Hey guys,

Yesterday I bought a router so I could play my 360 on live and be online at the same time (wired connection). Since I started using it, my internet has been acting weirdly.  The only thing I changed in the settings was to turn UPNP off so I could join my friends Halo2 games.

It shows my internet connection as off. It doesn't allow me to start new connections (mozilla, new downloads, etc.) but my downloads (or AIM, MSN) that I had going when the connection dies continue to keep acting normally.

It's rather annoying and happens 1-2 times every 30min. To fix the problem I have to restart the modem which is beginning to be a hassle .

Results from network test: -When connection dies.

Internet Connection Off

Wireless Security Off

#2 My download/upload speeds are suffering.

..:::testmy.net test results:::..

Download Connection is:: 7794 Kbps about 7.79 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB)

Download Speed is:: 951 kB/s

Upload Connection is:: 771 Kbps about 0.8 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB)

Upload Speed is:: 94 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1)

I have a 15Mb/2Mb connection.  My download is usually around 13-15Mb and my upload never hesitates to go up to 190kbs on bitcomet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch.

btw

It's a Belkin router and I had one typo.

It looks as if some cablenut tweaks have raised my download back to normal, maybe even higher speeds.  I guess the only problem I have now is to fix the connection problems. ;/
