My new Linksys wireless router is installed... and nothing has changed, my internet service still gets interrupted on a regular basis.
This almost certainly means that it's the modem. The problem seems to be between the modem and the router. Anyway someone on the City of Heroes boards told me two months ago that he had the exact same problem and had Comcast swap out his 3Com modem for a Motorolla modem and his problems were solved. I have a 3Com modem. I tried calling Comcast to have them come out and swap mine out (about two months ago I called them) and they flat out refused to do so because according to them I have no connectivity issues. (As I said... the problem is between the modem and the router, they wouldn't be able to see it from their end.) Well of course this was only one of several very different explanations for what my problem probably was, but now it's looking like it was the correct one after all.
So... I guess I have to take my modem in to their service center now and get a Motorolla. Or just tell Comcast to go to h*ll and get a different ISP. ^_^
Anyway here's a link to the new Blue Diamond Almond flavors (the one I didn't buy and couldn't quite remember is Maui Onion and Garlic).
Tom and I visited Jeff and Jeri-Lynn and had yummy chocolate cake. Tom got his panda suit back, and some other stuff. I gave J & JL a perfectly good Netgear wireless modem and a video card that I'm almost fairly certain is a Geforce 4 MX440 or maybe a MX420, with I think 64mb memory... I think. Maybe even 128mb who knows? Anyway we're pretty sure it's more powerful than what Jeri-Lynn has in her computer currently, which is a Geforce 2.
