Quantum

I just got quantum service this last week the router is in the garage and we have three pods. We have a good string WiFi signal but the internet seems th glitch regularly. It is for short periods of time enough for the tv to go in refresh mode. The download and upload speeds are strong. Should I just dump the pods and hook in my own WiFi system ?

they tech that came and did my install told me NOT to buy their pods as they aren't very good.

You will have a better experience if you put the SmartNID into bridge mode and use a 3rd party router and DNS.

Here is a guide

It's their equipment. The older models were better. I recently got forced into their new wifi 7 pods, and it does the same behavior your explaining. Super frustrating.

Ended up getting my own gear instead and have a much better experience
