Netgear WGT624 V3 - Wireless DSL Connection Too Slow For Online Gaming
Aug 31, 2011
Moved into my grandparents for the time being. They have a DSL network...not sure how fast, but it seems very slow. I got a new computer and had to download CS:Source again over steam. It took all night to download and now when I try to go find servers none show up
They have a tiny motorola dsl router. Not sure on the model number as some of the numbers o the sticker have faded away. I hooked it up to my Netgear WGT624 v3 wireless router via the gygabyte 54mbps wireless pci card.
Can I test the connection to see if it is capable of running online games? I've got my iphone 4 hooked up to the wifi and it runs fine...same with this computer web surfing

I just had Comcast setup my internet and it is really fast. 30 down, 10 up, 40 ping, my connection to my computer (wireless) is very fast and my online gaming (wired) is not laggy at all.The problem lies with the connection dropping when I am online gaming. I connected directly to the modem and there's no problem at all. I connect to my Linksys EA3500 and once I start playing in an online game, I disconnect from Xbox Live and am dropped from the game... anywhere from right away until about 10-15 minutes into the game. This is the only time where my connection falters at all, otherwise it is great. But I play online a lot, and competitively, so I obviously need a stable connection.I have not had this issue with my previous ISP in New York, Time Warner and that connection was much worse. I'm thinking it must be a setting on the router that is causing this, but I can't pinpoint what. I tried automatic AND static connections from my xbox to the router. On the static connection, I even put a DMZ on it, but to no avail.

I am with a reliable, well-supported local ISP. I have a brand new router, AND modem, both with the latest firmware/updates installed. I have tried resetting routers and modems, changing channels, moving the the position of my router for better signal. And yet still, inexplicably, my connection continues to be slow and choppy, and extremely unreliable. Greatly varying download speeds, and constant disconnecting. I have run out of things to try, short of calling in a technician. Is there ANYTHING I can try to do?

After a quick power surge forced my desktop to reboot, it can't connect to my wireless network, even though everything else can. It may have been applying windows updates at the time of the surge.
Earlier today I shut down my computer to apply some windows updates. A few minutes after it rebooted a power surge knocked it out for an instant and the computer rebooted again. I don't know if it was done applying the updates but for some reason it can no longer connect to a wireless network. It keeps saying "unknown reason" when it fails to connect. I think I had a static IP attached to it.
My iPhone and iPad can still connect to this network, but this one computer can't. It's a desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium with a broadcom adapter added to it. It's too far away to connect to any wired connection. My router is a Netgear WGT624 v4.
I don't think I can post any IPconfig information here because I'm forced to type this on an iPhone.

I want to share mobile broadband with another computer.One desktop running on windows7 and connected to wireless router netgear wgt624 v3 via ethernet cable. The other laptop is running on windows7 and has wireless card. Both computers are connected wirelessly via router on private network within workgroup and can share files between each other. The mobile broadband dongle is connected to desktop pc and desktop is running the internet Now I want the desktop pc which is running internet by wireless dongle to share that internet with laptop via wireless router. I have tried setting is up but couldn't do that. When I connect the dongle to desktop pc it use the same IP address 192.168.1.1 which is already used by wireless router. Tried to configure different IP in router but didn't work.

OK I want to be able to play MMORPGS and other online games without any latency (or as little as possible). I have wireless 25mb internet in my house but the router is not in my room it is about 25 meters away in my parents room. I experience latency with my current set up while gaming online so I have decided to switch to wired. What is my best option for doing so? Running a wire through from the router to my room would be possible but I need to know if the length will effect performance and what type of Ethernet cable I would need (including estimated price). The other option is to move the router from that room to mine but im not familiar with how this would be done and what the costs would be

How to I find out what ports my Playstation 3 uses for online gaming? Im sure i could search online and find out but im saying how do those websites find their information? For example, even if it doesn't, let's assume Playstation Network uses port 250. How would I manually find this out? And once I find this out, how do I find out what ports any particular game uses? This way I can forward all of these ports in my router. Also, am I correct in assuming that I could simply skip all of this port forwarding and just assign my Playstation 3 a static IP address and place it in my router's DMZ, thus forwarding ALL ports to my Playstation 3? my roommate has an Xbox and plays on Xbox Live. We own 2 routers. Is there any way I can connect 2 routers to my cable modem so that 1 router can be dedicated for my Playstation 3 while the other router can be dedicated for my roommate's Xbox?

I keep getting disconnected from internet every once in while. Maybe for a minute or less, but there was never any obvious sign of disconnection, IE. my tray icon never says disconnected or limited connectivity. But there are signs of getting disconnected when I am either gaming or watching videos online. The video would buff a bit then get stucked, then loads after a few to 30 sec delay. When gaming, I would lag out or have everyone waiting for me to connect back (warcraft3, starcraft When I am downloading files, this does not ever happened, no matter how big the file size is. This problem started a few days ago. I tried restart the modem but I cannot possible do that every 15 mins. Another problem that could possibly be also be the same is that I am connected but cannot browse websites. If I am downloading anything, it will still keep download, i just can't browse or log on to online games.

I take my ASUS G53SW laptop and play games on steam. My problem is that my wireless connection is so slow and I am limited to single player only games, I get bored after awhile and would rather play some online games. While trying to update a patch for League of Legends I was getting a whopping 5-7 Kbps download rate. If I try playing an FPS such as Counter strike, or left 4 dead I can join the game fine, but then my ping skyrockets into the 500+ range.

I have a 1.25 mbps download and .2 upload speed. I have a netgear n600 router and have wireless and cannot change to wired. I have around a 120 ping all most always. My current speed is the best in my area too. Is there any kind of equipment that will give me a lower ping for online gaming? Is there any router settings for this?

I have a Netgear CGD24G Wireless Gateway and a Gateway MA8 laptop with after-market Windows 7 (Vista got a virus, went ahead and upgraded.)Now, when I download 100 MB files on my Xbox 360 (Which is wired to the modem) it will be downloaded in a couple minutes, or less. The other computers in my house (There are plenty, and even more that come and go.) get a blazing internet connection, and most of them are wireless.Now this computer, which had an extremely quick connection as well all of a sudden dropped off, while the rest of the computers remain fast.I've gone to Speedtest.net before and after this occurred and my speed before was around 12 mb/s, and one time around 4 AM was even upward of 25 mb/s, all of these tests were performed multiple times on different server locations. I JUST did the speedtest, and it came back with .4 mb/s, and the UL speed was 2.0. I honestly can't remember what I averaged with it prior to the problem, but it was definitely higher as well

I have set my WLL modem to connect automatically to my laptop when switched on. It does connect and work well until there is another modem in the neighborhood coming online.The task bar icon shows I am still connected but the connection is gone. I tried troubleshooting the network, reconnecting from laptop giving the passkey, log off and log on but none of these work, except restarting the modem. This has become a pain and has been so since I purchased this 4 months ago.Is there a setting change that can be done?

I live in a college dorm that has pretty lousy internet. There is no WiFi, just 2 ethernet ports per room I own multiple wireless devices, so wifi is basically a must, but with a wireless router the connection is too slow to even play xbox live. A friend of mine mentioned that I could input multiple ethernets into my wireless router, so I was kind of hoping that was somehow possible, even though I am pretty skeptical. I have a Netgear WPN824N router

I have a pretty basic NETGEAR router right now. I have a Zyxel modem that Centurylink sent when I signed up for my DSL service. The Zyxel modem connects to my NETGEAR router. When I play online either wireless or wired from the Netgear modem I have major connection issue.However, if I disconnect from the netgear modem and connect from the Zyxel directly to the ps3 I have zero problems.

I've been gaming all day and my ping has been extremely high. I figured it was someone in my house downloading something but now it's... 1 a.m. I checked my whole house and shut down everyone's computers so I'm positive no one is stealing my bandwidth.

I was playing a MMO game called Wizard101, when randomly, I disconnected from it. I tried first to re-connect to the game, no success.So I tried going to its website, loads very slowly, sometimes not loading at all.Then I wanted to try go to its fansite, to ask for support there, but it turns out that the fansite isn't loading too.I try to load a few more pages that is related to the game, but none of them will load.However everything else seems to load just like normal.
I try to fix this with using my usuall fixes:
- I tried connecting to the websites on another computer. Didn't work.
- Restarted my internet + reset my router back to standard. Neither did this work.
I haven't changed any of my internet settings in a few months; so I doubt anything there would be the problem.

I have a WRT160NV3. When more than 1 member of the family is using a device it gets really slow. For example, we have 3 laptops and a PS3. When the PS3 is being used for online play and someone gets online to watch videos, etc it is extremely slow. Is there an update to the router or do I need to upgrade?

One of my laptops is having a connection problem. I have 3 other laptops that can connect perfectly with my router, and normally there's only 1 laptop that is connected to my router. The laptop with the slow connection (takes 5 HOURS to load a website, sometimes will not even load), i re-installed the OS, and installed all the drivers needed, and it still wont work. it shows strong connection to me, and im sure the password for the router is right. below is the ipconfig/all information. Having this problem for 2+ weeks now!!! I think this problem started when i restored my router to factory setting, my router is Netgear WGR614v6.

I recently installed a NetGear router to my PC in order to do online gaming. Now my laptop does not connect to the internet. I have spent over 9 hours on the phone with Centurylink (the internet provider); Netgear (the router) and HP (the laptop). Each one says its not their problem. The laptop can find our connection, it says "Connected". However it then says "Internet access denied".

I have a Netgear N600 WNDR3700v1 Dual Band Gigabit router and am having a problem with the wired connection with my PC. Everything wireless in the house works fine. In fact, I also have a Direct TV box hooked up for on demand and a sling box hooked up (both wired) and they work find. It's just my PC that is having issues. If I bypass the router and hook straight into the modem, it runs fine also so I have something going on between the router and this PC. I updated the NIC driver and this did not work. Before the update in the device manager, it said it was a NIVIDA nForce Network Controller (if I remember right) and now it says NIVIDA nForce 10/100 Mpbs Ethernet. It was suggested that I change my speed and duplex to match the router after I update but I am unsure what to change it to.

I have a wired connection to the router and typically all works fine. I have several Ipods and laptops accessing the router wirelessly with no real problems. As soon as I start playing America's Army (2.8.5) on my desktop (wired) my wireless connections all drop and the kids start yelling to turn the internet back on. When I exit the game all goes back to normal...

I have playon and the online bandwidth is showing slow. I did speedtest and it shows 20mbps, but the playon says below 2. No windows (7) security is enabled and avast is turned off. i rebooted and get the same results.I also cannot do any updates for my windows 7. I try and it says that it cannot do the update. I check the logs and all of the updates were done fine up to when I installed the 655; now it doesn't work.
Playon support says check network, which I have done, and the only thing left is the 655.

I'm using a Netgear WGT624 Router for my firm's intranet. At home I'm using a router called NSW-R2 by Gembird..
What I want to do is connecting my PC at home (Windows XP) to my firm's intranet so I can print on my LAN Printer or edit files on my NAS.
I've heard about VPN tunnels, but I don't want to keep my firm PC on 24 hours a day. So is it somehow possible, to build a VPN or something similar by only using the Netgear WGT624 Router?
Edit/More Information: I've steup a DDNS. My Router supports Port-Forwarding. I'm currently using Remote Desktop. Both PC run Windows XP Professional.

Something a little odd happened the other night. I had spent the afternoon updating all necessary programs where updates were available, did a GRC shieldsup test, did a clean and test of my system with AVG and MBAM. Everything looked fine.I went online that night however and as soon as I went to my online banking website, I noticed that there was an outgoing attempt logged in my firewall (ZoneAlarm). It was blocked. The IP address is 72.167.239.239:80 - which apparently fits in GoDaddy's IP range. Googled it and saw that someone else had the same issue.

I have 2 laptops, a DELL (windows XP home) and a Toshiba (windows 7).i suddenly couldn't get online with my Toshiba a week ago. Looks like I'm connected, but just can't send out. I changed to the DELL and all was fine for days, then I suddenly couldn't send out for a website with this, either. My connection shows strong, and can receive, but can't send out. This is a secure network (supposedly). I've rebooted, and have internet phone that works, so it's not the modem.

I have Charter Cable internet and a SMCD3GN2-RES Gateway and I was wondering if it can support multiple Xboxes. Right now I have it setup with a few switches in the network but I can't seem to get both of the Xboxes on open NAT at the same time. Also, my PC loses connection randomly and can't game online.
