What if I'm getting Internet service but my speed is
disappointing?
• Be sure you know what speed you're paying for.
• Check the speed with a computer plugged into the modem.
Use one of the tools found when you search the phrase:
broadband speed test.
• If you get good speed when a computer's plugged into the
modem, you may have a router problem.
• Some video streaming services get bottlenecked, especially
at busy times like after dinner. See whether you have the
speed problem at less busy times.
• Try connecting your cable modem nearer to where the
coaxial cable comes into your home. This lets you see
whether your home's cabling is a problem.
• If you're using a splitter with your cable modem, try the cable
modem without the splitter to see if that helps. If it does,
you may need to get a better splitter.
What if I'm told that my cable modem isn't approved for my
cable modem service?
• That's probably not true. Leading cable service providers
have a list of certified cable modems, and you can check the
list for your service provider. You can also find information
about certifications at www.motorolacable.com/services
