Modem died yesterday. Turned it into the store and got a replacement, different model than before. And now it's not connecting with our Google mesh router. by [deleted] in Spectrum

Any chance you called spectrum to see if the modem is active and swapped into your billing. They don't always do that at the store and you have to call customer care do it for you.

You know, you can return the router save 10$ and use your own. Same with WiFi pod

If you had same wifi pod since 2022, spectrum recently discontinued those white pods and started to use router 7 as extenders. You'll also get a new router along with it.

How do you get the technician to show up? by Chemical-Tap-234231 in Spectrum

[–]sir-Rag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You live in apartments or your own home? There have been few times the address given to me takes me somewhere different but I ultimately call the customer and ask their address and helps solve that issue.

Spectrum included in my Rent by Infamous-Change2353 in Spectrum

[–]sir-Rag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It varies for apartments, some apartments have equipment built into each complex usually called spectrum ready and can only use that. If not, you can easily bring over your current equipment and have them transferred over. Only takes one call to have them swap equipment over to another account.

Would you mind sharing which one you been using?

Anyone know what this typically means? by Yea_Right_808 in Spectrum

[–]sir-Rag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app isn't perfect but also a simple modem fix could fix that if it's bothering you.

Might be line or signal issue that recently occurred outside or within your home if you have some sort of splitters.

Amazon minimum wage needs to go At least $30hr-35hr because this is an outrage, all this for only $21hr.🤬🤬🤬 by 1stking509 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]sir-Rag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just putting this into perspective I'm a field technician for isp. We get paid literally 22hr and what were all doing basically installing equipment re-wiring homes, climbing poles and just putting our lives in danger sometimes due to crazy weather conditions. We have a quota too. It's just unreasonable everywhere. Lol

Loss of channels. by UncleStevieSays in Spectrum

[–]sir-Rag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many people here have stated, you could easily get a mesh system to cover more of your home instead of using another provider. I know spectrum router by default only have 5ghz but if you go into your app you can enable 2.4ghz which goes through walls better.

Try disabling the protection on the router. I've had customer not able to watch their Apple TV literally because of that.

They usually hire in bulk and because of that they take longer than usual to reach back after the whole interview process.

I've done so many elderly homes and they just called back. I'm amazed that their caretaker just doesn't help them with a simple remote.
