router problems

[mrfreeze]

So for christmas I got a wireless router. It is a Linksys WRT54G, and for the purposes of playing psp and ds online it works great. But now when I try to do anything on the internet with the actual computer, my browser keeps timing out. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try resetting it to factory defaults, that should do the trick. at least it does for me (I have the same model).

The downside is you have to re-set all your configurations and such, unless you saved them I guess.

I have the same router, you don't have to reset factory defaults--just power cycle it (unplug the power cord ... wait 15 seconds and plug it back in--works for me 100% of the time when my connection times out) and release/renew the DHCP connection. It's under the Status menu from the 192.168.1.1 setup. If you run torrents you'll have to do this often. = /

This begs the question on why torrents kill the connection even when you close the torrent program? Do the sheer number of connections from downloading/uploading torrents just stuff the router's cache or something?

Comcast doesn't like torrents. At all. Also, disconenct both cable modem and router power, reconnect the router, let it do it's thing for 5 mins or so, then reconnect the cable modem. The cable modem gets all retarded and it'll sometimes affect the router. Welcome to my world.

I have Comcast and I have no problems with Torrents. I regulary get speeds of 800KB/s on a healthy torrent and I haven't had to power cycle or reconfigure in months.

He lives about 5 minutes from me. So he's more or less on the same end of the network as I am.

Considering that I live like less than 45 minutes from both of you, I'm pretty sure the network doesn't radically change as you move east, unless the "Detroit Area" is a totally seperately managed segment.

you could both do a whois on your IP addresses and see if what is returned matches up or not.
