Endless Paradigm

okay router keeps screwing up (I assume it is the router (I have done nothing wrong to comcast recently(and the router is really the only recent network thing wee have changed))).

so wireless draft n router...
DIR-655 to be exact
WPA with AES
that's about it. Nothing more nothing less. Haven't changed much

Anyway speed test results first
you can see where the general decrease begins to show up

see what I mean?

on the log page of the router it keeps saying
"[info] UDP 6112 Blocked"


and when I ping any domains I generally get this
Please wait, resolving http://www.google.com....

Now I wonder if it is construction because they are tearing up the entire main road of town and may have hit a cable.
Or I wonder if since S4 league uses p2p they think I am using torrents and punishing my bandwith severely.

of course there is always the option that it could be the router but idk...
so anyone have any ideas?

connect modem directly to pc. speedtest.
if connection is improved, trash the router
if connection still fails, go on a murderous rampage on your street for fudgeing up your internet (or call comcast and whine, your choice).

will do

I have similar issues with my Netgear. I got rid of them by running smoothwall and slaving the Netgear as an AP.  But then I had a hardware issue and needed to go backto the Netgear till I have replacement hardware.  Works wonders.

I got it fixed...
Reflashed firmware...then unplugged everything and plugged it back in.
I'm back to 4000
but I'm still 1000 kb and I wonder why our connection isn't faster.

(5000kb was the most I ever got)
I wonder if the old modem slows us down
