As far as 'edge' goes, my first couple of weeks using it (when it's usable) it's more of a platform for facebook type connections. Why would they remove activex ability, there are more security flaws in the underlying OS than activex scripts

Good question. I've not had the time to get into where the goodies reside to tweak in 10 as of yet. Someone surely has, but please , post your finding when you do yes?

They should schedule a tech, check the drop for faulty cable, connections at the port, and ground issues. Pay attention to splitters, make sure if there are any in the dwelling, they are connected properly (modem line going straight through, not off to one of the extended ports)

I have two things. First, the page load of the site you mentioned is less likely to be on your end then something in between, or more likely the server itself. I just loaded it myself, and it crawls. Secondly, from my understanding, the multithreaded test, is more reality than not. Considering most sites today link multiple resources, even on the pageload itself. Can be from any one or dozens of servers worldwide. Therefore the multutest, pulls from resources located in various geographical location to simulate 'real world' downloading.

Yea it was just off humor You mentioned room mate. Are you by any chance in a college setting?

Kill it before it breeds, it's not realistic

Start another profile on your machine, and test with that.

So the wireless setting are the same after all this? Did you have a password to get into your wifi? (I know you do) No remote is necessary. My recommendation at this point would be to skim over how to telnet into my router. Though, the fiormware might be inaccessible.

And after you attempt to drain the internal capacitor(s), and run the previous procedure, with cable and all unplugged, power it off, Hold the reset button in, and plug it in to the power. Only then screw the cable back in. To see what's happening, leave the cable removed, do these procedures and see the complaints and different GUI objects that may or may not be available. Read the logs, get an idea of what it's trying to do before it syncs with the ISP. If this all fails, were getting dirty with it, and we'll telnet in there and command it to lose it's memory

Geezus, there must be capacitors in that thing. Honestly, when you want to be offline for a bit. Unplug everything again, the power cord ends that plug into the wall, short them out for 10 seconds or so. With a screwdriver. Now listen here, and forgive me if I sound rash, or abrasive, stay away from the wall outlet with the screwdriver! This procedure has NOTHING to do with the wall, or anything near it. (I know you know this, but someone at some point will come along and instead of crapping their pants that day, will cram a screwdriver in the wall) So disclaimer out of the way Just attempt to drain the internal caps by shorting the leads, give it at least ten seconds. Then leave it sit for as long as you can, 5 minutes, 60 minutes, all night, short it again. Then proceed to 'factory reset' the thing.

It's obviously not resetting to factory. I might follow the same procedure, again, only after removing all connections to the device. (Cable, cat5/6) I've run into this before, and that has worked.

Does this modem also service your phone, or have the ability to? Does the modem have a battery?

I might do a hard reset on the modem. From everything you have stated, there appears there could be some sort of QOS, or quality of service setting in the modem for the subnet the hard wired connections are using. Make sure to do what we call a 30/30/30 reset: Locate the pinhole in the modem (reset button) Usually we use a paper clip While the power is on, press, and HOLD the reset button. ( remembering you will be holding the reset button without fail, for ~90 seconds + ) Watch the clock or count to at least 30 second, more is fine. Now remove power for another 30 seconds at least (while continuing to hold the reset button in) Now plug the unit back in (while continuing to hold the reset button in for a further 30 plus seconds) make sure you are comfortable for the process, 90+ seconds contorted to hold reset button in can seem longer than it truly is

Yes. And that is fine.

First I would check browser addons. See if something might be blocking it. Do you have any virtual software on the machine? Do the other devices test properly?

This, from what little information available, sound like an IP conflict. At the same time sounding like QOS settings on the wireless are getting hit. Can you explain what the subnet CIDR is? example /30 /29 ect... on the DHCP of wireless side as well as the wired. In other words, how many IP's or, device are allowed to connect to the router at one time.

What should you expect to be achieving, throughput wise. In other words what speeds are you paying for? And where (roughly geographically are you located. Also, what service provider are you currently using. ISP

I'm going to suggest something along the lines of Triran There is a common denominator here, you. Now to rule the you out. Turn off, unplug everything you have outside of the ISP equipment. Everything wifi or wired, remove it all. Bring in someone with a machine that has no affiliation in any sense to any of the machine or work you do and run tests, what are the results.

Have you monitored for 'something' hogging bandwidth within your local net? Any possible file that could be sharing itself or doing something more devious? Secured wireless nodes, file sharing programs ect...

Good base idea to wire direct and eliminate any latency in wireless. Of course the sat corp does not 'trust' any other source than itself, they are not in the slightest concerned with real life actual throughput on your account. They simply insure you have 'a connection' to the exit node, or their sister peer. I dare to bet if we glanced at the sat fine print, it would claim 'up to speeds' In other words, in a perfect word, perfect alignment, not oversold beam or any sun spots, you might reach what we claim is your max cap throughput.

If you are pinging the google / yahoo servers, you will be pinging the closest server to you, of course it does not stand that the closest server is always the quickest route let alone response time. Run a traceroute to them and see how many hops your connection takes through the route.

So I've not in almost six years with them come close to the max 500GB/ month data cap I get the warning the other day injected into the browser I should say, was a shock, so I checked the local usage sure enough it's right spot on to what they say. I'm thinking wtf is this chit. Spent a couple hours trying to find out what machine was eating this data. For a moment, frustration settled in, I don't get bothered when i can't figure something out, I just move on until I find the solution. Got as far as grepping every directory on whatever nodes i thought may have been hungry. Then I remembered, oh yea that's right, I ran a backup of backups last week to a local backup node. Duh me There i was, asking the boy 'wth have you been doing' and it was of course, me, in one of those frenzied states pounding through the day getting it done and forgetting about it.

Welcome to the forum Scott

In the last 3-5 days I've had more machines running 7 BSOD out, and most of them are unrecoverable. Re-imaging required due to the entire directory structure being deleted. (yes there are ways to 'fix' this problem, but at the cost of precious time) I've warned clients about using yahoo and hotmail yet they continue running until they lose their system from the flash exploit deluge. Now if the two are related I've yet to have time to discern what the actual issue is. Outside of being very familiar to several past exploits which accomplished the very same task.
