls , frankly speaking, it works poorly. In my opinion, a sufficient solution for an average user is the Archer C1200 with three antennas, not to be confused with the AC1200, which sows less, compared to typical cheapest home routers, the 2.4 GHz range usually increases by about 1-3 lines depending on the type of material in the ceilings / walls.

The service technician is right - the modemorouter / operator modem must stay. You will not replace it with anything else than with other equipment from the operator.

So in that case my hands are tied. Nothing can be done? Inserting a modem behind this device does not make sense.

geniusm · Answer

If you are connected to their modem with a cable and you have problems with the Internet, it will not be better after adding your equipment.

And you use this Internet via Wi-Fi at home, or are you connected to a multimedia device by cable? Because maybe something with Wi-Fi is wrong. Then you have to do the tests locally.

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

If you ask about the operator's equipment, unfortunately, but this one has to stay. Good question. @loginiarz If you are connecting via cable to the modem, test: Put that test in here - the result must be certified! If after wifi, test: And here put the measurement result.

Wi-Fi Hands are dropping, even now I had to switch to internet from my phone to reply to the post.

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

@loginiarz The network works on channel 6 - avoid channels 1, 6 and 11. Switch the wifi modem to a different channel.

geniusm · Answer

It would be best to connect by cable and make sure it is not the link / modem fault. Only later should I look for a problem in the operation of wi-fi.

Unfortunately, it did not help. I will report tomorrow.

And only now I noticed another issue when I move my laptop to the room where the internet modem is starting to work properly.

Here you have the answer, either you live in a block of flats and there is huge interference at 2.4 GHz, or you live in a house and the walls are made of slag, and the slag can suppress the WiFi signal and the cellular signal. If you are further from the router, check on the laptop how many lines of range you have, if it drops from 5 to 2 it is a range problem, while if you have 5 or 4 everywhere, it is a problem with interference, and it's a matter of agreeing with the operator to replace the router with a router with two frequency ranges: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. What company do you have your router?

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

@tobiaszliszka As with 2.4GHz it has such a problem, with 5GHz it will have even greater. 5GHz through walls works even worse. I already omit that network cards in computers must also have dualband.

tobiaszliszka · Answer

I wrote clearly that if it has 4 or 5 lines everywhere, I suggest replacing the router, currently every newer laptop has two network ranges, unless people here where people work can afford better laptops, because most of them are when we install optical fibers in villages . If it's a block, I bet that there is simply interference, and it will not do anything, only 5GHz will save it. I have a symmetric of 300/300 Mb / s in the block and the maximum speed of 2.4 right next to the router did not exceed 20 mega sometimes, I changed the router and despite the fact that I do not have AC on my laptop and I do not link above 867Mbps, it still goes without a problem 270 / 270 Mb / s.

loginiarz · Answer

I live exactly in a block of flats. Most often it is 5 dashes, but there are moments when it can drop to two. The router is the one for multimedia, i.e. ARRIS-237A broadcasts in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, in my opinion, weak equipment, zero configuration options (only the channel and the name of the network through the mm side). I don't know, maybe I can buy a really good router and put it right behind the cable?

tobiaszliszka · Answer

I do not know what it looks like on ARRIS, but with us on Dasana, the administrator can change all parameters, while an ordinary user can only change the password, SSID, channel, etc. I wonder what your Channel Bandwidth is at 5GHz. And when your laptop is linked, often the laptop has a 20 MHz channel width forced on the wifi card. If you want, write to priv

I do not know what to do next, I wrote to my friend without a response - I understand that he may not have time.

I am trying to buy this one and release it right for ARRIS (lan45).

Maybe it will slightly muffle other APs in my apartment?
Good idea?

qwty · Answer

In this budget, maybe it is better to get interested in something than Ubiquiti or Mikrotik? For example, Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-LITE or Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-LR

So thanks to the advice of my friend Tobiasliszka I bought an acher c1200 router, from previous posts I determined which channels to use and so far it flashes. It's not always great, but it's definitely more bearable
