New Router
We bought a new Linksys router. It works much better than our old Netgear. Actually, I won't be too down on Netgear because it's worked well for the most part for 3 years, but recently it's performance has gone downhill. I attribute this to Comcast changing up something on their end. I am getting tons of ARP packets from comcast, and I think my Netgear router was being slowed down by it(somehow). However, when I plugin my laptop directly to the cable modem, I didn't experience the slow down. So, we decided to try a different router. We bought another Netgear(newer one, obivously), and it TOO had the same problem, this was very unexpected. We went back and bought a Linksys instead, and it solved the problem. I am glad that this is taken care of. Hopefully this will also improve the speed of this wiki for our readers.
