    Are these intrusion attempts ?

    My RT-N66U logs are filled with these. Looks like two things are happening. One seems like an intrusion attempts where DST=75.x.x.x which is my WAN IP. Almost all src ip are from china. And the other to 224.0.0.1 seems like a multicast thing from my modem (10.0.0.1). First of all is my...

    Diagnostic logging available ? Need to diagnose random disconnect

    I am running v376.47 on a N66U. The only logs available is the System Log. I am trying to diagnose my windows7-only-dropping-connection problem and was hoping to find something in the logs when the disconnect happens but there is nothing that resembles an error that could be occuring at the time...

    Automatic, Static or PPPoE for Comcast DOCSIS 3.0 ?

    I have a comcast docsis 3.0 modem (arris tg862) in bridge mode and I use an rt-n66u as a wireless router. Auto setup for the rt-n66 selects "automatic ip" in the wan-internet connection type. Does that sound right ? Why not pppoe ? Can I force it to use static ? There is really no isp username...

    Has anyone ever used RTS/CTS and has it helped ?

    This is my last ditch effort at trying to figure out and fix this random "internet" connection drop (yellow exclamation mark but signal strength good icon in taskbar) on my RT-N66U. Here are some quick facts first - 1. Happens only on wireless not on wired. anywhere from every 5-15 mins...

    Is ASUS dead or going under ?

    save your breath mike, I know a thing or two about networking. and about working with tech support of various brands which for the most part are international. What does timezone and holiday and sh!t matter when I am contacting them during their "business hours" ??? other product area chats...

    Is ASUS dead or going under ?

    I haven't done an extended PL test but I did a few (~100) pings to the first hop as you suggested and so far haven't found anything and that was on wireless. Might do one later on wired just for confirming but I dont expect any surprises.

    Is ASUS dead or going under ?

    I don't have any issues streaming video (Netflix etc) on my TV either wired or wireless. Do y think it might still be worth doing a packet loss test ? Still why does the packet loss not bother the old netgear ? TV has netflix built in.

    Is ASUS dead or going under ?

    I tried a hundered things based on suggestions here and also lot of searches on the web, nothing helped. Yes I do mean everything from drivers to settings on the wireless card to the router to Win7. But here's the kicker - my almost 10 year old Netgear that I pulled out to substitute for this...

    Is ASUS dead or going under ?

    I bought a RT-N66U 2-3 months ago. It had a stubborn problem where it was dropping "internet" connection (yellow exclamation but signal good) only on Win7 machines. They asked me to RMA it and I also got it back today, and its as if they just shipped the same unit back without doing anything. It...

    Intermittent "no internet access" and yellow exclamation mark

    Tell me more about this. I think this is the real problem. I may have celebrated too soon earlier after removing the old ssids hiding in the registry. The problem still persisted. So now I have it on fixed ip for a couple of days and so far no issues. What are possible causes for this ? What...

    Intermittent "no internet access" and yellow exclamation mark

    zombie ssids looks like all suggestions are pointing to a ssid hoch-poch type of situation. I did go through a recent ssid spree when I was moving my set up to a new modem and router. On googling for what is a surefire way to make windows 7 forget the network I ran into some scenarios where...

    Intermittent "no internet access" and yellow exclamation mark

    by forget do you mean delete the wireless connection from the "manage wireless networks" window ? then yes I did that too. no luck. I will still give your idea about changing the ssid a try.

    Intermittent "no internet access" and yellow exclamation mark

    Router is a recently acquired Asus RT-N66 and wireless card is a Intel N-1000 (2.4ghz only) in a lenovo sl-410 laptop running Windows 7. I have been having a problem lately that has never happened before in my 4-5 years of ownership of this laptop. Every few minutes (anywhere from 2-10...
