Q: Time Capsule + modem advice (arris?)
Hi all-
Looking for advice on a new setup, with particular care given to the Arris SB + Time Capsule debacle.
My current setup:
TWC 100mbs + Arris SB6141 + Time Capsule.
Worked great (guess I was lucky) for a year, then moved and upgraded internet. Now I get the flashing yellow and DNS errors, with no luck resolving as I had before.
New setup (not working):
TWC 200mbs + Arris SB6141 + Time Capsule.
Not only can I not get this working, but the SB6141 won't support up to 200mbs as I understand it. So I need to make some changes to the modem regardless.
My questions is:
Here's where I need some help. What's the ideal setup in my situation? I think I have a few options with some questions:
- I buy a new non-Arris modem. Does anyone have any suggestions for what would work well in my setup?
- I buy a new Arris modem, like the SB6183. Does that work with TC and better than the 6141?
- I buy a new router and a new modem and use the TC in bridge mode (<- think I got that right)? Any suggestions for a new router if people think this is best?
Any thoughts on how to best proceed? I work with video fairly often for work, so ideally get this worked out. My other devices are a couple macs, an apple tv, phones... nothing crazy.
Thanks!
