Bridged modem - wifi quality

[kpb]

Has anyone using a bridged Shaw modem with their own router, noticed that the reliability of wifi has gone down recently?

I experience this issue at two different locations (2 shaw accounts).

I have shut down all network devices multiple times, waited, and then brought each device online one at a time. Still, nothing changes.

I guess I am curious if network upgrades have caused this.

I recently tried running my network using just the Arris XB6 modem / router combination with and without BlueCurve pods. Unfortunately network performance wained as I found when I originally got this device. I have since rebridged the modem/ router and reintroduced my AirPort Extreme back into the mix.

Back to fast wifi performance around the house.

Hey kpb,

Thanks for reaching out. I haven't heard of any reports of this issue, I have a similar set up at home and they work together with no problems. Since the modem is bridged and you are using a 3rd party router for your WiFi, it may be a setting or WiFi interference causing issues. I'd recommend troubleshooting the router (factory reset) and to optimize your WiFi to see if that helps.
