Re: [Speed Problem] DSL - Highly variable (slow) speeds - Droppe I'll certainly check for channel conflicts and mixed security settings. I can understand how that could affect the wireless throughput and stability.
However, I don't see how this would affect any devices connected directly by ethernet or via powerline adapters. Those also experience the dropped connections.
That's why I'm left with either a 2-wire hardware issue (as AT&T says) or some type of line problem.
Maybe the best thing is to move to Uverse, but I'm not sure what issues this will bring up (data cap, equipment fee, etc.?). |

I would try out another modem first like the 7550 or the Motorola 3347 / 3360.....
I would not jump to Uverse right away as this might cause you a lot more headaches than what you have now.... |

Apex, NC | Is there a source for either of these modems other than through AT&T direct (Amazon, Ebay, etc)?
Anything to look for or be careful of when purchasing a modem? |

That could still happen because if the modem/router has to reboot the wireless AP/base, most are so tied/integrated, it affects the wired and wireless side. I believe that started to be required when the WRT54G from linksys first came out. When you made a change in their software it rebooted the modem which dropped everybody, wired and wireless.
I would be counting on it, if the routers are newer than that.

Apex, NC | If I try replacing the modem first (Amazon, eBay, CL)...
1. What do I look for to make sure it's compatible with the AT&T DSL system? What are the "right words"?
2. Would you recommend the Motorola 7550 or the Motorola 3347 / 3360?
Thanks all!!! |

1. The right words are AT&T Compatible, Motorola 3347 or 3360 and or Netgear 7550. And ask questions to the seller.
2. I would recommend the 3347 or the newer model 3360.
said by David:3347 is compatible, not a bad router at all from what I hear. 3360 is the newer 1 port DSL modem and is IPv6 ready. 7550 I believe is the successor to the 3347/3346. 7550 is also IPv6 ready.
the 7550 is actually a Netgear model...
