Gone through 6 Routers.... why do these routers keep doing this?

So.... First router i ever bought was WRT54G and i wanted to upgrade to N so recently i picked up a Linksys E2000. and got it home, and worked awesome... ping was low. download speeds were at exactly what im paying for with Suddenlink. 8mbps. and then i got shut off one night, for downloading copyrighted movies, whatever, they reactivated the internet and since then my xbox says NAT moderate and ping went up. download speeds lowered.
Since i was still within return policy at staples i returned it. and picked up another one. set it up, and it worked awesome again. until.... 5 days or so later. and it got all slow and NAT moderate.... exchanged again. and I basically repeated this 4 times, 5 routers. all worked great until a few days later. so hell I just returned it. and went to Kmart and picked up an E1000. worked ok. download speeds were about half and ping said 80 (e2000's said 30 brand new) but my NAT was open and thats what i want most. okay so 2 days later... TODAY... my ping.... ...went down to 30?!?   at first i was like alriiight.... download speeds increased a tiny bit. but when i turned my xbox on. NAT - Moderate. **bleep**!?!?   what in the hell is going on here? is this a linksys router problem. is my ISP messing with me? ive had them come down the first time the E2000 went out. they said my modem was receiving all 8 mbps.

i hooked my xbox directly into the modem. NAT is open. hooked my laptop up, pressed the reset button on modem and i went to speedtest.net and ping test and didnt really like that i was only getting 2mbps when im paying for 8. sometimes i get 8 though. but you would think, directly in modem i would get 8mbps at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
so now what? is it coincidence that i went through a string of possibly broken routers? when i first hook the thing up it works great and then goes bad. and factory defaulting the device doesnt help at all.

  • Is there any way that a normal SMS message (i.e. A green message) can be sent through to an iPad? I have linked my iPad to my phone but I don't want certain messages getting through. If I turn my imessenger off, does this mean these won't go to my ipad?

    SMS is a voice cell service and since the iPad does not have voice cell circuitry, it does not natively support SMS or MMS. There are third-party apps in the iTunes Store that purport to send SMS, but I have no personal experience with any of them.
    If I turn my imessenger off, does this mean these won't go to my ipad?
    If you disable Messages in the Restrictions on the iPad, then it will not be able to send nor receive messages. Or you can change the email address used for Messages on either the iPad or the iPhone. The iPad will then only receive messages sent via that address.

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks
    Jules

  • HT1657 My download keeps freezing, and I have to buy it over and over again and it wastes money. I have now rented my movie 4 times and it still won't finish downloading. Why can't I get the rental for free if it keeps doing this?

    MY DOWNLOAD KEEPS FREEZING AND I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT'S WASTING MY MONEY. I HAVE NOW RENTED MY MOVIE 4 TIMES AND IT STILL WON'T FINISH DOWNLOADING. WHY CAN'T I GET THE RENTAL FOR FREE IF IT KEEPS DOING THIS? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU.

    Please turn off your caps lock.  All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many will not read such posts.
    If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
    There is no need to keep re-buying it.

  • Hi Apple! I am having a few problems with my 6 month old iPad mini (ios 7.1.1). I am using my iPad and then some time later it just restars! Don't know why and it just keeps doing it! Please fix or if I restore my iPad will it do any good? Thank you

    Plug your iPad into your computer, open iTunes, and click Restore. This will reset your iPad to factory settings, so make sure everything important is stored safely. Once the restore is complete, do NOT restore from your backup.
    If you still have problems, take the iPad to the Apple Store or another AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider). If you're still within warranty, any service will be of no cost. Check your serial number here or find your receipt.
    Hope I've helped!
    PS: This is a peer-to-peer forum. Apple generally doesn't pay attention here.

  • An index of my desktop files appears in firefox. why is it there? does this mean my personal files are accessible from the internet? how can i make sure this goes away and stops?

    i am seeing and index of my personal files on firefox. what is this? why is it there? how can i make it go away? does this mean my desktop files are on the internet? can someone explain clearly and simply (i am not tech saavy at all) thank you

    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
    There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
    Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
    <pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
    Helvetica<br><font face="Helvetica" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font><br>
    Helvetica Neue<br><font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font>
    </nowiki></pre>
    You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page.<br />
    Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

  • Why is my custom background doing this?

    I found a webpage telling the exact pixel size for a iPhone 4/4s wallpaper. I'd used the pixel size a few months ago and it worked perfectly. However I tried creating a couple more backgrounds last night and it is zooming in really far. Below is the image background I created as well as a screenshot of what it is doing to me.
    Does anyone know why I is doing this or how to fix it? I've tried all I can think I and it won't work.
    The background pic I created:

  • Why do these icons keep appearing in my clipboard?

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium on an Inspiron 1520 and Adobe Design Standards CS4. I have a gadget on the side of my desktop called Clipboard Manager where I can see things I have currently or recently copied to clipboard. Every so often, these three icons show up in the list for seemingly no reason at all, typically twice in a row.
    I don't really use the Contribute program in my creative suite, but that is unmistakably the Contribute icon. Does anyone know what causes these icons to keep occasionally get copied to the clipboard? is it something I do without realizing it results in this, or is it some background program action I'm not supposed to notice but am anyway thanks to the clipboard gadget?

  • Every time I try updating to 9.0.1 the bookmarks toolbar text is a mess, words are separated by inches of empty space... a real big mess. I tried updating again today with the same results. Why does 9.0.1 keep doing this?

    I use Win7 on a wide screen laptop. The icons and words on the tabs of the bookmarks toolbar are widely spaced, bookmark text is so widely spaced that labels aren't completely seen (i.e. on the tab with the label 'Will's bookmarks' only Will's...'' can be seen), tabs are normal in size but the words on the tabs have wide gaps between them. It really looks bizarre. this has happened every time I have attempted the update, 4-5 times now.
