My system consists of a Motorola/Arris SB6141 modem with a Trendnet TEW-692GR router.
Several times over the past few months I'll lose Internet on this desktop (LAN connected). My VOIP device (Ooma) has remained connected. It is connected to a different LAN port. Currently connecting directly with the modem only.
To be fair I'm just now really getting started researching probable causes and potential solutions. Such as should I flash the router with WRT? Both the modem and router have been in service about 5 years. I have a 100/10 plan from Spectrum which works fine for me but I note they are now offering speeds greated than what the SB6141 handles. Might it be time to also consider an upgrade?
Looking with interest at the combination modem/routers currently available. A feature required is true MAC filtering. I want to block any device that is not listed on my whitelist. So far I've found only the TP-Link AC1750 with this feature. Any comments?
