<title>[Internet] Is hiding wireless SSID a good idea? does it cause pr</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26832064</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi, I've been reading about the WPS hack going around and people claiming that their internet usage seems to have sky rocketed over the weekend for no apparent reason, I was wondering if I should disable SSID broadcast. Is that a good idea or no? Does it interfere with the WIFI signals or the internet connection/speed in general? Does it make the wifi network more secure/less prone to hacks? 

If I choose to hide SSID, I would then have to input the SSID and password on each computer manually, correct? I also use WPA2 personal encryption with the 2wire..

I am currently on the Fibe 12 plan with the 2wire modem but as of next week, I will be switched to the Fibe 25 connection which will come with the Sagemcom modem, according to users on this forum website.]]></description>

<title>High ping to router</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26858611</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out with this problem. I'm seeing random high ping times to my router, which obviously causes my latency to be inconsistent.

The number seems to vary, but it will always stay the same(or 1-2ms difference) for that particular moment. For example, if I run 100 pings to my router, I'll get something like :

1ms, 1ms, 1ms, 120ms, 1ms, 120ms, 119ms, 1ms, 119ms. etc.

And if I run ping tests to a website, well I'll be seeing something like:

32ms, 152ms, 153ms, 32ms, 32ms, 151ms.

You can see that it basically just adds the difference the router adds(32 + 120).

Any idea what could be causing such a thing ?

I'm connected through a wire. I've tried wirelessly as well, and it's the same thing, except an added ~15ms. I'm using the 2wire 2701HG-G router/modem.]]></description>

<title>bell disgusts me</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26825871</link>
<description><![CDATA[ok im pay 90 a month for my internet
which is essential plus......which is pretty much the worst internet service bell has and that is all i can get.
also   out of the 90   60 is over usage fee...i pay every month because they only offer 5 gigs in my plan with a shit dowload rate of 250kb/sec

its outragous acroos the street gets fiber optic and were still on this horrible account....  been like this for years and years they also get performace which is better then what i have...

i guess that is what bell makes all there money from people like me paying 90 bucks for there worst service,
i don&egrave;t see how this is fair at all

sorry had to vent..]]></description>

<title>[Internet] Sagemcom F@st 2864 usb printer</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26823726</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi.  I realize Bell does not support the configuration/use of printers with the Connection Hub, but I was wondering if any of the users out there had gotten a usb printer to work with the hub?  I have a Brother HL-2040 printer that I've plugged in to one of the usb ports.  The Connection Hub detects it and lists it under the USB connected devices.  If I look at Network Devices, it is also listed there (with no IP address).  This is not a wireless printer.

In the past I had this connected to my tomato router and it worked by adding a standard tcp/ip printer port at the router's ip address, setting the protocol to RAW, the port number to 9100, and then adding the proper printer driver.  This does not work with the F@st 2864 router.

Any ideas?

Thanks!]]></description>

<title>[Internet] Trouble with Fibe 25 and Sagemcom Modem</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26591794</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have Bell Fibe 25 service running over a Sagemcom VDSL modem. Ever since getting set up I've noticed my Internet connection has fairly frequent "outages" (about once a day, usually in the evenings).

What happens during the outage:
- Websites stop loading. They stay in a perpetual "Waiting for reply" state.
- YouTube videos stop loading.
- SIP sessions all disconnect.

Things that continue to work even during this outage:
- DNS lookups, even for domains that are definitely not cached.
- Pings to any Internet host.

The duration of the outage lasts between 5-10 minutes, sometimes slightly longer. The DSL modem never loses sync during the outage.

I get the same issue regardless of whether I'm using the DSL modem as a modem/router combo or if it's attached through my AirPort Extreme.

I've found that I can trigger this outage by maxing out my upload/download (such as when torrenting) for a few minutes. However, for the past week or so it's been happening even when I'm not using the connection at all.

Any ideas as to what might be happening? Thanks!]]></description>

<title>[Internet] 1 month to disconnect?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26863502</link>
<description><![CDATA[I made the switch away from Bell HS Internet yesterday - after 10 plus years. They tell me I have to pay for another month before disconnecting. Anyone else heard of this?

Of course when I finally said I was leaving, they came up with quite the discounts, though still not as good as my current price. Had they offered this when I asked 2 weeks ago I might have considered. Why is it that loyal, long time customers aren't treated well until they threaten to leave????]]></description>

<title>SagemCom F@st 2864 XBOX 360 Media Stream issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26846148</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi Guys,
Hope someone can help me with the issue I am having:

I upgraded to fibe 25 and was given this sagemcom f@st 2864 modem. Since I upgraded, I cannot seem to stream media from my Desktop to XBOX. I setup according to xbox site and also followed their FAQ. 

Here is how my setup looks like:

XBOX wifi
Laptop Wifi
Desktop Wired to modem directly, not using any routers

XBOX cannot find my desktop although it does work with the laptop fine. When I search for PC in xbox it only finds bell media hub and laptop but not the desktop.

I tried following so far:

Network setup as Home

Sharing Options set as:

   Network discovery is on.
&middot;  File and printer sharing is on.
&middot;  Public Folder Sharing is on.
&middot;  Media streaming is on.
&middot;  Password protected sharing is off.
&middot;  HomeGroup Connections: Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections. 
windows media player streaming is on and XBOX is allowed.

Windows Services as following:

Internet Connection Sharing Service:  Stopped\Disabled
Media Center Extender Service: Started\Automatic
Network List Service:   Started\Automatic
Quality Windows Audio Video Experience: Started\Automatic
SSDP Discovery Service: Started\Automatic
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Device Host: Started\Automatic
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service: Started\Automatic

Router Setup:

UPnp enabled
All devices have static IP assigned
Mac Filters allows all three devices
Port forwared 53,80,88,3074

Cant connect XBOX via wire or Desktop via wifi since they are on different floors.

Any suggestions? your help would be greatly appreciated. ]]></description>

<title>Fibe-25 + IPTV and DSL profile speeds</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26852199</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi,

From what I understand, a client who orders Fibe-16 + IPTV gets a Cellpipe modem and a DSL profile around 29 Mbit down and 2 Mbit up. When all IPTV receivers are turned off, his Internet speeds (with overhead) are around 25 Mbit/s down and 1.5 MBit/s up. He's actually getting a free speed upgrade when not wathing TV, but the bandwidth drops by about 7 Mbit/s for each IPTV feed being watched or recorded. I guess if he's watching/recording 3 HD feeds, he will actually have only 8 Mbit left for the Internet?

Now, what happens if you have Fibe-25 (DSL profile around 29/8) which works great and add IPTV? Do you get a faster DSL profile so that you still have 25 Mbit even while watching or recording a TV stream or do you get screwed and end up with the same download speeds as someone paying only for a Fibe-16 service + IPTV?

Thanks to anyone who can provide an answer!

<title>[Internet] Need a Bell modem (just a modem, NOT 2wire gateway)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26848520</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey All,

I currently have a very good router, and only want a modem for my bell service. I gave them a call, and they only offer the 2wire.

I had the 2wire, and it died about a year later. I was lucky and my uncle had an older speedstream modem that I now use, and got a good router to go along with it.

Since I work from home, I need reliability, and should the modem die, I'm screwed. So I need to find a good backup modem as well, which Bell doesn't offer anymore.

Is the Speedstream 5200 I can find on Ebay a good buy? Are there any more newer models that will work?

Thanks in advance!]]></description>

<title>[Internet] Is Bell doing anything at 9 - 10 PM everynight?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26855318</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am wondering if Bell has something running on their end at this time.

Cause around 9PM (usually 9:20) my dsl link will flicker and I will loose sync for around 30 to 45 min. This happens every night around this time.

With the provided Modem Sagemcom, I will be completely disconnected for this time, it will not sync at all till after the 30 to 45 min has passed.

If i'm on my Zoom modem, I will not lose sync right away, I will lose the ability to browse the net, and it if happens often enough I will lose sync.  I can browse inbetween the dsl flickering.

My linksys when bridged to the zoom tells me this when I lose sync.

Received LCP Termination-Request
Sending LCP Termination-Ack

On the Sagemcom direct connected the stats don't say much except

Jan 1 22:12:03 PPP [581]: Exit.
Jan 1 22:12:58 PPP [581]: ppp1 started
Jan 1 22:13:05 PPP [581]: Connecting: ppp1
Jan 1 22:13:08 PPP [581]: Connection terminated.

it does that for 30 to 45 min.

I am on Fibe 16

here are the line stats I got from the Zoom

This information reflects the current status of your DSL connection.

I noticed my SNR margin is a bit low, but it should still be fine.

All other time of the day my connection is rock solid and i'm getting my advertised speed, no noticible slow downs.

I'm getting tried of this, so i'm prob going to rehook up the Sagemcom and call Bell next week and see what they say.]]></description>

<title>[Internet] Reboot script for alcatel 7130 router?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26859374</link>
<description><![CDATA[My internet seems to go down daily.  I will be at work, connected Remote Desktop (RDP) to my machine (port forwarding is fine and working) and then my internet completely goes down and I have to go home at lunch and reboot my router.  The lights are all on and before I reboot the router, I always load up a PC to make sure net is dead and it is.  After a reboot, then the internet is back and I can surf like normal and I can connect from work again.

Why does this happen?

-When it dies, the router still has an external IP Address but can't browse internet at all
-I have Bell Alcatel 7130 modem with 10meg down/7up
- it isn't antivirus or firewall blocking my RDP because the net is down
-happens almost everyday
-I know Bell throttles torrents in the daytime butI'm not even downloading or having torrents open

-On a side topic, I can not ping this router at all.  Before I upgraded, I could ping home and make sure my internet was working, now I cannot with this new modem...any hacks, mods or tricks out there??
EXAMPLE:  ping 69.89.96.78 gets REQUEST TIMED OUT (even when I am connected to home via RDP)

If anyone has a REBOOT script or idea how to make one for this router it would help alot.  Basically I want to run this script when my PC cannot browse internet and it automatically calls a system reboot on the router.  I can't telnet into it, doesn't accept request and I don't know how to capture webpage clicks etc...

Basically I want:
1.  net goes down
2.  DynDNS program calls router_reboot_script because it can't detect internet
3.  Router reboots
4. DynDNS emails new ip and updates records
5.  Connect again to home from work]]></description>

<title>porting cell number from bell</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26832830</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi all,
I've done a bit a search on DSLR about how to port from bell.

I believe the most effective way is:
"Avoiding the charges involves the cooperation of your new provider. 
They must issue the LSR with a due date at least 30 days in the future. 
This lets bell know the service is cancelling in 30 days AND preserves your phone number. "

Is this still the case and the right way to go about it?

My bell contract expires Feb 27. My billing period is the 9th every month.

I'd go to my new carrier, have them issue the port order, say Feb 6, with a DUE DATE 30 days out, which is around Mar 6, which satisfies bell's notice period.

All comments are welcome.]]></description>
