This may be a dumb question but have you tried turning off your security on your wireless? I don't mean permanently but just as a means of ruling it out as a problem. My current router is a linksys DGL-4500 and during the times my connection is perfect and speedboost is kicking it has no problems hitting 37Meg and up on my wife's wireless laptop with a 16/2 tier. It is an overpriced router imao but it was the only one I saw that allowed prioritization of gaming.
You mean D-link DGL 4500, no?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connectivity-What-wireless-router-to-use-with-Extreme-50-23375717 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:17:42 EDT Re: [Connectivity] What wireless router to use with Extreme 50? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connectivity-What-wireless-router-to-use-with-Extreme-50-23370358 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connectivity-What-wireless-router-to-use-with-Extreme-50-23370358 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:42:05 EDT Re: [Connectivity] What wireless router to use with Extreme 50? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connectivity-What-wireless-router-to-use-with-Extreme-50-23367486 said by PGHammer:

Why simultaneous dual-band N is critical - simultaneous dual-band N is like full-duplex for wired Ethernet; it lets you send while receiving (extremely useful for multitasking Internet applications, such as p2p, IM, e-mail, Web browsers, etc.), and simultaneous dual-band routers (such as the WRT-6xxN routers) won't get their best performance without adapters that also support dual-band at once. Single-band and non-simultaneous dual-band routers will, at best, perform only half as well, and in the case of low-band-only N routers, as little as a quarter as well as their simultaneous relatives (no better than wireless-G).

In a word - ouch!
Dual-band means that you can choose whether to use the 2.4GHz band or the 5GHz band.

Simultaneous dual-band means that you can use both bands at the same time.

I have the WRT610N router with which I use the 2.4GHz band for all my "G" devices while using the 5GHz band for my "N" devices.

Also, an adapter has nothing to do with the "Simultaneous dual-band" feature. These routers work with any "B", "G", "N" or "A" device.

Well hata28, I picked up the router you own today (Netgear WNDR 3700) and at the moment I am having issues connecting my wireless clients to it. It is taking a long time to connect and when it does it is giving me the "limited or no connectivity" message. I have entered the passphrase correctly and everything.

Any thoughts?

Edit: I updated the firmware to V1.0.4. once I got things set up. Also, it seems to just be the passphrase that isnt working.

When I logged into the router it said it was up to date. I even called Comcast and they said the WNR3500 is what they use. I may as well keep my WRT54G router hooked up because im getting the same speeds...LOL I dont understand what could be the problem. I figured a wireless N router would do the trick, according to Comcast.
Comcast also uses two other Linksys gigabit wireless-N routers with their Blast! and higher services: the WRT-310N/320N (the WRT-310N was the original choice; now, the lower-end option is the 320N) and the WRT-610N (the only wireless choice for Ultra and Extreme 50 subs in the Beltway Region). Both also include wired gigabit; the 310/320N is non-simultaneous dual-band, while the 610N is simultaneous dual-band. Both routers are N-ratified (in other words, ready for the final N standard). If your *adapter* does not support dual-band N (and some adapters don't support simultaneous dual-band, which is mandatory for maximum performance), that may be the weak link. If your router supports dual-band N, make sure your N adapters do also; otherwise, you'll only get half (or less) of the performance N is capable of. (If you have no N adapters in your LAN at all, but do have gigabit wired devices, then you can safely consider an N-wireless/gigabit-wired router such as the Linksys WRT-320N or re-certified WRT-310N.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connectivity-What-wireless-router-to-use-with-Extreme-50-23316049 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:09:42 EDT Re: [Connectivity] What wireless router to use with Extreme 50? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connectivity-What-wireless-router-to-use-with-Extreme-50-23315458 said by iansltx:

I used to have the Ambit when they haven't capped it. After about 2 months, they've capped it and I was never going above 30Mbps on every speedtest I did. I decided to just try the Cisco and there you go. I only have ultra but the powerboost is pretty high as you can see. ;)

Up to 54 is g only, up to 145 is g/n and up to 300 is n only. My 2.4ghz AP is set to 145; the 5ghz to 300. The Macbook flies and the iphone still connects at g speed. Of course if your laptopbook doesn't work in the 5ghz band it is kinda moot.
