I'm still bothered with the latency between you and 10.45.208.1, but cannot pinpoint since it seems it's not responding to ICMP requests in your ping stats.

Also, anytime you switch network devices from the modem it needs to be rebooted- this is because it remembers the last MAC address it synced ...

Jammin1968- you're probably better off starting a new thread with your issues as this one pertains to the WiFi specific issue, ya know?

You'll attract more 'help' with a properly tagged thread. The Software forum might be suitable for your new thread. :-)

Road Runner

No problem, ever11vcf. I'm sorry I couldn't further assist with your setup; but glad you did find the proper assistance. :-)

Good luck, guy!

Road Runner

Yes, I saw the link you provided; however, the current device - the HG521 - you have is fine. Whether you buy a new modem or not, you still need to configure the settings, you know? That "crappy router" is only enabled for one device to be physically connected to it - so that's either, 1. a single ...

Road Runner

Hi. I looked up the HG521 model and it seems to be modem/router combo. However it does not have any wired ports, well except for the port to connect a single computer, or secondary router.

Now, I'm not familiar with the HG521's internal settings, but I believe you'll need to find a way to shut off ...

Road Runner

You're a novice at this stuff, eh? I can see. ;-) Well, before I get into all- I'll try to clear up some terminology for you, or at least from your descriptions as to what these materials / devices / wires are.

-> The 'master socket' is your NID, or a phone line jack, and the cable going to it is ...

Road Runner

Thanks, Phillip, for responding.

I don't plan to 'over-use' the link; I may've saw 2 threads that needed moving, but just didn't know how to go about it.

Again, thanks guy.

If I have to purchase a WIFI Adapter, dous it get installed in a PCI slot on the motherboard or can I go USB route?
Well, most recent laptops come with WiFi connectivity with an internal unit. However, if this doesn't turn out to be the case, they do have 'notebook-adapters', see here ---> http ...

Road Runner

My apologies, mspl; got the user names mixed up.

I'm not sure the difference "power-wise".

I do recommend PCI over USB for the simple fact it's less clutter as it's installed on the motherboard, and, in my opinion, operates more efficiently. I'm not 100% expert on this; I do recommend Googling the ...

Road Runner

Wait, hold on. Did you find any WiFi card under the "Network adapters" category in Device Manager?

And your question... are you asking what WiFi adapter you should be using / purchase?

Road Runner

Yeah, I think there's an issue at the OSP, or further into Mediacom's network- perhaps their core routers.

Either way, you should really be getting on Mediacom. Most of the time when you complain to an ISP, and there's nothing they can see that relates to their end of the network, they ...

Road Runner

OK, your signal stats are fine, so I'm assuming it's an issue with the edge router at 10.27.114.1 - and probably effecting everyone else connected to it, too.

Just for future reference - for acceptable signal stats:

Receive: -15dbmV to +15dbmV
Transmit: 30dbmV to 55dbmV
Carrier/Noise Ratio: >30dB ...

Road Runner

What cable modem are you using with Mediacom? Most brands allow you to access the modem's internal stats page at http://192.168.100.1 -- if you're able to go there, then try and find the "signals" page, which should show a receive, transit, and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) numbers. Here's an example ...

Road Runner

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that you don't have an WiFi card with your desktop. However, to confirm- follow mspl's post above by going to the Device Manager; or you can easily check the back of your desktop to see if there's an PCI card with an antenna sticking from the back- which should ...

I understand every post has the "report" link, but specifically states to only use this to alert spam, trolls, and other categories that violate site rules. Is this the standard vBulletin text, or can we use this link to also alert moderator when a thread needs to be moved? Or how does it work? I ...

No problem, guy.

But, I'm curious to know- what exactly was your friend doing for hours to make it 'seem' faster in the end-game?

Good luck.

Have you tried *testing* this situation with your laptop directly connected to your hub?

Road Runner

Well whatever is going on seems to be with the computer, cable, or the port on the Belkin router.
And might be a silly suggestion, but have you tried swapping ports on the Belkin, like changing it from, say, port 1 to port 3 maybe?

Try going into your LAN's properties, then click 'configure' which ...

Ah, Rogers- an Canadian ISP.

As for high latency, I saw it the beginning of your MLab stats:

Round trip time: 120 msec (minimum), 575 msec (maximum), 305.31 msec (average)
Jitter: 455 msec

Well whatever is going on, it seems to be within your home for the most part, according to your tracert at ...

What happened to the ping command I asked you to run? You only have the tracert there.

And, I tried to run a tracert to the WoW server, but I know I'd have horrible gaming experience with the amount of hops I go through before I even get close to the gaming server:

Road Runner

Who is your provider? And what speeds are you paying for?
I can assume that 21mb/s / 0.5mb/s is 21 Mbps / 500 Kbps, correct?
Judging from the information you've posted.. you have some high latency on your line.

Do you have a router in the mix; and if so, have you directly connected to the modem to ...

Your tracert looks OK to one of Google's servers at 74.125.93.147, but pings spike up at hop #7 - 72.14.233.87 -- but since Google has servers all over the country, I'm sure it's probably just a extra long hauls after it reaches #7, and continuing until it hits #11.

Just from the tracert you've ...

First thing's first- I'm going to assume you're referring to the Cablevision within the tri-state area (New York / New Jersey / Connecticut); if so then you should have Optimum Online, which is their internet service.. unless you have a business account with them of some sort?

What type of bundle ...

Road Runner

Not jumping to conclusions, but there could be EM interference near the cabling you've ran between the NID and your modem / PC-- perhaps from internal electric lines you may have overlooked? But, aside from that- do you have ANOTHER (shorter) ethernet cable (CAT5 or up) you can run between the NID ...

There shouldn't be an issue as long as the filters are attached correctly to the phones throughout the specific line with the DSL signal on it.

Also, if you have a cordless telephone systsm, and if this DSL modem is also a "built-in" wifi router (router / modem combo), then sure the router's wifi ...

That's a pretty 'naked' question when you haven't provided any details with your setup- what type of PC are you using: is it a laptop or desktop? If it's a new laptop then it probably has an wifi adapter built-in; its an old laptop, then you need to verify if your have a wifi card built-in, or an ...

What did your friends "try" doing thus far?

This may be a stupid question but- have you tried repairing your connection? This can be done by right-clicking the network icon in your taskbar near the time, then clicking on "Diagnose and repair". If that doesn't work, then try reinstalling the drivers ...

Hi,

Not sure if you're still having an issue with your Netgear, but..
Are you familiar with the router's internal settings and such? If so, you're probably better off resetting the Netgear back to it's original factory parameters-- this will completely clear any custom settings you have setup ...

This thread is about two weeks old, but I'll give it a shot.

Your signal levels are fine-
Acceptable levels should be as fellows:

Rx: -15dBmv to +15 dBmV
Tx: 30 dBmV to 55 dBmv
SNR: > 30 dB

I would put my money on your modem being faulty, in which you can do 1 or 2 things:

1. contact Road Runner ...

You pinged Google.com with 5784 packets, but loss 6 packets in process, but it's really slim to none, in terms of packet loss, when you're looking at the number of packets sent / received.

Personally, I would go with a general cable modem given by your cable-co. Why? If your wireless cable modem goes down, being it's a combo for networking, then your entire LAN goes down. Sure, it's the property of your cable company, but do you really want to go through calling for a technician's ...
