I was having download speed issues and after working with Comcast, who was very helpful, it was determined that my router was the problem. I replaced the old Linksys with a NetGear N900 Dual Band Gigabit Router and, Bingo, problem solved. With the Linksys my down load speed was 14.37 Mb/s. With the new NetGear I am now downloading at 50.73 Mb/s from Philly to Chicago. Not much difference in upload speed, both a little over 10 Mb/s. With Comcast the service depends greatly on the tech who answers your call. I got the good one on my second call, the first was borderline brain dead and blamed my PC. When I told her I got the same speeds on 3 laptops and my PC she continued to blame the PC. She said she would try to tweak the service and call me back in five minutes. That was I guess a polite brush off because she never called back. I eventually made another call and got a good tech who patiently worked through the issue with me and hit the nail on the head as to the problem. Gotta love 50.73 Mb/s downloads. eidolonFIRE 1

Especially in FT when you crash, reboot, and then auto assign and wind up on another team and players, not XI, bust your balls for switching teams. My temper with such matters is not conducive to good health or blood pressure. The power supply has been replaced but no help. Next week, while I am out on the road, my son is going to refresh the heat sink material on the CPU. Hopefully that helps. I understand an old friend, Seven, has been gaming. I recommended XI to her and now she shows up and I don't, oh well. She is from Greece......be nice to her, she is a good gamer and addition as a guest. She essentially admined my old group.

That's an excellent router. 50Mbp/s is a decent cable connection.
