A good feature is turning up the wireless radio so you get better reception. I went from 60% on my PS3 to 85% which makes online gaming much better and my laptop speeds seem like there wired connections!!! I've used my Linksys router on Shaw and Telus with Windows Vista and XP operating systems.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21212412 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:28:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21210137 dsmalls : Thank you for your reply netwerk. I actually did reset to the factory default settings and things seem to be doing pretty well. I guess what happened was I turned on a bunch of security settings and that messed things up. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I need to practice what I preach.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21210137 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:06:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21207858 netwerk : Just use the default settings. Reset the wrt54g by holding the reset button in the back for 10 seconds.

This problem could be a few things. Patch cord being the most obvious and easiest thing to check

The other may be the auto setting for your network card config. you may have to set your network card to auto detect line speed or if it already is try 10meg - full or half duplex. Your router may be on the way out.

Try a different port on the router aswell

When connected directly to the modem I get full 6.0 Extreme speeds. Once plugged in through the router I get the farthest thing from breakneck speeds.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what settings I should use for the router?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21207484 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 22:10:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21153509 Telly Boot : Wow, how did you get a tech to come by after only one hour on the phone?

The D-Link 300G generally will, after 2-3 years, go flaky, loose sync, or simply quit. These units run hot enough to fry whatever is inside the box, boil capacitors and such.

Actually if you replace all the capacitors, keep it cool, it will never drop any packets for years on end.

The Speedtouch is quite different inside the box. Far fewer capacitors, runs cooler, likely will last for many years.

BTW this rule of thumb applies to all things D-Link if you care to check. :uhh: :p :uhh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21151296 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:56:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21145212 anon : So a Tech arrived, and within 2 minutes, determined my 300G modem was the culprit, swapped it out for the new speedtouch modem, and now I am much happier!!! I have to say that I am happy with Telus's support and sending someone within 24 hrs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21145212 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 12:47:30 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21142333 DCloutier : I know how you feel about them being wrong, I know it has happend to me, and than all of a sudden its better.

Hopefully they will resolve the problems.
The phone rep was very insistent that the problem was on my end, but they seemed to have done something, because my connection speed is very good right now, and I am once again behind my Linksys.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21142319 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 16:18:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21139157 DCloutier : Much agreed CR123. Try bypassing it just once and tell us how it goes. It couldn't do any harm right?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21139157 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:06:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21139120 CR123 : Why don't you bypass the router, and call then?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21139120 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:00:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21137118 anon : Telus DSL is not very reliable. I have been having problems with the connection going dead, and taking forever to load web pages. I have phoned telus, but of course they blame my Linksys WRT54G, which is NOT the problem. I see that some others are also complaining about telus.
I am counting down the days until my 3 year contract expires, because then I'll be gone like the wind.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21137118 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:43:00 EDT
