meade916 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 ok, i have Comcast 50 meg here, it seems fast and all, but we have so many wifi devices i think it is causing issues. I have to reset this bitch 2 times a day because it slows down real bad, almost to a complete halt. here is the router i have D-link DGL 4500 seems like it should be a good one but damn it is pissing me off!! lost a game of madden on PS3 because it disconnected AGAIN mid game. Makes me look like a quitter and i never quit even if its 50-0. can anyone recommend a great router that can handle tons of wifi devices? My ps3, xbox 360 and PC are all hard-wired with a network cable. So i really don't know why this POS keeps messing up.

kickass audio Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) This is the router i have and use: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16833320091 I love having it where i can broadcast a separate network at 5ghz and 2.5ghz and make tons of guest networks and segment the network from the guest to normal network out of the box. It has gigabit ethernet on the lan and wan so you get as much speed as you can dream of and the range on it is amazing. I have the stock rom on it for now but will eventually run the dd-wrt firmware as my old ass linksys had that and it worked perfectly on it. edit: have you tried to update the firmware on the router or maybe flash an alternate firmware to it? I had the same problems on my linksys wrt-54g router (so old school but still works) and the only fix to it was to flash the memory and install the dd-wrt54g firmware and i never had an issue after that.

KillaCam Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 My buddy had that asus black diamond, shit was always fast with lots of wifi devices on it.

I wanna play some madden but i don't wanna go to the store tonight. I guess ill just reboot the router and shut off any device in the house that i'm not using. Just frustrating!

kickass audio Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 disconnecting devices may not resolve the problem. It didnt fix mine when i had the same problem of it kicking devices off at random and having intermittent connectivity delays. Idk what security you have on it all but try to see if there are any connections that are not your devices on the network and boot them off and block it. Its easy to spoof mac addresses but i have mac filtering along with wpa2 encryption for all my networks i setup and broadcast. I would really just save a backup of the firmware to your desktop, connect to the router via lan cable just for the update process and look on the d-link site for firmware and flash the router. After its flashed run a restore from your config file you saved before and see how it goes.

meade916 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ended up getting an RT-N66U. So far so good!! It seems faster but if i can make it a day or two without having to pull the plug and reboot it i will be happy!! Hopefully no more disconnects on PS3 (or xbox for that matter) Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
