AirPort Extreme WiFi Problems with COX Gigablast Fiber
I recently installed COX Gigablast fiber optic internet service and elected to stay with my (2) AirPort Extreme wireless routers, instead of using the Netgear router which they provided. I didn't think anything of it because the Tech that did my install said "we get the same speeds with the Airport Extreme's as we do the Netgear...", so I didn't think much of it. During the install I was getting 950Mbps both download and upload via hard wired connection, and 300-400Mbps via wireless connection. Over the next day or so, I noticed Netflix was serving a low-res picture on the TV, like it was on a limited wifi network. After doing some speed tests at Speedtest.net, the wired connection speed was very erratic and the wireless connection had plummeted to ~30Mbps. I reset the Airport Extreme Routers, but to no avail.
I had a COX tech come out and he said that the AirPort Extreme had to have IPV6 turned "OFF". This seems to have corrected the wired connection's instability.
The wireless connection, however, is still obismal! Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, I would really appreciate any resolution. The COX Tech told me that they have been telling Apple that they have a bug with the Airport Extreme when it's used with their Gigablast service, and that "after Apple's repeated denial of the problem, they had just proved to Apple that the issue was with the AirPort Extreme, and not with COX." He also told me that I was on my own because they only guarantee the hard line connection speed, "because there are too many variables when it comes to WiFi signal."
Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
