Netgear router problem with wifi only (LAN Ok)

Post by nadeaa0a » Tue Feb 19, 2013 7:40 am

Good Day All,

So i have a cable modem (Netgear CG3000D-RG) that has been working perfectly for the past six months until last month.

The router works perfectly when using the LAN cable but becomes very laggy when using wifi. The ping test on wifi is almost 264ms and only 16ms on LAN cable.

Video streaming is a pain in the butt. :(

Tried resetting the router with no benefits at all.

What is weird is the event log. It shows some critical errors on it.

You can find below the event log from the router in addition to the report from the router diagnostic software.

:idea: hello

are you using iptv ? -> contact tech support

if not
your modem is trying to
https://secure.dslreports.com/faq/power ... tions#8560

it is a common problem see
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12/33 ... nging.html

https://secure.dslreports.com/forum/r26 ... ce-ranging

A T3 error is an indication of a potential return path or upstream issue. A colelction of these, large in number, can point to either a local fault or a problem further up the line on the network.

:damnall: Basically a cable modem gets online this way:

The modem scans for a digital QAM channel (which can be digital TV or modem downstream channels) and "listens" for upstream channel descriptor (UCD) information on it (which is only found on modem downstream channels). If it doesn't get the UCD after a few seconds of receiving data on that channel, a T1 timeout occurs and the modem looks for another digital QAM channel.

Once the modem finds the correct downstream channel and receives the upstream channel descriptor, it then waits for its initial opportunity to "talk" to the CMTS. If it doesn't get that chance within 12 seconds, a T2 timeout occurs.

So during initial modem connections, T1 and T2 timeouts are perfectly normal to see in the modem logs.

After locating a downstream data carrier channel, the modem gets its chance to "talk" to the CMTS and sends data to negotiate the proper upstream signal levels and timing. This negotiation process takes several data exchanges between the cable modem and the CMTS. If at any point the modem doesn't receive a response from the CMTS within about 200 milliseconds, a T3 timeout occurs. Several T3s have to occur before a modem resets.

The modem then goes through the DHCP, TFTP, TOD processes and once all are completed the modem is online.

Once the modem is online, the CMTS sends "Periodic Ranging" or keep-alive requests to it every 30 seconds. If the modem doesn't receive one, a T4 timeout occurs. Once 16 of the T4 timeouts have to occurred, a modem resets.

If there is a downstream communication problem, the cable modem might not receive these "keep-alive requests". If the upstream utilization is too high, or too many modems are connected to the same upstream port, it is possible that some modems will not get the required bandwidth or transmit opportunities to respond to the keep-alive requests. Either of these issues can result in T3 or T4 timeouts occurring.
