Hey guys...
I just got the Linksys WRT54G (I wanted another one, my dad wanted that one cuz its cheaper, we had the Linksys BEFW11S4 before). Anyways, I'm having lots of trouble using the webcam on msn. I can get it to run, but the speed is total crap and it shuts down after about 5 min of usage or so. This happens only in my house though. Right now I'm at work, and they have the same router as I do, but the webcam works flawlessly. We both have the same internet connections with the same speeds and the signal strength is the same as well. The difference that I notice is that over here, when I look at the network connections, I have the wireless listed, and also another category called "Internet Gateway". Under that it has one item called Internet Connection, the type is Internet Gateway, and the status is disabled. In my house this isn't shown, and I only have the wireless connection listed.
I'm curious, if both routers have the same firmware, what could be doing this?
I looked at the router configs and there's no port forwarding on either of them, and both of them have UnPnP enabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Apu
EDIT: Both routers are the same versions, and the one difference is that my home's router isn't using DHCP, while the one here is. When I connect here however, I don't reconfigure to use the DHCP, I just keep the same settings as in my house and I can still connect.
