I've been using D-Link ADSL for about 4-5 months now. My connection is AT&T but I might switch because of the constant drop out. It might just be my wire setup but every 3-4 weeks it drop. I just got a 2Wire 2701 HG-B and does the same thing. I just got my connection back, however, which do you guys think is better? The only thing I like about 2Wire is the looks and the menu online for D-Link is much more easier. Thanks for the answer. I just got 2Wire 6 hours ago for $100 and I got D-Link for $65. But I don't really think it has something to do with my router/modem for internet being dropped out but maybe just the wiring and I barely have signal inside the home but it's good outside IDK why. My older 2Wire died after 1.5 years of use not sure so that's why I bought D-Link. I might just stay with 2Wire for now though. (last sentence) D-Link*

Wireless-N D-LINK DIR-615 router keeps loosing its connection with the ADSL modem from my broadband ISP. I found a solution and wanted to share it with you: http://dir615routerproblem.sc42.info/D-Link_DIR-615_disconnect.html Have you experienced the same problem with your router?

Well actually it's my dad's. And it doesn't have any extra places to put a wireless router into it, which is what I tried to use. We are with tiscali and have a really slow dial up connection, and my dad won't bother trying to replace it with a more modern modem, unless I can show him how simple it is! The problem is I have no idea how to go about it... Can it be changed to a wireless internet connection easily, without the need of a router? Any suggestions? Thanks :) Oh and the reason I want wireless is so things like iPods and Playstation 3 and laptop can also receive internet.

I wanna know if there is any way to download torrent files that should be downloaded by softwares such as utorrent and etc. with a DVB card. I have ADSL conncection but it's really low at speed. is it possible to do it by softwares such as sky grabber or else. thanks

Test run on 08/03/2010 @ 03:41 PM Mirror: Optus Data: 3 MB Test Time: 12.07 secs Your line speed is 2.03 Mbps (2030 kbps). Your download speed is 254 KB/s (0.25 MB/s) these wer my results from a speed test i just ran, im meant to be on adsl+2 which is meant to be double the speeds im getting, i live 3km from my exchange & they said that should be the reason though other people (same area) are getting much higher speeds on the same plan, should i complain more or is it reasonable?

I'm with AAPT, 6Gb a month and it says that my speed shaping is 512kbps. I've got this Wireless Router that says 802.11g/2.4Ghz and a ADSL modem that says DSL - 302G, personally i have no idea what that means. On a normal download (not torrent) its maxed at 52.4kbps. How can i make my speeds (download & upload) go faster than that.

I have TV, internet, phone service, every without going through the residential cable company. There's been nothing running through the cable outlets since they were disconnected years ago when I switched to ADSL (no channels, no internet). I have 4 outlets not in use. Can I plug the line from the satellite dish into a cable outlet closest to it, and then connect my satellite receiver's cable line to the outlet nearest it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am using ADSL and for the last couple of days my internet has stopped working. It is not my modem or internet provider as we have been over every of the settings time and time again and everything seems to be working fine but I'm still unable to connect to the internet.

I can look the difference when downloading an torrent file connected through a router(low speed) and direct to Adsl modem(high speed). upgraded the firmware also same problem.

I have Telstra Bigond, ADSL on a 256kbps plan. But the other day, we randomly got a speed upgrade. Testing it on www.ozspeedtest.com, I got a line speed of 1.30MB/s. I definitely did not upgrade it, though I was thinking about it. I checked my Internet account on the Bigpond website, and the information is unchanged, it still says I'm on the account I was on before. Not that I'm complaining... But does anyone have any idea of how this could have happened? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Hi, My sister bought an iPod touch, but when we are trying to connect it to the internet (we have a wireless ADSL modem connection on our computers), and we type in our internet password, there is always a connection mistake with wi-fi. So, I dont really know what password or what to do to connect to the internet!! :S please help me!! lol how long would it look roughly?? oh yeah and ive Gone to Start-Run-Type in CMD Typed IPCONFIG Looked at the third set of numbers (Default Gateway) but there's nothing there just a colon:

Recently had the computer motherboard and internal power replaced due to a storm (which also roasted my old modem). I have a NetComm NB6 ADSL 2+ modem router which I connect via an ethernet cable. On start up, the internet will not connect automatically like it used to, I have to manually tell it to connect - it works fine then. IP address is DNS address are both set to automatic - everything is the same as it was before when it was working. The new motherboard has seemed to cause the problem where it doesnt connect to the net on start up. Any ideas how to fix this? I am not very knowledgable with computers, so will need basic step by step guides. Thanks a lot!

I current have a ADSL which is 265Kps but I'm thinking of changing to a ADSL2+ which has a shaping speed of of 128K/128K. Which would be faster for downloads? Yeah, my current download speed is around about 30kb/s and i can't find out if the 'new' provider is in bites or bytes but here is a link to the site if that helps anyone. http://www.tpg.com.au/products_services/adsl2plus_pricing.php?gclid=CM2nyuiWnqACFRGlagodZnuSTw

I have a tp-link TD-W8910G ADSL router and when I was updating the firmware, I accidentally disconnected the power. Now I cannot access my router. Is there anyway to recover the router to the factory firmware state? FYI. the reset button at the back of the box is not helping. This is very important : the router shutdown during a firmware upgrade. So it means that the firmware is corrupted now. Now is there anyway to recover the router?

I live in Victoria and I just got Steam. I have a Bigpond Broadband ADSL plan (it's slow but it works) and I have a tiny data plan (only 12GB a month). I want to download The Orange Box, but I can't because my maximum allowed monthly download limit is 3GB a month. Is there any way I can download Games from Steam (such as Garry's Mod or Aliens vs Predator) unmetered (not using up my download limit)? Thanks for any help.

Confused by every the different types and features of routers I have looked at. I would like to find the right wireless router, I don't have one currently but desperately need one. My internet speed is 1160.1 kbps on Att DSL which is supposed to be 1.5 mbps? I think I would benefit from a Dual N wireless router to run videos and stream music online and connect both my desktop and laptop? But am unsure I can take advantage of its capabilities with slow internet speed. Right now I just receive buffer issues with my att provided speedstream 5100 ADSL modem. Which router is best for me?

IMy colleague has asked me to post this question. "I have an Acer Travelmate 3043wTMi The computer will pick up broadband by connecting it to an Ethernet HomePlug. It will connect to the internet when using a hotspot supplied by a major telephone company. However, I am unable to use WiFi with my Netgear connection at home or in any other equivelent location. Even sitting beside my desktop with it connected to the internet I receive a "waiting for users to connect" message even with a 100% reception The NETGEAR on the "Connection to a network" screen says "The settings saved on this computer for the networks do not match the requirements of the network" My Netgear is a Wireless ADSL Modem Router DG834G v3 I have been in contact with Netgear and my broadband supplier and with the Acer technical team. The Netgear technician says its the fault of the computer. The Acer people say its the fault of Netgear. every I know is that I cannot receive WiFi connections, which is particularly awkward as I spend a lot of time away from home. Can you advise me? Thanking you in anticipation" Hopefully some members can help - I can't :(

I bought my kid a new slim PS2 and we've connected the ethernet port (built in) to our ADSL router - that every works OK and we can look the online servers. But when he tries to receive connected to the Australia Central Server (or something like that), it asks for a username and password! Where the heck do we receive that? Some forum posts refer to using two 7-digit codes on the network adapter packaging ... but our network adapter is built in! It didn't have any packaging!! Plus he went and threw away the box that the PS2 came in so I can't even check if it's somewhere else like on the box. Please help! Is there some other way to receive these mysterious numbers? Why aren't they printed on the PS2 case, for pete's sakes? And what do I do with them anyway? How does that receive us the "username and password" we need? Any help would be appreciated ...

I have U.S.Robotics Wireless ADSL Getaway. It was connected to my old Desktop. I also use this wireless network to connect to internet with my new laptop. I want to move my old desktop away so I bought a Belkin Wireless Usb Adapter. So that it could detect my internet connection from the next room. When I removed the cable and plugged in the belkin usb adapter it detected my internet connection for few seconds.It keeps connecting and losing connection. It is still right next to my router but it cant establish a stable connection. What am I doing wrong?

I have ADSL and have noticed my usage stats don't stack up against how much i actually use, i would be lucky to download/upload 20gb a month but i'm consistently getting stats from my provider saying i'm using in excess of 45gb, i don't have Wireless, just a NetComm 8 port ADSL modem. Is it possible for someone to connect to my PC and subvert my connection for their possess use? I run a Windows 7 Desktop, an XP Desktop and an XP Laptop with the two XP units running Zone Alarm Security Suite and the Windows 7 unit running Mcafee Security Centre, if that makes any difference. thanks in advance. My account has a password which i believe is stored in the modem or modem files from when i initially set it up. And Yes to the 2nd answer, my connection is on 24 hours a day unless i'm going away, then i turn off the modem until i return. Otherwise it's always turned on.
