Optimum Wifi Suxs, I get it for free and have always avoided it. About the modem fees, yes you're better off spending a few bucks and getting your own, those $10 do add up over time and before you know it you have paid over $1k over time for something you could have bought for $60.

optimum is not using your bandwidth, they provide separate vlan for optimum wifi so they are not shortchanging you, on the other hand i found that many times optimum wifi does not work correctly when it comes out of residential router. I have tried it many times, and there are other issues with this router as well, it is just not reliable to make it short.

idk the installer did say that its separate wifi but its coming from the same router so I'm guessing its similar to a guest wifi which is technically not the same but if both networks are being utilized I'm sure it will show some kind of slow down if used heavily oppose to an wireless router exclusively one wireless access..... I also did the network test and with the new wireless router it was slightly faster.

Optimumwifi only can eat up your bandwidth up to 30Mbps down and 10Mbps up and it doesn’t matter optimumwifi eat up your bandwidth because they provide additional bandwidth for the optimumwifi like for example if you in 50Mbps plan, they will give you up to 70mpbs, if you in 200mbps they will give you 230Mbps also since optimumwifi is created via vlan so that mean is secure but however it does eat up your internal wifi bandwidth since each router can provide an specific total amounts for wifi such as AC1200 that mean your wifi combined with wireless n and ac that is 800mbp for AC and 400 for n so if you divide that into two AC bands that mean your AC band only get 400Mbp. However this does not applied to wire lab connection since each lab port depending how old is it will usually go like this 10/100/1000Mbps per lan port or even more if you are advanced user who use 10Gb for NAS.

It does not slow down your speed. The router has 2 different radios - one for your wifi and another for the optimum wifi. They are hard wired seperately so someone on the optimumwifi network you are giving can't get onto your home network.

Can you answer a question? I only use an IPAD. I have the Arris tm822 and belkin n300 router. I have had this equipment for 5 years. I was supposedly getting 100mbps and now 200mbps. I ran an OOKLA speed test and am only getting 35-38 mbps. They want to send someone to give me a new modem and an Optimum router. I just do not trust them switching out the Belkin router. Any reason why my internet is so slow? I am so aggravated by them and their increasing bills. I was on the phone 6 hours yesterday and I am physically and mentally sick from them. Thanks.... I

Bro it's optimize your router and if your router is locked spectrum users cannot access it therefore it's not considered a hotspot it's a private hotspot which is locked also note the Wi-Fi cost in the modem does not I myself don't have to pay for neither but I also give free Wi-Fi in this modem sucks wouldn't recommend it for anybody as you cannot unlock it like leave it open

Question: my landlord just got an Optimum online today ( switched from Fios) but the wifi reception signal in my apt. (located in the same house) is quite low and cuts in and out now. Can I connect my own wireless router(Netgear Nighthawk) to the Optimum modem to boost the signal? (I have done this before with the old Fios modem, connecting my router to it with a long eternity cable, and having my own router in my apt for great signal)
@NewYorkDashCam

you can connect any wireless router to the optimum modem from my understanding. Fios which i like better but they dont have fios in my area, they have their own wifi connected to the modem in one... but with optimum the modem is separated so you can connect your own wifi router to it.

yes when it comes to the wifi router you can use any router because its independent from the modem, now when it comes to the modem or a modem/wifi combo then it may not be compatible. optimum has a list of compatible modems that work with their service but if its just wifi router any would do.
