I have bought a D-link DIR-628, ****** F5D8236-4, Linksys WRT160N and finally the one I own now is the Linksys WRT54G2.
all the other ones I tried for a good 2-3 wks and all of them dropped the line at least 3-4 times within that time. I called support on all of them and they talked me through supposedly fixing the problems and nothing. so one by one I exchanged them. All the others were N not G.
Now I got the WRT54G2 and it was doing fine and it dropped twice now and my sons xbox gets really slow wireless speeds. It was fine for a good while...no problems playing online or watching netflix.
I called support and they game his 360 and ps3 wireless priority and still nothing. Netflix is always saying your connection has slowed and the picture looks like crap after that. I never did that before. Also the 360 online is slow...and it never was before. When I go into the network setting in the 360 everything seems fine...he even has 3-4 bars of connection.
What is going on?? All those routers and nothing.
this is my network at home:
360, ps3, desktop (all wired)
360, ps3, laptop, desktop (all wireless)
All my devices are G none are N. All the routers I mentioned were N because I heard they gave me more range as far as wireless. The WRT54G2 is G.
The one I had was a Netgear WPN824 which I had for about 2 years and it just died. I need some major advice here. I am running out of options. Literally. Thanks.
OH. I have RRunner turbo. The router is about 19 feet away from the consoles with only one wall in between. I own a 5.3 ghz home phone.
