Well look at it this way, the fast connection next door is unsecured, take the 10 minutes to break into Johns and once they see the speed they'll go next door:grin1:
I have David's on a separate router using a different subnet and firewalled from the rest of the system(don't ask how I don't want to have to think that hard again):lol:

Yes John agree with 2xg lets see if the new modem gives better speed results first.
WPA2 AES is preferable over WPA TKIP more secure.
Wait for packets to emerge from network use a sniffer and other tools break WEP cipher and read all data being transmitted look for other sensitive data identifying machines and use probes to find weaknesses in firewall. IDS and IPS also needed with deep packet inspection to prevent sniffing. Doesn't need to neccessarily touch the network initially to break the cipher.:grin1:

You mean my WEP code is easily cracked!?!?!?!?
I'm using 128bit encryption!?!?!?!
(Just kidding... I switched to WPA2 once all routers in my home were compliant)

Yes you are correct, but realistically what are the chances unless either you are being targeted or there is no other connection available?

You may never know you are targeted if it is the opportunist the Pro's will have done background and be specific.
Kind of my point, the pros wouldn't waste there time here and would get more data by climbing the pole in the bushes and tapping the phone wire:thud:

The new modem works.

I did change the channel to 8.
Firewall setting = Low
- any setting above Low - Wii cannot connect
WEP 128-bit
- I do want to find out more about WPA, but the 26 digit WEP p/w has already caused headaches getting all the devices set up. They're writing it down, storing it in smart phones; I memorized it!
- can't change this until next week

Now lets see what quality the service is.
TheCyberMan
Networking Expert
Is that late at night 12am onwards?
Is that at peak times or outside of peak times?
Contact Verizon and ask for your Download(ingress) and Upload(egress) Bandwidth your throughput speedtests that you have done should be close to their numbers they give you, mnius overheads such as distance, equipment used and some loss down the wire from exchange.
Let us know these figures.
At peak times the bandwidth will be restricted more than usual they will use traffic shaping and slow down users who have higher bandwidth at peak times to reduce the effect on lower bandwidth users.
Also Verizon can do line quality tests to check you are optimised for best connection bandwidth and reliability of connection. It will be worth requesting such a test.
By the way good you have changed the channel which may help.
Yes your firewall on high setting on provides basic connectitvity for browsing and mail collection.
Medium setting the same except allows portforwarding.
I suppose because the Wii is a gaming machine so it may be excluded from even using the basic functionality so low setting is ok and protects against known threats. Your firewall is an SPI(Steteful Packet Inspection) but does not seem to have any DOS attack protection it is just basic protection.
I also see the firewall rules are editable and custom can be created i think, so there maybe a way to use the Wii on the medium setting by forwarding Http, DNS and Https from Lan Wii ip address to Wan and allow connection from Wan Wii network(website)FQDN or it's ip address to Lan Wii's ip address. This advanced so do not worry about this the low setting will be ok.
Do PS3 or Xbox connect on low setting only.
SSID is set to broadcast is good.
Channel is ok.
You just need to change your wireless security level now John.
Set the security to WPA2 AES personal only do use pre-authentication as you would need a Radius server. Do not set to WPA any.
I know it is a headache but will make you more secure, and others who connect to your network more secure also if they give any smart mouth John:grin1:
Change on router first and then re-configure devices one by one and check for connectivity after each configure to make troubleshooting easier.
All desktops and Laptops/notebooks/netbooks delete wireless profiles and then re-connect to SSID and input network key and new profile will be created.
PS3 go intoNetwork settings>Internet Connection Settings choose Easy> Wireless scan for networks choose SSID>WPA-PSK\WPA-PSK2 Enter network key and press x.
Xbox: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908877
Wii: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/sy...u=connect&submenu=rvl-ht-int-connect-wireless
It does not look as tho it has multiple SSID creation but you may be able to have a guest wireless network which you could configure for WEP possibly check the manual. Your PSP's and gameboys and DS could connect to guest network if supported.
Hope it helps John.

Paul.
They are 2 different ISP's one Comcast the other Verizon:grin1:

Yes they are Wrench remiss of me to overlook that little detail thank you.:grin1:
But we still need to know what Verizon are actually giving John in terms of Bandwidth from their side of the house and of course at peak times bandwidth will suffer to some extent.:thumbsup2:

I have been experiencing frequent disconnects from Verizon... Went out today and bought a new DSL Modem... Hopefully that resolves the issue.

If you have been suffering disconnects from Verizon modem have you contacted them to do some line quality tests?
It may be worth doing.
