Only some sites load completely, like Google.
Other sites only load partially, like HuffingtonPost.
And then there are sites that won't load at all, like WinAmp & Wikipedia.

Also, the Rogers website is running pretty slow. It's producing some "maintenance" error message when I try to view the "Internet Usage" stats.

I've done everything possible with my router & modem.
Doesn't do anything.

Guess I'll wait this out, unless someone has a solution.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23313026 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:32:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23313005
example of problem: I can access google, but can not make any direction connection to easynews.com (great service btw!). When I ping easynews, I get a timeout, however, I am able to connect to easynews only by turning on hotspotshield (a VPN service) and then connecting.

Thus it appears rogers has some major dns issues going on.

I have the same shitty SMC router, and Extreme Plus.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23313005 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:32:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23312984 I cannot log on to Facebook.
I couldn't even get on FB working on my iPhone 3G connection (wireless)!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23312984 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:31:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23312967 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23312967 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:08:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/-Extreme-Problems-with-Connection-SMC-GatewayRouter-23312943
Basically I have a connection to the internet, right now I am on the connection, but I can only access a some sites, others either don't load or load partially. For example I can watch videos on YouTube but not justin.tv... I am in Waterloo.

In addition I cannot connect to xbox live, I actually discovered the problem when I got disconnected from a game and wasn't able to reconnect.

My gateway/router is the SMC8014G-W (a piece of crap if I must say) and it's giving me the following Cable Errors:

There is only one cable going from the router to the wall, no splitting etc and the cable visually looks fine.

Anyone have any idea whats going on? I will call Rogers tomorrow.
