Strange slowdown |
|
|
I am using a Dlink DCM-202 modem and a DL-624 router with Cox cable
service. About every couple of days my connection drops from its normal
3500 to about 600. Unplugging the modem and router and plugging them in
again resolves the problem.
Anybody have an idea of how to prevent the slowdown in the first place?

If that is the ONLY problem, then go get yourself an appliance timer for
about 5 bucks from wal-mart. Set the timer to turn OFF for about an hour
every morning around 2 or 3 AM. Plug your modem into it. If that doesn't
do the trick, plug your router into it instead. I suspect it is actually
the modem though. -Dave |

Actually it was the router - it died a couple of hours ago - it won't power |
on at all. |

Well, at least you figured it out. I'm trying to remember where I saw a
good deal lately . . .
Hmmmm, buy.com had a Belkin wireless for about 30 bucks, sold out of course.
Check Amazon for D-Link DI-524. 30 bucks after rebate, free shipping.
Wireless "G", also. -Dave |

That does seem to indicate where the problem lies... Grin.

I believe Linksys 54g wireless router with 4 port switch is only $50 |
after rebates at BestBuy.
