    Weird issue with cable modem, speed, and connection


    I have an Arris cable modem from Spectrum. It has 4 ethernet out ports. For many months i've been running two ethernet cables out from it, 1 directly to my PC 3 feet away, and one to the router for the rest of the house.
    reason: if i go to the router, then out from that to my PC, i get about 65 Mbps. If I ran direct from the modem to my PC, I always speedtest at my full 120 Mbps. I gave up trying to figure out why my router was only yielding roughly half speed, and since a direct ethernet from modem worked, i left it at that.
    This morning upon turning on the PC, i had no internet on my PC. I checked, and the rest of the house is fine. Now, no matter what, I can't get internet to the PC on the direct line from the modem. If I run a line from the router to the PC, it works, but still at ~50% speed
    I have tried:

    • all network reset commands (netsh winsock reset, etc)
    • rebooting PC
    • rebooting modem (twice)
    • windows updates, incl drivers
    • running network troubleshooter
    • running ONLY direct line from modem to PC (pulled line from modem going to router)
    • switched ethernet wires
    • using 2nd ethernet in port on PC
    by the way, months back, in trying to solve the 50% speed problem, I went out and bought a new router with all the latest standards, and to my amazement, still got 50% speed. So yeah, I have no idea what's going on.

  2. Unable to connect to Cable Modem


    I have an issue with my Windows 10 PC not connecting to my cable modem by ethernet cable. I connect the PC to the modem and all I get is "unidentified network - no internet", yet my laptop connects to the modem by ethernet (I'm using it now) just fine. I've tried everything I can think of to get my PC to connect to the modem, but nothing has fixed the problem so far. I can connect my phone to the modem fine by wifi as well, so the modem isn't the issue - or is it? Yesterday I had no issues with connecting to the modem and internet until I had a "blue screen event" and when the computer rebooted, I had the yellow triangle ! ever since.

    Please HELP!!
