under my network it shows the names you have on the device itself for example I put named all my xbox 360's under network settings in the console and thats the name that appears under my network on the router

Set up my 5500 using OSX 10.8.4 as well using Safari. I was wired to the router while I got it all configured and set up. I have't seen any issues at the moment. Just basic configuration and looking around. I finally switched over to 2.4Ghz WiFi using Single mode N, WPA2 and AES only. 5Ghz is set for mixed ALL mode, WPA2/AES only.

What Mfr Modem and Model # is your ISP modem?

I'll check my WiFi settings. I have the Motoroal SB6141. I also changed the routers ip address. There is something this router doesn't like. I had to restart the router again so I could access the internet.

Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended.

Well a bit of an update.

As the router is on, it is finding the older devices that were connected on my old wifi.  I has found the printer and a security camera that I was not looking to reconfigure (pita).

Also, with 2 Rokus streaming 1080p as well as 2 tablets in use and me gaming on my hardwired rig, my ping is down 10ms compared to the 4500.

I have had a few issues in the configuration menu.  Mostly, you need to allow it time.  It appears to by dynamic updating for the network and it configuration.

Newegg has some very great shielded CAT7 cables by Rosewill for very affordable price.  Highly recommend.

Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps.

[FurryNutz]

Recommended distance between devices is 2-3 feet approx.

I wonder why my weather station lost contact with the remote sensor......

Funny how I tried everything technical and forgot about the easy thing to do. I swapped out cables. I'll let you know how it does.

[ASTRO_Henry]

Ya, we can. Let me know when a good time frame is for you. I'm headed home now. Woo hoo.

Have a good weekend everyone.  

Hey furry. Got home did the HARD? Reboot and still moderate. I reset the router to factory settings, did not reserve any, turned off Media Server, ONLY 2.4, booted Xbox 360, Xbox 360 Priority 1, have UPNP ON and booted up Halo 4 and Black Ops II and they're OPEN.

I guess the RESERVE is buggy.

I'm not having a good experience with this router. I  hanged out the cable same issue. I'm able to surf for a little bit then it doesn't work and I cannot access the router until I reboot it. I also did a factory reset and kept the default is same thing. I had to hold the factory rest for 20-30 seconds before it worked.

Edited: I terminated a new Cat6 cable and I think I may working now. I uploaded my config and so far so good and that's with the IP address changed. Usually the disconnect is right away and so far its been about 10 minutes.

[FurryNutz]

Mine is reserved. Try reserving the IP addresses. I set my reservations at 192.168.0.198 and .199 for my 2 xboxes. Then set your other non xbox or gaming devices down low, .100 thru .120 or how many devices you have.

Reservations is working.

There has got to be something going on there. You have a good ISP modem, It's a step up from mine. If the ISP signal is good to the modem. There shouldn't be any issues.

I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.

Does the ISP have any boosting or DNS services that are online in addition to having Internet Services?

Get throttling Internet speed with Stream Boost enable.
ISP is Charter
With Stream Boost enable I get down 85.96 Mbps and up is 4.28 Mbps
Without Stream Boost enable I get down 102.94 Mbps and  up is 5.27 Mbps

I gotta try to disable it to see if I get my full bandwidth.  That would suck to have to disable the main feature of the router lol
