I asked that it not be the same one, I hope they give a separate box for modem and router but I have a feeling it'll just be another gateway, hopefully it'll be fixed though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20449681 Thu, 08 May 2008 01:41:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20447363 ignorant : Most of the Router/Modem combos have that problem. You're better of getting just a modem from TWC and buying you own router (plus you'll save $5 a month).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20447363 Wed, 07 May 2008 17:46:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20446705 sryinex : I have the above router/modem from Netgear that RR gave this house when they first installed. For basic usage it's fine, however for gaming it is horrid. When I open up steam and search for servers, all the servers are shown with very high pings and in fact if I try to search for multiple servers for more than a second the gateway just resets itself. Say I have some 5 odd favorite servers saved, if I refresh all of them at once the pings will come out obscure. For example, local Los Angeles server where once I'm in I ping 20, it'll show 150 or something when refreshing. I have some modem logs here...

These happen every time I search servers and the modem resets itself. This is unacceptable, I've had many other ISP's and locations where it would not do this. I just want to be able to ping multiple locations without having my connection drop or show inaccurate data. This is not too much to ask.

Here is a tracert to a local Los angeles server
