    I tried to edit the last message to add that it's the Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router (WNDR3700).

    Netgear Password Reset Failed - Can't Log In Now

    I decided to reset the main login password of my Netgear router to something 55 characters long, just a chaotic string of letters (uppercase and lowercase) and numbers. I typed the password into a text editor and pasted it in both the regular and confirmation password fields. Then I was asked...

    Linksys Wired/Wireless Hybrid Dropping Internet Access Regularly

    So far I've only had to reboot the Netgear router three times when it dropped internet access for both computers. I don't guess that's too bad for something I've had since January 5, 2011.

    Linksys Wired/Wireless Hybrid Dropping Internet Access Regularly

    No, we live out in the country and there's a perfect line of sight to the satellite. There are no trees anywhere near the line of sight. But the problem was the router, anyway. It's been replaced and I no longer lose the satellite signal... of course, now Facebook buttons have stopped working...

    Linksys Wired/Wireless Hybrid Dropping Internet Access Regularly

    @Norway - Yes, the Linksys WRT54G was doing the same thing and it was getting worse. @tlcscousin - I went with a Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router. It was $149 on sale at Best Buy. Setup was extremely easy and I didn't have to do anything to the two computers because I used the...

    Linksys Wired/Wireless Hybrid Dropping Internet Access Regularly

    Hmmm... I wonder: www.google.com "Linksys sucks" - About 656 results "Netgear sucks" - About 2,710 results " D-Link sucks" - About 8,430 results So I've got to make a choice between a Linksys E3000, or a Netgear equivalent that sits right next to it at Best Buy, or a D-Link® DIR-825 Xtreme N™...

    Thanks for the replies. I've heard others say good things about D-Link so I'll go with that one for now. :)

    Linksys Wired/Wireless Hybrid Dropping Internet Access Regularly

    Oh, I also forgot to ask -- do the network adapters and wireless USB network adapters have to be the same brand or if they're all 802.11g, is that enough? I'm hoping I can still find an 802.11g router because my PC doesn't have a free PCI slot and the network card is built onto the motherboard...

    Linksys Wired/Wireless Hybrid Dropping Internet Access Regularly

    Okay, I bypassed the router while my friend was at work and I never lost my connection. It's definitely the router. So away it goes. Now the question is... I read on this site about a router for gamers that has two connection buffers so when one buffer fills up without releasing old...

    Linksys Wired/Wireless Hybrid Dropping Internet Access Regularly

    LOL, well I thought maybe there might be some kind of setting I could change, or maybe I could reconfigure something. If I knew for sure whether this has been going on since I got the router new, I'd know that either (a) Linksys sucks, or (b) my configuration sucks.
