I rarely use the wireless function of this device. It does seem to have rather poor connectivity via wireless LAN. Wired connections on the other hand have been nothing less than perfect for me. Ask your cable company to send you to level two support or equivalent. The techs there should be able to do more for you and possibly update firmware and send you recursive packet that should help stabilize your connection. Level one support will only try to schedule a technical visit or tell you that you are SOL.

I am not using it on time warner but have experienced exactly the same thing. when I contact Cox cable in Wichita Kansas regarding this issue, they tell me it is the hardware and to contact netgear. netgear tells me that it's Cox. I'm of the opinion lies with the cable company but am not 100% on that.

A word of advice. log into the router setup page (192.168.0.1: username: admin. Password: password) and enter the wireless settings, then pick a channel for the wireless connection. "auto" which it is set to by default, will have random disconnections. Going off personal experience here with model purchased from my ISP.

I have somewhat the same issue with Cox internet in Kansas. A modem restart will fix the problem for at least a day or two. I think it's a connectivity issue with the modem. I didn't answer your question at all, but at least your not the only one.

It depends on what you mean when you say the "signal gets shoddy." I was unable to connect except on one spot on my fourth floor (with the main connection on the second floor). There was only one spot where I could get almost-consistent signal quality on the fourth floor until I got the Netgear WN3000RP, which I placed in that "sweet spot." I still have the rare dropout and I mean rare. My advice? Unless your signal is just completely lousy, try it. You can always return it.

I just came across this discussion. I just got this thing 2 months ago, and it was fine until a couple of weeks back when it started connecting only sporadically. I can still connect with a cable to the modem, but not wirelessly. When I check the hardware device manager I get an error Code 10 for the Atheros Network Card Adapter. I have been having trouble finding a driver to download, as I am hoping its a driver problem, but I think the card is bad. Very frustrating. I'm assuming they would just fix it and send it back, not send a new one, as I have a lot of things on here I don't want to lose. Is it a hassle sending it back? I just came across this discussion.

I bought my WRT54G router back in October. Hooked it up to a desktop running on Windows XP and a laptop running wireless with Windows Vista. Without fail practically every moth since purchase, I will lose the wireless connection and end up having to call Linksys. They do walk me through correcting the problem, but this takes an hour, hour and a half out of my day every time it happens. I've heard all kinds of stories from the Linksys techs as to why this keeps happening, but bottom line... I'm looking for a new router.

Do you lose internet connection when under heavy load (streaming movies, transferring files, etc?). On the old firmware version, I had problems with the router cutting out when the wireless connection was under heavy load and requiring a reboot. The newer firmware certainly helps, but sometimes it happens. I know it's the wireless flaking out because the wired ethernet ports work fine. Definitely try Kevin's suggestion first. Belkin has been pretty good technically when it comes to support. If the modem has internet connection, but the router doesn't, I would make sure the cable between the router and the modem is okay.

I was asking myself the same question as I am also an AT&T Uverse user considering the purchase of this extender. On reading through the reviews posted on Amazon, I found the following.............. Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender (Personal Computers) Finally!! An extender that just plugs in and works perfectly! If you have a 2Wire 3800 HGV-B, get this extender, because it will work, and work great. I first bought the Hawking HWREN1 extender, and after spending hours trying to get it to work, it would repeatedly disconnect. After calling customer service, I was told that it won't work with 2Wire products. So frustrating! Next, I bought the Engenius ERB9250 extender, and that wouldn't work either. Their customer service was atrocious. I couldn't connect to anyone for technical support; despite calling back repeatedly, all I got was a voicemail message. I would never buy another product from them. All I did with this extender is plug it in, push the WPS button on my router and on the extender, and it connects. Then, you just connect to the new address, which is your SSID + EXT. And that's it. I'm very happy with the product.

I not not sure what the problem is but it could have something to do with where and I using the internet. I had no problems when I was at home but I have recently connected to a hotel internet signal during my stay with them and it get the same error. When plugged the ethernet cable in it worked fined. This leaves me to believe either my wireless board is fried, firmware has been lost, or the hotel has some sort of internet filter that prevents devices like Roku and Play Stations to drain their bandwidth.

This modem was not intended for personal use. It was created for ISP use only, which is why some people may experience wireless incompatibility.If you purchase this modem to use as a customer owned modem on Time Warner Cable's service, it is very unlikely that WiFi will work, especially if you live in Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, or South Carolina.In short, internet should function fine, but I would not purchase this expecting wireless service on Time Warner's network.

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

I recently bought this and had a TWC technician installed it. It worked but was painfully slow with frequent timeouts. I am in the West LA area.Update: I followed the instructions here and it now works flawlessly!http://www.amazon.com/review/R1AQJGRSXFZGX1/ref=cm_cr_quotes_dprb_1?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00D35XKW4&nodeID;=541966&store;=pc

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

Dear Little mouse - I have the exact same problem and it started around 01-AUG-2008 as well. TimeWarner has been out numerous times, they've replaced cables and taps, but the problem still persists. Has anyone been able to offer any meaningful help?

I am currently using it on Time Warner Cable of Wisconsin. Only requires a simple call to customer service to register the modem. Works like a charm.

Update 02/02/15 -- TM822G NA-0 is the model I have and it works fine.I purchased the TM822G in April of 2013. This model has worked just fine since day one. I called Comcast, they got it up and working with Internet. I had to call a different number to get it provisioned for my phone but that took about 10 minutes and from there I was up and running with cable, internet and phone. 1.5 years later and I haven't had a single issue. I have the Extreme 50 and usually get better than that throughput.I always recommend that people read through the Amazon reviews, there are a couple of post that tell you EXACTLY how to get it provisioned correctly.

Probably because Consumer Reports tests products when they are new. Mine worked fine for a few mo. and then suddenly lost its ability to connect to the internet wirelessly. After several phone calls to customed support and ying to fix the problem remotely, I finally had to box it up and send it in fo repairs. Working fine now but who knows for how long.

The key issue I found this device fix for me is the channels dropping off due to the upstream power having to stay at the top of the range. After a period of time, the modem would drop a channel off. Are all three channels bonding consistently? The Megapath speed test (free) will show your ping, jitter, and dropped packets of your internet connection. I utilized this device only after 3 site visits by the cable company failing to correct the problem. My specific situation put the power observed between 42 and 49. I do find from time to time I have to reboot my modem still, but overall the speed and stability is much better, and I have their most premium service. I would have the cable company (using screen shots of your megapath testing) come out and address the issue, as they may tweak their system to address the ping issue. However, depending on your service provider, be ready for a difficult process. I had to purchase my own Motorola modem first to prove them wrong on their statements about my equipment (their rental unit), my house wiring, etc.

My wndr3800 is 7 months old and the 5ghz "radio" just crapped out. I've tried every thing a user can but unless the transmitter comes on, nothing can be done. The 2.4ghz "radio" still works OK, its just a lot slower. I "upgraded" from a good g-band router just to get the extra speed so I'm somewhat ticked off to say the least. Netgears phone support tells me my coverage expired after 90 days. Gee, I hope they don't overextend themselves being too generous with their warranty coverage. I guess there is a good reason to pay more to get a Linksys router. Their support was always very good. My wndr3800 is 7 months old and the 5ghz "radio" just crapped out.
