As far as I know the router is maybe a year and a half old. My parents upgrades their cable-internet-phone bundle and it came with an Arris wireless router/cablebox/DVR combo box-thing. I'm not sure on the exact model. I considered that maybe a firmware update was the issue, and I tried logging into the router and I found out that my parents were actually smart enough to change the username and password from Admin, and I wasn't able to figure them out. I would ask my parents, but they don't think there is anything wrong with the router, as they don't really use WiFi accept to update Facebook on their smart phones, and of course I don't want to do a factory reset because I don't want to change the username and password to get into the router.

Hey everyone, Lately our router has been acting funny. The Wifi connection to my laptop will be fine, and then randomly the internet speed will go from 15Mb/s all the way down to 0.5Mb/s, Power cycling the router seems to fix the issue, but the problem has been happening more and more. When it first started happening, I would only have to power cycle the router once a week, then I need to once every few days, and now I seems like I have to power cycle it every 203 hours. Hardline connections to the router aren't effected, just the WiFi. Any suggestions?

alright thanks guys, I'll be sure to keep this in mind!

Hey my first real post on the forum! Anyway, I'm going to be building a computer in the next month or so. The problem is, where the computer will be located is going to be to far away from the router to run an ethernet cable to. I don't really want to invent in a wifi card for the new computer because the only time I'll need wireless is for a month or so when I'm at my parents place before I go off to school and take the tower with me, and once I'm at school it wont be a problem as there are ethernet ports in the dorm rooms. So, is it possible to use my laptop to pickup the wifi signal, and then connect my new tower to my laptop via an ethernet cord, and then be able to connect to the internet on the tower. I hope that makes sense! Thanks in advance!

I could really use a new phone, still rocking the LG Envy 3

I hope I win! Thanks for doing the give away

Having PCIe 3.0 doesn't really matter, no cards out there are bottlenecked by PCIe 2.0

I really wish they would've just done it in 2 parts instead of 3. I felt like throughout the movie they spend on hour alluding to what is going to happen in LOTR. I went to go see the Hobbit, not LOTR...

Haha, I know right? I got the name when I started playing Minecraft and I just thought of two words that I thought sounded cool when read in succession

I feel like the layout was designed for 1336x768 screens, because it looks perfect on my laptop screen. But usually I have a 22" 1920x1080 monitor plugged into my laptop and it looks TERRIBLE on that

Sup guys! Been watching NCIX and Linus for awhile now, despite the fact that I only have a crummy laptop :( Once I get some money working over the summer I plan to finally build myself a proper gaming rig and I'll be sure to keep all of you guys updated on that! Also, Linus if you read this. I'm the dude who emailed you about Final Fantasy VII being better than VI. I'm gonna start playing VI once I get back to school in a few weeks and then I'll email you and I feel like I'm still going to tell you that VII is better than VI
