Thanks to those of you who responded to my email. I took a radical step and had the cable repair folks stop by (Comcast). The tech found that the amplifier installed the last time we had a tech out (2-3 yrs ago). He removed it and my dl speed stayed at a constant (more or less) 800 kbs throughout a series of large dl's. . He also advised against running the coax through the battery backup.
So it wasn't the router. I took everything apart, reinstalled the router and all seems to be well. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that it doesn't appear that I can completely turn off the wireless feature but I think I have made it pretty secure. Ah well, another bump on the road to XP happiness. Good week to all, Harry -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of BobJohns Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 8:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RESEND::router problems You should try resetting both the Cable Modem and the router. Reset the router after the modem is running. Sometimes that makes a difference. Bob J.
