Do you really mean every 10 minutes? If you're exaggerating a little, I might know the solution. I know on linksys routers, with factory firmwares, they keep the connections active for a few days. So, if you use peer-to-peer shiz, like I know you do, it'll get raped with open connections and have to be reset every now and then. You would need to change settings for "leave connections active for" whatever.

Unfortunately, I've never used a vonage router and have no clue what their config pages look like.

I mean like every 10 min for real. Now it won't even connect. I'm jacked straight into the modem It just started doing this so I think the router is about to take a ----. Just reaffirms my hatred of Motorola products.

Sounds like it. Motorola modems are decent, never used their routers though. Motorola surfboards were the first modems people were uncapping.

Call vonage up and tell them your router is taking a ----

Yeah tried twice and they "adjust some settings" and have to give them awhile to take effect. Damn Indians don't listen.

Called back again and the guy told me that Lynksys products aren't good. Not sure what he would recommend. Anyways, he got to looking and said someone in lower level tech support changed some settings. He did a restore and it works fine. Go figure the person to solve the problem was actually and American and not the Indians I have been getting.

Yeah, Cisco/Linksys is probably only the largest supplier of networking equipment, they must suck They probably just say that because they use motorola. The only bad thing about some of the linksys routers is they keep connections active too long, but that can be fixed.

XBox Live and Microsoft's support is also all foreign. They **** me off because I call about a problem, they don't understand what the hell I'm asking, then give me a "solution" entirely unrelated to the problem. I get pissed at the ******* for not understanding me after I say something 5 different ways, but they don't even understand I'm pissed and keep spewing their happy little foreign accented bullshit.

BigD

That's the problem I was having. They kept having me do stuff that had nothing to do with what I told them the problem was. The guy was telling me it was probably a comcast issue giving me bad connection. Yet jacked into the modem it ran great and actually gave me some really good up/download speeds on uTorrent.

BigD

And now it's fucked again. Having to do ip renewals and dns flushes to get it to semi work. Still slow as ----. New router here I come. What nog has a cheap wireless one?

I really can't see the purpose of this stuff unless you are like 50 and can't let go of having a home phone. I think I am past having a home phone ever in my life.

BigD

It's not for me. My mom and bro use it. I just use my cell.
