When should I replace my wireless router?
I own a NETGEAR N600 Dual Band router: model WNDR3400.
We've had this router for 2 years now, it works fine. But sometimes, every year since we've owned it, the internet has either went down for a day, or occasionally even the router. We have Comcast XFINITY double play. We get 25-27mbps download, and a 3.4-5 upload speed.
We got this router because me and my brother play XBOX and PS3 at the same time online, while our parents stream videos online. My iPhone 4S once every two months will randomly pick up the signal for 5 seconds, drop it. This will go on for 2 days.
We reset it once every 3 weeks. Once, we changed the security password and it ran fine for 3 months.
Lately, the speed has been slowing down drastically!
I have Xfinity too and my iPhone does that all the time
I'm not sure if it's a router problem
But surely it can't be that every single Comcast user has the same issue as you and I
You might want to invest in a new router, or give the Comcast people that set up your internet a call
They might be able to help
You might want to do that before spending money on a new router
But you can't go wrong doing both

We have a home router (CD-R King brand), everything runs smoothly until someone with an apple device connects to the network. I tried pinging google continuously, but when an ipad or iphone connects.

- Why isn't my belkin wireless router working? I just bought a belkin wireless router (type wpa/wpa2) and I can't seem to get it to work. I activated it on my ipod as well as my iphone and laptop, but nothing is working. When I set it up, the light that said "modem" under it was red even though I connected it to the modem already.
- What's the difference between a cheap router and a good router? Just wanted to know the difference between a cheap router and an expensive router, I know that is a very broad question, I'm just a bit confused on how a router works. Does it increase my Internet speed on multiple devices? I get 50Mb per second, Well at least that's what I pay for. I have a PS3 two iPhones and a tablet, as well as a desktop PC that is wireless. Can anyone recommend an excellent router under $150
- What's a decent wireless router? It's only me and I'll only need to run my iPhone and computer off of the wireless. I'll be using my Xbox with a hard line, so I'm not sure if that effects the wireless speed. I just want something that won't cause me to lose speed. What are some choices under say, $30?
