I assume that you have Wireless Enabled on the modem, that you connect from the PC to your modem's SSID, that you have the same channel (e.g. 6) set in your wireless adapter as is expected by the...

You have to tell us everything about your ISP setup.

ISP name
Modem name
Router name & model
Router settings (WAN & Wireless)

Then do the HJT without connecting to a network.

This is the model without the lights on the left. They're on the ports, right? If there was a manual, it would have come with the device. I suspect Netgear have been sloppy on this. Anyway, it...

Precisely which model do you have? Maybe I can get the right manual. Is it the 108T?

the link won't do anything in the browser. It should download a PDF straight away. Anyway, it should now be attached to this post.

It looks to me that power supply is a problem - cooking...

I recommend that you start your own thread in the Spyware/Virus section and post a HijackThis log.

There you'll find the manual for your model. It doesn't help!

Also have a read of this:

You could download Wireshark, see what comes out of one router in terms of the message frame and deduce what woukld come out of the second router.

You'll know what the answer means in practice...

I can tell you in principle how to do this. But the BT HomeHub is a piece of sh*t that shouldn't be allowed because it has no easy user configurability.

In principle, the second router (not the...

You'd probably want to avoid IP address clashing. I would never connect a switch directly to a cable modem. I'd connect a router instead (the switch can come off the router if you want). The...

Very few people need modem only ADSL functionality - so there is limited choice. So far as I'm aware the only ADSL2+ modem only products available are from Vigor and Speedtouch.

They'd hardly be...

Make sure the big guy on the subway is a Scientologist.

You didn't explain what the objection is to the O2 supplied modem. It might help in understanding your need better.

Possible fix is to disconnect the current lease on your embarq modem by turning it off for 10 minutes or whatever timeout period you think is enough (certainly some minutes).

When you tuen the...

You don't like giving information, do you? Not even to answer my prompting questions. Hmmph.

Have I read between the lines correctly?

You have a DSL modem with three ports to which are...

Without info as to your symptoms (plenty of info) there's nothing we can help you with.

For example you miught be plugged into the network at work, but not at home.

Or your router/DSL modem...

Try googling "LOGMEIN Problems". There's plenty there to feed on.

Is there a firewall in the VT2700 you can configure for your connexion?

So, your PC doesn't have an RJ45 port (nor an ethernet card with such a port).

OK - it is possible that your USB port isn't USB 2 compatible, although you said it was all fine until recently. ...

Can we be precise now as to where the "media is disconnected" report occurs. If I've got you right, your original /release has worked. In that case, the "media is disconnected" and if you do...

You'd run into problems under windows with 2 LAN cards as it'll only allow 1 to work with the socket system.

I would come out of the internet router onto a suitably sized switch (and then maybe...

Most people connect to ehternet with an ethernet port (RJ45) not USB. So what is your exact setup?

You posted this in one of the other forums. Perhaps you could abandon one of the threads.

Vista or XP?
Wireless or wired?
Are you actually connected to the router and is it connected to the...

Of course I know how to answer the other questions. The answer to the first question is the principle behind the answers to the other questions.

Now YOU can do the research on the different...

I did answer your question. I told YOU how to do it. It is wrong of you to freeload in the way you are trying.

You have to be a complete fool not to be able to be able to draw a meshed diagram...

When you are in your Broadcom Wireless Utility, I opresume your 1Mbps is the speed reported in the Link Status tab. Yes?

What are the Signal & Noise values? Your first post suggests you've sort...

You don't give up even though nobody else has bothered to answer your freeloading question.

To get you started out of the kindness of my heart, here is the key tip.

Draw the fully meshed...

It's not what the forum is for. Can you imagine the amount of work you're trying to freeload off forum members when YOU should be doing the research?

It's not fair, is it?

I know you'd like to expedite stuff - but if you scale up the chatware idea to the hundreds of people who like to do the same for the same reason, it would take over the lives of those who help with...

I don't regcognise this router model you gave:
Netgear GRV614 v6

Did you mean the WGR614v6? (label on bottom)

Are you 100% sure that you loaded firmware 2.0.19_1.0.19 onto your router? This is...

Is this your exam queastion?

"My router speed used to be 48Mbps"

You don't say, but presumably this ia a wireless connexion to the router and nothing to do with the modem speed. Yes?

Also, whilst we're trying to help you,...

I think it was resetting the router that did it rather than anything else you've changed.

I hope I'm onto the right track here.

If you haven't already done so, have a read of this article and look again at your DNS Suffix Search List. Why do you need one?

How's about posting an HJT log in the Virus forum?

Then we can see what's going on. Perhaps read the first three stickys in that forum first.

Maybe the brainios here can come up with something - but I've been through your HJT three times and can't find any trace of what might have screwed your system up.

The worst trojans take over a...

Not easily without your HJT log and preferably configuration details.

Did you try Windows Repair from the CD?

Usually though a trojan sets itself into the registry and gets something going each...

It's no hassle and doesn't cost a penny.

I came across this article which sort of mimics your situation. (You are in Room 2)....

You are in any case sharing bandwidth across several machines. Is your worry about the drop from 100Mb per wired link to 54Mb wireless across all links?

My instinct would be to put the router...

Is this only a wireless phenomenon? i.e. when you are wired to the router all is always satisfactory?

When you are connected wirelessly, you should be able to obtain signal strength diagnostics...
