Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

Yup so far so good. Hap a bit of trouble on one of the tablets getting it Internet access, but I think that was an issue with the tablet rather than the network. Reboot fixed that problem. I had some issues getting a laptop going. Connected to the network fine, but no Internet access. Once I...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

Perfect. I just switched them to the same SSIDs, we'll see how it works out. I was just about to say that FiOS services seem to be working fine, but I just went to try and play a recorded program on the STB in the computer room from the DVR in the family room. In the past, there have been no...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

Thanks for the tip. I tried this, but I'm not sure if I screwed something up or not, so I just reverted back to different SSIDs to distinguish them. I set them all to the same SSID, yet I left them unsecured, as I don't live in a busy area, and the neighbors aren't too close to worry about. Do...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

OK so here's the update. I ordered an Asus RT-N66U that came in today. I didn't feel like using the N53 due to some reviews I'd read, and didn't want to trust it to handle everything. Instead, I opted for the more powerful N66U. Everything went great. I followed the steps for Option #7 from...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

Yeah, good point, the lights mean nothing to me, really. In fact, the less lights blinking in my face, the better. I'll have some time on Wednesday to try and switch everything over. Hopefully it'll go off without a snafu. Thanks for all the help, I'll report back when I get it all set up!

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

WOW OK so it took me all day, but I think I've finally got it sorted out. I can't completely test everything and go through with the router switch right now, as people are using the services, but here's what I've found out. Apparently, the Asus RT-N53 has LAN Port 4 and the WAN port...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

Thanks for the responses. I did call up earlier about releasing the MAC bound IP, and also tried the MAC cloning, both to no avail. I did flash my RT-N53 back to stock firmware, and I noticed the lights that were previously not on, were now on. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to connect to the...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

OK so to update, I tried out Option 7, but I seem to have run into a snag. I made a post over at DSLReports, seeing as this is more a specific problem related to their walk-through. I'll quote that post in case anyone is interested: Does anyone here have any experience with the RT-N53 and...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

Awesome, thanks for the links! I reviewed the different tradeoffs, and I think I'll go with option 7, depending on the answer to this question. For option 7, Remote Access to DVR is listed as N3. Looking at note 3, it says: 3) Verizon does not officially support remote (web) access to the DVR or...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll reply to each below. I've got a few things running off the router. Ok, maybe more than a few. There is only one PC on the router as a wired connection. The rest are other devices. I have two 4-port mini switches that I use around the two televisions for...

Intermittent slow speeds/router reboots. Failing NIC?

OK so here's the story: I currently have Verizon FiOS as my provider. I pay for their 50/35 plan. Most of the time, there are no problems, everything is great. The problem seems to come, strangely, after 8PM. I know with FiOS, you have your own line, so neighborhood bandwidth usage shouldn't...
