Houston, we have Internet problems....

You REALLY want to fight against my 100MB/S school ISP?????

Don't make me find a gigabit port in the server room and flex my 500 up down connection...

here's my home

(wifi on both of my tests)

OK, I'm getting a bit annoyed as of right now.

A month ago, they sent us a new modem, thinking that the drops were because the modem was defective; Netflix was causing the router to reset completely.
Skip to now: Minecraft MP is causing the """"""new"""""" modem to crash.
Any place for recommendations?

*On a side note, Minecraft is randomly exiting out, no reason why.
(laptop I'm using has the most up-to-date graphics. ATI denies it ever being made, and Dell has newest drivers from '05.)

I had problems like that.

Turned out to be bad insulation on the lines along the telephone poles that were grounding out when they slapped against a tree or another line.

never a issue since.

Thing is, it's a WiMax modem. No phone cables.

Well, I got the driver taken care of (with a little bit of editing... )

1680*1050 gaming, anyone?





Still on the lookout for better ISPs.

This is from my USB modem!

I can think of only 2 times in the time I've had my Centurylink service that its gone down and only for an hour each time.

This connect from a Netgear DSL Modem/Router, to my router in the basement that feeds to my desktop and file server. Working from home and having all 3 of us online at the same time, me for work and the wife and kid on youtube and netflix all day really never taxes the connection.

By that, do you mean you now have a wired connection from the PC to the modem or router then back to Wifi? Going from Wifi, to router/modem back to Wifi is probably whats killing your connection speeds.

I don't know if this will help, but here's a link to some ISP's in Idaho.

may i recommend a cool setup? http://linksysco.com/download.php this makes your router pick up wifi through wireless, and port it through Ethernet ports on the back, you can buy huge gain antennas, mine can barely pick up sac airport, which im guesstimating is 40 miles away as the crow flies.

Interesting for sure. I would just be careful. Depending on which Wifi your piggybacking off of and their monitoring of wireless, you may be noticed. I don't know how the laws are for privately provided wireless, but your router staying connected to a monitored wifi (airport) for more then 24hrs might get noticed. lol

The WRT54G is a good router too (if you have that to use the link on).

I would also be careful with the sites you go to. lol They may have site monitoring too.

In other words, be careful. lol
