Did you set ur Xbox out on the DMZ? This is odd behavior for sure. Never need this before. Hmm. And the WAN section of the router is reporting that the Server is down? Are you getting any information on the WAN side? Hmm. Wonder if you should save off your config, do a factory reset, do some testing with out loading the Config file. See if you get the same thing. Of course, set up a simple WiFi network.

no i havent done anything about a DMZ, my macbook network diagnostics is telling me that the "internet and server" are down. Im trying to see how its happening, my xbox dropped from xbox live once but ive dropped internet on my macbook at least 5 or 7 times, it began happening last night, i had a signal but no internet was coming through.

[Juicy J]

Alright so it's not the router. I'm directly connected to the modem and I'm still getting 2 red lights for my Internet and server. It must be my dsl service that is down.

[FurryNutz]

ok, glad you have been able to track this down. Let us know how it goes. Hope the DSL comes back soon.

[Juicy J]

Yeah im a little late there but it was the internet, not the modem. Phew lol

Question how often would one restart ones router? Mine has been online without a reset for 22 days, the reason i ask is because my streaming seems to be sluggish. For instance youtube, i never have to pause it but lately i have to because it would catch up and right now im streaming a movie over a website and it has to buffer almost every 10 seconds and i normally wouldnt since i have adiquite(spell check lol) speed. I checked my dsl service on there service page and there arent any problems reported on their page so im wondering could it be the router since it hasnt been reset in so many days?
Thanks

Since i dont want to triple post i will add to here, Recently i bought the Wireless N adapter for my xbox and turned my router to 5ghz N only and the amount of errors since gaming a full night was 1 lol yes one error, here are my stats. Now i only did this for last night so i wont have a lot of sent and receive. you could say it was a test run. Ill post results for running 2.4 ghz g+n gaming tomorrow morning.

Nice to see some stats on N gaming for WiFi. Hope it worked well for you last night. I was going to play but was kind of tired.

As for the router reset.

The router technically should never have to be reset accept for updates and possible troubleshooting. Also sounds like the data coming from your streaming is getting bogged down somewhere over a period of time. I would query one of the Moderators and ask them of this issue.

i mean i didnt do like a factory reset i just reset it

[FurryNutz]

You mean a power Off then back on?

[Juicy J]

yea but i did through the system settings, you could say i did a soft reset rather than a hard reset

[FurryNutz]

if you did a reset thru the web page then you did a soft reset. If you pulled the power cord and then plugged it in, thats a soft reset as well. If you Held down the reset button or selected Factory Defaults in the web page then you did a hard reset.

[Juicy J]

Yea i did a Soft Reset. Now im having this streaming problem, internet is fine i can play online(xbox live) but i cant stream on my macbook not sure why.

[FurryNutz]

what are you trying to stream? Maybe i can see if it happens on my MBP.

[Juicy J]

Majority is youtube

[FurryNutz]

Is your MBP wired or wifi?
