My G36 WiFi speed is now half the speed as it was before. It is now 212Mas inbps and .07 Mbps upload. It was 408.51Mbps download and 90.42Mbps upload.  

Why has it changed so drastically? 

I have also noticed that this device would go offline on Saturday and would require a reboot as well as having to reboot often due to Wifi connectivity issues on both bands 5,4 and 2.4.

 

Also, why do I have to go through a “community to get support and where do I get real support from this company? 

I am not seeing all the hype with this modem/brand.

Are the internet speed drops happening only over Wi-Fi, or are you experiencing them with wired connections as well?

If the issue occurs on both Wi-Fi and wired connections, we recommend checking the cable signal levels within the gateway. If the signal levels are out of the acceptable range, they can lead to the kind of connectivity issues you're experiencing.

When the signal levels are within the recommended range, your modem can maintain a stable, high-quality connection to the internet

Please refer to the link below for instructions on how to check your cable signal levels:

If you find that the internet speed drops only on the Wi-Fi connected devices , we would suggest trying to change the Wi-Fi channels to improve the connection

It would be helpful to try changing the Wi-Fi channels to reduce congestion and improve the connection quality.
