k i've posted before but it seems like it's gotten really bad as of late and i cant figure it out, i have Shaw Extreme-i internet with a brand new Dlink DIR-655 router, normally there are 2-3 computers on it hardwired, and then usually a PS3 or 360, occasionally wireless Wii
this used to happen with my old WRT-300N router as well, but the wireless signal was very weak and i think the router was coming to it's end anyways
but even with this stupid brand new router occasionally while surfing the web i notice that pages slow down and stop loading all together, the net then kinda drops out, if i give it a minute or 2 it will pop back up, the pages i was waiting for will load, and things like MSN, utorrent, etc. will all pop back up and open since they just reconnected
also today when i was screwing around with my PC and i reset it, the internet took so long to connect that the little symbol for network comes up and it's "aquiring network address" it took like a minute for my PC to finally connect
a speedtest i just did:
this is what the router looks like at idle when the computer has just started up:
today while i was trying to run a online virus scan it only worked once out of 5 times i tried it, in all those other times it just sat idle at one spot not scanning or even able to move to the next screen this was the log during that time:
and finally i just noticed my wireless kicked out and came back as i was tryping this, so this is the log from that, i'm not sure if the wired connections dropped at thie time as well or not
any ideas?? is there any way to check the modems log? I have a Motorolla SB5101
i told shaw i thought my modem might have been the culprit and see if they would give me a new one if they now carry a newer model, but they just kept telling me the only way i would receive a new one is if a technician came in and did a full diagnosis
any ideas?
