![]() If you aren't getting your internet speeds, even wired, you may be ready for a new modem. If you've found a weak link in your home network and need to upgrade some equipment there are some great options no matter what you need to get going. You may also need to restart your Wi-Fi router at the same time but most of the time the router will be able to reacquire the information it needs without a restart. You can also do it through Spectrum's Internet Troubleshooting Tool as well as the My Spectrum app. You can restart your modem simply by unplugging it for a minute before plugging it back in. Sometimes Spectrum will need to provide new configuration information to your modem and normally these settings will be automatic, but sometimes the modem needs a manual restart to complete the update. If your internet isn't hitting the speeds you expect even right next to your router, you may just need to restart your modem to make sure the settings are correct. Spectrum, in general, is weak for upload speeds so if you're looking to stream at 1080p 60FPS or higher, consider getting the fastest Gig Internet package to access it's 35Mbps upload speeds. Keep in mind, if you are trying to become the next big Twitch streamer, you'll need a faster upload speed. ![]() ![]() The faster your base connection, the faster the rest of your network will need to be to keep up. You can go all the way up to 940Mbps download with Spectrum as long as your area has support. For most people, Spectrum's 300Mbps package is going to be the sweet spot. For a couple of people, the 100Mbps connection will likely be enough but as you add more people, you may find it doesn't hold up, especially with streamers. You can check out your options online or call customer support at 83 to get your package upgraded. If you find out you are getting the speeds you pay for but it's not enough, it may be time for an upgrade.
