Hoping someone can help me troubleshoot (limited knowledge on my end so I'm trying to learn). We have optimum for a basic cable package and internet. Message on the bill last month that modem rental fee is going to kick in, $5 a month. In addition I'm getting a "free" upgrade to Optimum 60. Decided to try to buy my own modem route. So, after doing some reading online it seems like one of the recommended modems for Optimum is the ARRIS SB6183. Order one off Amazon. Directions to set up read basically plug in coaxial cable, plug in ethernet, plug in power, might have to register with your service provider (Optimum automatically prompts you and that seems to have went fine). All that's done I have internet but initial load on web pages seems painfully slow compared to what I was used to with the old modem.
I ran (what I'm pretty sure is) a basic speed test and it seems okay:
How would I go about troubleshooting/testing or what could i have done wrong?
