    Slow internet

    Sorry :( misread that part. I believe it will be the LAN adapter, however you have stated that you have updated this as well. All I can think of trying is: 1) Update LAN drivers. 2) Reload OS 3) Replace LAN card 4) Replace motherboard Considering the LAN is built in I would say try the OS...

    WRT54G runningTomato

    What I would do is get a nice long ethernet cable and plug a computer directly into the modem for a day or so. If it stops happening, I would suggest replacing your router. If it keeps happening I suggest replacing or upgrading the modems firmware. This is called an isolation test as it sounds...

    Slow internet

    Do you have other machines to test with? If so see if the same issue occurs. You may need to replace or upgrade your router or modems firmware to ensure less overheads.

    Optimise ps3 connection speed

    1) Check with your provider in getting a better plan that provides a higher download/ upload. You can get providers that guarantee a certain data rate. 2) Make sure all devices: Modem/router/switch are gigabit technology. Old routers and switches are 10/100 when gigabit is 100/1000 meaning...

    Help please!Router/switch problems

    Put the cat 6 cable from the WAN port on the ASUS into the LANPORT2 test it then. The WAN port is usually only ever used to modify the direct cable that deals with the internet connection. In this case I believe the Linksys is doing that already.

    You can go like this: ISP Modem --> Router --> Switch (VLAN 1 -- Business network) (VLAN 2 -- Router 2 -- Personal network Or the suggested method you have. In essence an advanced router like a fortigate does have the same functionality as a...

    Invalid IP resolving to hostname; Please help resolve

    I am assuming this is happening to all other devices on the network besides mediapc. If that is the case an ipconfig /all should determine what device is handling the DNS, possibly the ZyXel device. If you go into the management page, there may be a DNS entry of some type accidently set up...

    Wired connection drops randomly

    Hi, This almost sounds like an IP address conflict. This sometimes happens when an IP address is set to (hypothetically) 192.168.1.10 manually and you have a device with DCHP (DHCP gives our IP addresses automatically) giving out the same 192.168.1.10 address. Use this guide to check the IP...

    No problem :) You will still have the server doing DNS and DHCP for the current 192.168.1.x range then you will need another device to manage the DHCP for the other x.x.x.x range. The range does not have to be in the 192.168.1.x style, it can be something like 10.1.1.x or 192.168.50.x. I hope...
