Hi,
I am finally getting around to upgrading my modem. The internet speeds are decent, but there has been some slow downs at times, and I'm hoping a new modem will help make a more consistent connection.
Charter Spectrum modem with phone jack.
Upgrading to a Netgear CM400 modem without a phone jack.
The problem is my old modem has a phone jack, and the new one doesn't. From my research, there seems to be only one solution; that is to split the coax line, and send one to the old modem for phone, and the other to the new modem for data. I read that splitting the line could affect the speeds, and that could defeat the purpose of upgrading to a faster a modem.
Does anyone have any experience setting this up? How did it go, and are there any other options?
TIA!
