Wireless router speeds
DC:
thats the router status/settings page...
when it drops if i check the status it sometimes shows 0.0.0.0 then i few mins later it's back up..
it's like the router and cable modem get out of sync or something....

I've never ran a software firewall, my hardware firewall is all I ever needed.
Also one thing that not a lot of people realize is that most modems, switches, and routers we buy in the store for consumers are NOT hot pluggable. Yeah you can usually get them to work that way, but it causes inconsistencies and disconnecting problems. Are you by any chance disconnecting computers through the wired ports?
I found the following to help for the longest uptime:
shut down all components, wait a minute
plug everything in (if you ever make a change, you have to repeat this whole process again)
power up modem
power up router(s) and switch(es) in the order that they're connected
then start up computers.
make sure you have a key on your wireless network so other people aren't getting on it obviously, and also make sure your p2p clients are properly configured to not overload the connection.
