Worth a shot just make sure that slot supports 16x some have only one 16x spot and the other is strictly 4x or 8x also try manually setting the pci express frequency to 100Mhz in the bios over clock settings

That was gonna be my next suggestion

Try removing the display drivers installed and either install an older version or beta version could very well be a corrupted driver

wow! NOW what more could I ask. And that's great stuff. I think that's about what I need and do appreciate the time you took. This is a great forum. And the active guys are so helpful. This takes the stress of knowing little out of it and I can't say enough how much this information means.  Jack  ":-D

 

your most welcome sir.

alright i had a little time today so i looked up some router models well within your price range

 

Routers: 

Netgear N900 -$129
Netgear N600 -$99
Asus RT-N56U -$99
D-Link N750 -$89
D-Link DIR-850L -$129

 

Any of those routers would be a fine choice, many of which you will find in your local best buy

 

as for the modem

 

your options are limited but i did find the Arris TM822G brand new for $130 with free shipping

 

it would be quite a bit cheaper then its motorola counterpart which hovers around $180 just for the modem/telephone 

 

if you decided on the Arris and got say the Netgear N900 both have free shipping and would put your total investment around $250 you would be rid of that pesky leasing charge and have a much more powerful homenetwork

 

the Arris TM822G is approved for comcast Xfinity aswell

 

and to answer your questions earlier

 

Golly thanks! Now if only I understood all that.

 

I think I got a handle on 4 port = 4 Ethernet ports?

Wireless n = is about the lastest technology of adapters if there isn't something already in the works upgrade

Dual band got that ... not simultaneous got that ... but which is preferable?

 

E4 ~~ running Tomato? = man, I'm lost in the bean patch

Qos = some kinda operating system but what "Q" is I dunno.

 

 

Wireless N - correct!

Dual Band - can be simultaneous 2.4GHz is preferable because 5GHz is almost line of sight the higher the freqency the more interference there is going through objects such as walls

 

E4 - i believe hes referring to the linksys E4000 series router and tomato is a type of open source firmware that can be installed

 

QoS - Quality of Service think of it like load balancing it's supposed to on a connection by connection basis ( every connection your computer makes to the outside world which is typically hundreds even thousands ) classify and prioritize. what that does is say your streaming a HD movie and someone else on your wifi starts a simple file download from a website, it's supposed to keep your streaming at a higher priority so your packets are always transferred first as to eliminate buffering,

 

what i've found with QoS is most routers do not have the resources to do this properly so you might actually lose thoroughoutput by the router being overwhelmed with tasks. i usually do not use this feature

 

and firmware is like an kind of like an operating system think of it as windows is for your computer a firmware is the base operating system for the router or just about any electronic device even your TV has firmware or cellphone

I think he currently has A promo deal where he has to have it to get the pricing. Sorry I haven't replied sooner this week has been probably the busiest of my life I haven't even had time to get on the computer to look up routers but I promise I will try my best to look it up tomorrow before I go to work

i've never replaced a modem like that but any cable modem you can get that does not have the router built in will be just fine... i don't believe the arris modem you linked has the telephony built in, the motorola one does though

 

as for routers i'm really liking d-link and netgear at the moment i am far from impressed with the linksys stuff that has been coming out recently and i haven't had much success with belkin in years if your wanting me to help you look up some models of routers i'd be happy to in the morning just let me know how many devices your looking to connect what kind of range you might want and your budget

 

Plan is 150 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up. Monthly allowed usage is 250 gig. Plan price is $96.00 Cdn before taxes.

Paying an extra $10.00/month to allow unlimited usage so $106.00 Cdn before tax. 

 

Welcome to the site! nice speeds!

I was thinking once you get latency testing done you could incorporate that into the main test to help detect if someone is on satellite or not

Probably a issue along the route to Texas these things are very common

yeah the past few months one of my clients got owned by russian registrations over 3k registrations and 40k posts 

If i gets the ultimate for less than 136 then i would have a 400GB cap limited set compare to what i have with this 600GB cap set for 2x premier tier lines.

 

I'll stick with the two premier tiers for higher cap limited.

 

when i had ultimate i consistantly went over the 400GB cap and even now i consistantly go over the 300GB cap and have never heard a peep from cox about it

i'm paying 136 dollars a month for two virtual connectivity lines, cox 50Mbits premier.

You know you can get ultimate for less money and get 150/20

As far as I'm aware that doesn't exist for Dsl at least not in the United States from what I'm reading only Korea uses that type of technology for aDSL

Well the modem I am referring to is for cable Internet and it would probably help a lot you see your cable modem will sync to see specific channel over time and if that channel is saturated with to many clients you won't see your bandwidth docsis3.0 modems bond multiple channels to achieve your advertised speeds so think of it as multi threading a download the cool thing about docsis3.0 modems is even docsis2.0 service benefits from them there is a post on here somewhere explaining that I will try to find it for you in a bit when I'm not posting from my mobile

what you already have and plan to do are really your only options unless you switch to cable. It sounds like it has been a while since you used it they could have upgraded and even if they haven't you could always try a docsis3.0 modem as they support channel bonding even when your not using docsis3.0 service

Now I'm looking for tools to set SOVLED and BEST ANSWER. Will my ignorance ever stop being exposed here? ":-D ha ha!

Those don't exist yet we are working with CA3LE to get them activated right now though

sounds good! i hope they find out what the problem is but i have a suspicion that it is the wireless radio on that gateway just isn't fast enough

you are correct there is no device to handle modem/router/telephone but there are modems you can buy which handle modem/telephone where you could still add your own router

 

the devices i found which support telephone/docsis 3.0 below

http://www.amazon.com/ARRIS-Touchstone-Cable-Modem-DOCSIS/dp/B008GG78FU/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_2

 

also i've been reading that best buy sells the ARRIS modem for around $150

DROID dna is unrootable at the moment it should be soon though at which time u will root it I had my thunderbolt rooted the entire time I owned it

i still have my old droid razr that just updated to jelly bean. 4g just came into my area like in the last couple weeks or so and i have to say 4g runs like absolute CRAP in my area. my 3g speeds used to be pretty decent for it being 3g...and when im in say joplin, mo 4g is amazing. yet returning to kansas ....4g is slower than my original cable internet package of 1.5mbps down. i dont get it .

but mainly posted to say the droid dna is awesome. i've used one and thats what im upgrading to when i quit being cheap and go use my upgrade.

Yeah I was in the same boat I was using a thunderbolt and it was a great phone but it was beginning to have some issues as old phones tend to so I finally got fed up and upgraded and man am I glad I did

Belay that last question. I found the answer I'm sure. the EXTRA INDENTIFIER button.    Sorry I bothered you to come here!  jack ":-D

 

no problem at all! it's what we're here for

I from lithuania ,have wireless internet speed only 2mb.from torrent downloading 250kb only .Can i make faster speed?Can you help?

 

that depends, what does your wireless internet service provider say you should be getting?

Back when I installed I used ideneb to get it running it's a debian based for a lot of the drivers

Yes the proc is from 2009, nope not slow I agree.

 

I did find a few places that were discussing the latest in AMD crackintosh installs, just not taken the time to do my homework on it.

 

Mindcue if you find anything solid in your endeavors linking me would be greatly appreciated

i may take some time this weekend and try to get an install going ill keep you updated
