Router/modem help
Been playing with MJ for a little over a week trying the solve audio problems.
When I run Testyourviop I get reading of 2.4 to 3.1 and choppy audio. When I re-boot the router and the modem the test readings fall between 3.7 and 4.0 and the audio is much improved. Does this tell me anything other than I have to reboot the router and modem whenever I want to use the MJ? Is there some setting that would eliminate the need to constantly re-boot?
I am on Comcast cable.

Some routers actually degrade (getting slower & slower internet connection) when being on for a long time. Rebooting the router puts it back on a "fresh" state, all cached data, buffers are cleared thus improving performance ... until it's getting slower and slower again. Some routers are built & designed better than others. I had bad experience generally with Netgear, SMC, D-link, Airlink-101, Belkins products. I have good experience generally with Linksys, Buffalo, XyZEL, Cisco. YMMV

I have comcast cable... I have a Linksys 2102 connected to my cable modem and a Netgear WGR614 v6 connected to the Linksys, I get a 4.0 at Testyourviop everytime i test... no need to reboot. Had this Netgear router for almost 2 years with no problems... Just make sure you update the firmware when available and everything will be just fine.

You dont need to purchase the Linksys, im saying to update the firmware of your netgear router.shade wrote:Concerning the Linksys 2102, I see both "factory" and "unlocked" units for sale on the internet, which do I need. With the configuration above, the MJ resides in the computer usb port and the analog phone plugs into it..not into the Linksys, correct?
