Web browsers are your gateway to the internet or World Wide Web. Browsers contain a lot of features that make your online experience more efficient. This includes things like tabs that allow you to open different web pages at the same time, and “bookmarks” or “favorites” that let you save

Spectrum Internet speeds increased may require new modem and/or router
|
|
|
|
In the past few months, Spectrum Internet has increased their base download speed from 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps. In order to get the new speeds on some of your devices, you may need to get a new internet modem from Spectrum. Also, you may need to get a new internet router - the device that allows you to split your internet connection with many devices in your household - which is capable of "gigabit" speeds. Spectrum has been notifying customers that need new modems, and sending a new modem to
self-install. If you need help setting up the new modem, or purchasing and installing a new Wi-Fi router, please contact us via either method below.
