WRT54G with extremely unstable speed/ping.

I seriously have no idea why this is happening, suddenly after the holidays my router has been acting up.
When I ping my router (Linksys Wireless G (192.168.1.1)) it is usually between 1-2ms.
However if I ping google or gamefaqs or something, the ping would be stable sometimes (RARELY) being at around 50ms or it would be extremely high at over 2000ms, or it would fluctuate from 50 to 500.
I have not changed my settings on the router in anyway before the problem started. My isp is NOT the problem since if I directly connect the modem to the computer it would be a constant low ping.
All the computers connected to the router is experiencing the same problem, I have updated the firmware for the router (no effect) and even changed the frequency of the router with the router's home page.
I have tested this all with and without firewalls, with and without virus protection. I have tested it after scanning my whole computer for viruses and malware on safemode. I have resetted the modem by turning off the modem and holding reset on the router for 45 seconds then unplugging and replugging it.
I have updated the firmware and resetted it after.
This is an extremely frustrating problem as it makes it virtually impossible to play any games online, it also makes it extremely difficult to finish any of my University assignments without pulling my hair out with the load times, and I really wish someone on gamefaqs would be able to help.

I pinged google.com and my router at the same time, sure enough the router ping increases a bit (1ms to 2+ or sometimes 4+) when the ping for the Google goes up.

Also some additional information. My ISP is Shaw, I am on their high speed connection, (40-50canadian$ a month).

There are currently 4 computers connected to the router (one wired 3 wireless). This did not cause problems for 6+ the months leading up to this point.

However, when I set the passwords up for the other users of the wireless (so it may work for them) it starts to slow down AGAIN. This has led me to believe that the amount of users on the router is now a factor, even though it had not been for the last year or so.
No one uses torrents, and even if they did the problems would not be the same as that of what I stated above.
There's a lot of stuff to cover here...
You said the router ping slows down when you ping both your router and Google at the same time. What is really important isn't how much the router ping slows, but what the ping times are to both your router and Google.
It's nice to know you are on a cable modem. One problem might be the cable infrastructure is over-subscribed. One test is to get up in the middle of the night - something like 3 or 4 am would be good for this test - and see how your system performs. If it is OK, this suggests other users are saturating a link somewhere. Have you checked with your cable company? They might be able to help - but don't count on it.
Shutdown all other machines on your network and perform the tests. One machine might have malware that is using all of your bandwidth. If everything tests OK with only your machine under test, bring other machines up one at a time to isolate the source of the problem.
Are you using wireless for connectivity? If so, you are sharing bandwidth among not only yourself, but whatever neighbors are using the same wireless channel. If anyone is using 802.11b, that has the possibility to slow down all users of the wireless network. Having said that, I don't think this is your problem but it is something to keep in mind.
Don't discount torrents as being a problem. They will suck up all of your bandwidth, and this can cause delays for other applications running on the network.

Extremely slow speeds on Windows Computers with 5th Generation AirPort Extreme

I just got a new refurbished AirPort Extreme 5th generation. Everything works great for all of my OS X devices and iOS Devices. I am getting my ISPs speeds when doing tests. The issue is when I am using Windows devices. My roommate has a desktop and a netbook and both are getting extremely slow speeds. Speeds like .07Mbps down. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?

You have no large file?? Really.. in the whole computer there is not a windows update file.. a backup file... a movie download file.. nothing.. ??
Anyway that is irrelevant.. the issue is wireless.
Download the latest drivers from the wireless manufacturer.
You will need to find out what wireless card is used and locate the correct download for that model.
On the Airport it is well worth doing the following tests.
1. Change the name to SMB standard.. short no spaces pure alphanumeric.
So if your wireless name is Fred Blog's Airport Extreme wireless
Plesae change it to AEwifi
2. Take off all security for a test.
3. Set channels.. I am guessing the computers are only using 2.4ghz, so set 11,6, 1 in that order.
No improvement.. just put the security back to WPA2 Personal with pure alphanumeric password..
Try and test new drivers and use no firewalls on the computer.. ensure that the computer is correctly set for home network.
Beyond that it is just incompatible.

WRT54G v1.0 Constant Speed Fluctuation

well, we've had the router for about 3 years now with an occasional problem here and there. up until a few weeks ago my computer would always have a speed of 54mbps and excellent signal strength. we currently have 3 computers running off the router, 2 wireless and one wired. the wired comp runs fine, the other wireless comp runs at a consistent 54mbps. my comp on the other hand fluctuates anywhere from 18 - 54mbps. the speed is extremely unstable and is always changing. my signal strength is always excellent, ive updated my firmware, reset my router and modem, tried channels 1,6 and 11, and nothing seems to work. im also using the WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Network Adapter and the driver is up to date. its a major pain when im gaming, every few seconds i get a "connection interrupted" message, and i experience extreme lag. if anyone can help me out id really appreciate it.

Hi… logon to router’s setup page, wireless >> advanced wireless settings >> reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS Threshold to 2304 and save the settings…go to “Application & Gaming’s” >> QoS >> enable WMM support, check whether it makes any difference…

AGP 8x acts extremely unstable

This is my computer:
2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor with 800MHz FSB and HT
Sapphire Atlantis 128MB Radeon 9600Pro GPU
512MB(2x256) Kingston HyperX DDR400 RAM
MSI 875P Neo 2 Motherboard
120GB Serial ATA Maxtor Hard Drive
Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy2 Sound Card
Creative Megaworks 5.1 THX surround sound
16x LiteOn DVD drive
48x24x48 LiteOn CD-RW drive
400 Watt Foxconn Power Supply
19" Viewsonic P95f+ CRT
Chieftec Black Case
Logitech MX700 Rechargeable Wireless Optical Mouse
Logitech Elite Multimedia Keyboard
Cyberpower 825AVR UPS
And a floppy drive!
I'm running Windows XP.
Everytime I set the AGP speed from 4x to 8x, my computer goes extremely unstable. I am using ATI's Catalyst drivers; I've tried a number of different versions and it doesn't seem to change anything. My screen freezes up every five seconds and VPU recover (part of the Catalyst Driver suite) informs me that the graphics card has been restarted because it has stopped responding.
I'd like to figure this out so that I can take back the 250 lost 3DMarks that are rightfully mine.
Any ideas as to why I can't use AGP 8x?
Thanks for listening....

Thanks, netsile! My monitor is the P95f+. My desktop was set at 1280x 1024 @ 85 HZ.
It's not that AGP 8x failed during benchmarks or under complex rendering strains, but on the desktop. I still can't manage to find side-band addressing, only write-combining and FastWrite.
By the way: my card doesn't use a 'Molex' connector.
I would like to try more troubleshooting now, but I have a much bigger PC problem to deal with. Just the other day I decided to clear the CMOS to reset the BIOS defaults before I flashed the newest BIOS (1.9 or whatever, I'm currently using the version that came right out of the box). I was looking forward to MAT, but I never even got far enough to flash the BIOS. Upon switching the jumper back, plugging in and resetting the PC, I get nothing. No video, no nothing (remember, I didn't flash the BIOS). It is very early in the morning and I need some sleep, so I switched the jumper back to the 'clear CMOS' position and popped out the battery. I figured that it would figure itself out overnight.
The next morning, I switch it on to more blackness. All of the fans come on, the drives spin up, and then my motherboard piezo-buzzer speaker thing hits me with an error code: (beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep, and then some time, and then eight more beeps, on and on forever). My monitor comes out of Power-save mode, like it knows that the computer has been activated, but then it goes to sleep again. My PC stays on and keeps beeping in the 8-beep pattern until I unplug it.
I looked up the error code on the internet, and I find that the error is the result of a graphics card read/write error. I recheck everything in the box (I built it myself, I know where everything is) and restart again... and again... and again... The INFERNAL BEEPING never ends. The D-Bracket on my PC is telling me that booting stops right before VGA initialization (LED pattern RRRG). I think, "Oh great, my 9600Pro is fried, not cool" and proceed to remove it from the system.
Later that night, I take the card to my Dad's office where I have constructed him a nearly identical PC, only difference being a Gigabyte motherboard, an older Radeon All in Wonder for graphics editing, and 2-3-2-6-1T Kingston instead of my 2-2-2-6-1T. I take out his graphics card and check to make sure that there's no integrating video. There isn't, so I hook up and power up. I expect nothing to happen, but I am completely perplexed when the thing boots perfectly and continues to hum happily on the older Radeon's drivers that were previously responded.
This test leads me to believe that maybe my AGP slot is messed up, or something. I walk (in the 5 degree F weather that doesn't belong in central Pennsylvania) up to my friend's house up the street. He has an affinity for building PCs out of ancient parts, and I pick up an old Voodoo 3 PCI card from him for testing. I pop that card in my machine, and I get the same INFERNAL BEEPING. Not cool.
Several calls to my IT professional grandfather do nothing to correct the situation. At this time, I've cleared the CMOS probably 249865 times. I unplug everything but the hard drive, CPU, and 1 stick (instead of the regular 2) of DDR 400 Kingston and reboot with the bare minimals. INFERNAL BEEPING ensues.
Now I take out the hard drive. I'm not happy.
INFERNAL BEEPING.
Now I take out the remaining memory stick. Ah! The beeping has stopped! And my PC is gutted, and worthless... Not cool.
Now, I've sent MSI some emails and they may even get a call tomorrow.
I've gathered the original packing material and bookmarked the RMA page.
If I do not discover the answers I seek on one of the 3927 message boards I'm going to post this on, I'm sending the thing back. I've had it for less than four months, and I'm not going to run out and buy a new one when it's not my fault that it doesn't work.
My dad's Gigabyte GA-8KNXP is looking nicer all of the time...
I'd like to thank anyone that decides to respond to this.

KT880 DELTA (SOCKET A) MEM KING 512 400MHZ, EXTREMELY UNSTABLE

HELLO THAT SO, I FINISH BUYING NEW PIECES PROCESSOR SEMPRON 2800+ And TWO KINGSTON MEMORIES OF 512 OF 400MHZ, The PROBLEM ARE IN WHICH SEGUN The SPECIFICATIONS OF The MSI, The MOTHERBOARD KT880 DELTA WORKING PERFECTLY IF The PROCESSOR HAS A FSB OF 300 And The MEMORY A FSB OF 400.
BUT APPARENTLY IT IS A GREAT LIE, IT FORMS PC ASI And HE IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE[/color][/b], IN The SAME INSTALLATION IT SENT The BLUE SCREEN OF ERROR, And WHEN I COULD INSTALL IT With great difficulty, WINDOWS REINCIABA IN CERTAIN SHORT WHILES. UPDATE The BIOS To COMPLETES IT And The ERROR WAS EQUAL. ASI THAT I HAD TO PITIFULLY CHANGE The FSB OF The MEMORY To 333.
However, WHEN IT WAS To 400 And IT MANAGED TO WORK, WAOOO WAS FAST MAS, IT WANTED THAT SOMEBODY HELPED ME WITH SOMETHING, Or THAT The PEOPLE OF The MSI REVIEWED THAT ERROR. I HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT The FIRST BIOS OF THIS SINGLE MOTHERBOARD SUPPORTED ATHLON XP And SOON THEY MODIFIED IT FOR The SEMPRON, BUT DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE PROVEN WITH The MEMORIES, TOO MUCH INSTABILITY, And I QUERIA TO TAKE The COMPUTER to the MAX, HURTS, PLEASE CORRIGAN THAT ERROR Or SOMEBODY HELP ME
I AM PANAMENIAN AND MY ENGLISH IS BAD, JEJE. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hola !
You have to tell us complete PC specs includding P.Su. brand and AMPS to 3.3, 5 and 12v. rails so we can help you better.- Right now I can say, Semprons FSB is 333, no 300, so, if you set it by hand in Bios, you have to set it to that new value. Also you must have in mind that is better to run memory at same speed as CPU. Instability comes when memory send more data than CPU can process in a certain time. BTW Those Kingston memory are value Ram ? You also could try "upping " memory voltage in 0,1-0,2 volts to see if system is more stable. Y trata de no escribir con mayúsculas.

Extremely slow speed when backing up onto Airport Extreme disk

I have a wireless network set up with the Network Extreme basestation. The basestation has a 500 GB iomega drive attached via the USB 2.0 port. The disk comes up just fine, but when I try to use it as a backup disk from my iMac using SuperDuper!, I get an effective peak copy speed of 1.9 MB/s, and it takes multiple hours to perform a ~30 GB backup. The disk is Mac formatted.
For comparison, if I plug the disk directly into the USB port on my iMac, the peak effective speed is ~15 MB/s and the backup takes 35 min.
The iMac and the basestation are both running 802.11n, with an effective speed of 130 MB/s.
On the off chance that it was the disk imaging process that was slowing things down, I have run SuperDuper! with disk imaging back to the iMac's HD rather than the Airport Extreme HD and it runs at ~20 MB/s.
To review:
- Trying to backup to the Airport disk runs really, really slowly and takes forever
- It's not the network speed, the HD speed or the software.
What's up? Anyone else have this problem? One of the reasons I bought the Airport Extreme was to use it as a network back-up HD. If it going to take a day to copy a full iMac disk, then this is clearly unsatisfactory.

I would echo Glyn's assessment. One needs to keep in mind that Apple designed this product as a low cost device to meet the typical requirements of a home user (ie streaming of music, sharing of a few files, and backups without time constraints). If one needs the performance levels typical of a network file server, then this is the wrong product to use. Perhaps Apple's marketing information for this device should make that a bit clearer.

Digikam extremely unstable

The last version of Digikam 1.5.0 is extremely unstable for me. It crashes very often just when browsing photos, it also displays broken thumbnails all the time. Am I the only one who experiences that? If not, is it problem with Arch Linux build, library dependences or just 1.5.0 is unstable?

I don't know the answer. I have a problem with digikam too. It does not present any thumbnail.

Extremely unstable Airport network

[Dutch so sorry for my English]
My Airport network (1 extreme (latest), 1 express (1st gen)) is extremely unstable (especially AirPort Extreme), my iPad and iPhone are being unconnected every 2 minutes or so.
My iMac is connected over ethernet and wifi, my speeds:
Ethernet: 59Mbps down; 5,5Mbps up.
Wifi: 9Mbps down; 5,5Mbps up. (distance between Airport Extreme and iMac is one wall and 5 meters.)
Ridiculous right?!
Especially the problem my devices are trown of the wifi network every couple minutes is REALLY frustrating. Didn't have the problem until like half a year ago.
Tried a lot, the channel stuff (I don't have many networks near my place, so I have few interference), all the basic solutions for the basic problems. None have worked so far.
Hope you can help me, this is kinda my last shot.

WRT54GS with Mac OS 10.6.8 and RCN cable modem not working

Hello,
I have a Linksys WRT54GS, version 6 with Mac OS X (version 10.6.8) hooked up to a Scientific Atlantic cable modem, with RCN as the ISP.
Recently, RCN had some network issues, and so I had to power down and reset my modem. The modem is working fine now -- no problems at all when the Mac is connected direclty to the modem.
The router's network is OK in that I can connect the Mac wirelessly to the network, but I can't connect to the internet through the router (through neither the wireless or wired connection).
I have downloaded the latest firmware update for the router, following the Linksys site instructions, but this has not helped me solve the problem.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? I did call Linksys tech support on the advice of RCN, and they said that the router does appear to be working (power, WLAN, and Internet lights are on), but they would be charging me nearly the cost of a new router to fix the problem.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Since you upgraded the Router WRT54GS with the latest firmware so once reset the Router and power cycle the whole network… Then connect the Modem with Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect any one computer to any one of the Ethernet port on the Router [Numbered – 1, 2, 3 and 4]… Let me know the RCN connection is a DSL connection or cable connection…
So if you have a DSL connection you can refer to this link:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=4020&userrole=Linksy...
So if you have a Cable Internet Connection you can refer to this link:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&vw=1&articleid=3686
As far as the wireless is concern:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
# Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
After doing the settings try to connect the preferred network on the wireless devices and check the connectivity….

Is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?

As asked in the title, is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?
I am very unsatisfied with my latest purchase of the album "Never take ffriendship personal" by "Anberlin" ...
I can find all the songs in much better quality, even on YouTube ...
I bought two other albums by Anberlin at the same time, on which the sound quality is much much better and perfectly clear.
is it possible to get some sort of refund ???

Issue with adding custom speed to a behavior

I am trying to add a custom speed to a write on behavior. The shape I am trying to write on works fine when I have it at any other speed setting but when I set it to custom (which I need to allow it to both write on and write off at the end) the shape disappears. Despite playing with the custom speed percentage, the shape never comes back. Any ideas?

Ok. I opened your project in my Motion 4 and after it updated it, I got the custom behavior to work fine. However, I had a thought so I decided to open it on my machine that's using Motion 3. There I noticed the problem you're having. I was unable to get the shape write on behavior to work either.
I believe the problem to be with your project. It appears slightly corrupt. Here's something you might try. Create a new project. Redraw your circle shape. Apply the write on behavior and keyframe it as I mentioned before. Then copy and paste it into your current sequence to replace the circle you have in there.
If that doesn't work, I'd rebuild your project. Instead of using all those strokes, just make one X and one O and one line. Then use clones for all the others. That should simplify the project quite a bit.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Netflix recommend a minimum connection speed of 0.5 Mbps, however at that speed many of the other features of the Apple TV will be painfully slow.
