Yep, I'm logged on, a moose bit my sister (just this morning, actually), I like cheese, and beeber is set to "stun" :O)

Check with the satelite company.

LOL!

I posted the same pre-emptive declaration yesterday:

Oh, by the way, I am logged in, my moose already ate his cheese, my sister is not involved, my beeber is set properly and no, I cannot afford a Mac.

I had the same issues with my cable modem a few months back, I found out it was overheated and had to replace it.

This is the same behavior my girlfriend has with her wireless modem while in Central America.

She hasn't found a way around this degradation in throughput except by rebooting the modem. It's almost like the system throttles her the more she uses it. I understand how they are doing that, but I don't know how to counter it.

I noticed that a lot of folks are having this problem with wireless internet, although I'm not wireless, and it seems like finding a solution when you're not wireless is a bit more challenging.

This is a photo of the actual modem (plugs go into the sides of "Net," "ODU," and "Power").

There's two ODU slots and one has never been used (it's still got the plastic in it, which you'd have to bust out with a pencil in order to make that slot available).

Maybe bust it out and try the other ODU slot? Any wild guesses?!

Thank you for the replies.

Yep, I'm logged on,

 

Are you? Are you really?

But seriesly, I was noticing the same problem last night on our wireless home network w/a cable modem connection.

Sorry about your sister - I like cheese too but my beeber is currently in for repairs. LOL!

I have a cable modem connected to a desk top on the second floor of my house and I have that hooked into a wireless router so I can connect my wireless laptop downstairs as I use this most often.

I often get connectivity issues mostly in the early evening when other wireless users in my neighborhood are also connecting (I can see them when I try to view wireless networks and I'd love to know who "bhome" is because I'm about to go kick his a$$ for crowding my band width. I bet he's a liberal and subscriber to DU. I think it's my creepy next door neighbor).

Anyway, I either get disconnected entirely or get the dreaded "limited connectivity" message. I have to disconnect and reboot my router, select another port and even then it doesn’t always solve the problem.

I don’t know much about satellite internet but I would ask your provider about network traffic issues in your area.

I also don't have a router, so I don't think it's a router issue.

You don't think it's a router problem?
Surely, there must be a way for you to be absolutely certain.
