Port Forwarding Problems
How would I go about this really, or should I just try to ditch the vendor modem since it's crap anyway? |

Re: Port Forwarding Problems
Ditch the Linksys router. I can't stand Linksys gear.

Re: Port Forwarding Problems
Be that as it may, that doesn't solve my problem
 I actually like Linksys, have always had good luck with them.I think I'm going to contact Comcast per Matt's offline suggestion and request a modem only. Problem solved. |

Re: Port Forwarding Problems
Chief Did you remember to set the port triggers?
Zombie I've run Dlink (3 years wireless), Linksys (10 years wired, finally died of old age), Netgear (wired, just installed) and all have been fine. On the wireless which one has the best range seems to change by model. The Dlink has good range with a decent receiving NIC. Now with NIC's I've seen major variation by brand. |

Linksys hardware is not bad, just the firmware. So if you have something that is supported by the OpenWRT or DD-WRT projects I would flash it immediately, and have a lot of added functionality. |
