TEK_Speedy Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) I seem to be having a problem. I've always had this problem living here. My internet connection is horribly unstable. I have a D-LINK WBR-1310 router. I run on a 12mbps cable connection. The internet is always fast, but it gets "hiccups" which can d/c me out of teamspeak/ventrilo servers, or stop downloads. I have opened all my ports, hell I've even entered DMZ mode, with no luck. The router has a gaming mode which is always on, I think that helps in games, because when I'm in a multiplayer game, downloads or ventrilo never d/c. I have tried different networking drivers for my wireless d-link pci card. which is a GW something. I was wondering if I could get any help, maybe theres a program out there I dont know that can monitor this or something. The router is about 10 feet away, through 1 thin wall. (even have the antennae pointed at my pc) Thanks guys. Edited February 27, 2007 by TEK_Speedy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGuru1 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Could be the router, I've found the 1310's to be a bit dodgey. If you have the option, try something like a Linksys WRT54G and see if it helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdy284 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Is there a microwave or maybe a 2.4Ghz cordless phone nearby? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEK_Speedy Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 When I worked for Nintendo handling Wii connectivity problems 90% of the time it was a WRT54G. Buying a new router is out of the question at the moment, though I think I'll buy a new D-Link soon as I can afford one. I just spent the last 2 hours downloading something, and its stuck at 72%, to try and fix it I paused it, and resumed it with the hope it may start again but no luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nan0click Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Not a solution, but for your downloading problems, try a download manager, FDM works well, and its free (Free Download Manager). I think that's what its called, try googling it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoArmistead Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Do you get these hiccups only while connected to your router, or do you get them when wired directly to the modem? I'd look into that if you haven't already. I was experiencing this for a few months last summer, thinking it was my router. Turns out some drunk guy had gone out one night and hacked the cable trunk line with an axe and no one knew it. There was moisture getting down into the cable trunk line and shorting out all the connections in the area for a few seconds at a time. I'm not trying to say some drunkard took a hatchet to your intarnets, but it could possibly be an outside problem you are experiencing.

Now your talking problems D link. My Linksys WRT54G has been working fine with almost 30 machines using it for several years now.

TEK_Speedy Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Doing the direct line isn't an option. 3 people use the internet in the house, and if for one moment they don't have their precious internet while I'm trying this they will freak.

Fireonice Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Try restarting your router. I know when my linksys WRT54G gives me problems i restart it. Also are people on your connection useing P2P. I know thats what causes my router to screw up and act funny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
