I would also like to add, is it normal for ms latency to increase when loading a youtube video? I notice if I try loading any kind of youtube video, my ms to my ISP goes from 8ms to 200ms for maybe 5-10 seconds, then back to normal again. This normal? I have never noticed loading a video before making my latency spike up so much, perhaps I never took notice or maybe its not normal? I played some games mostly all of today and had 0 spikes on the router, now at 9pm I got my first one. I notice most spikes from 6pm - 11pm.

More problems tonight. My fathers computer can't even get online connected to the modem. My computer works just fine though. If I connect his to the modem, he gets Internet then, but not with the router. Getting really tired of this. His doesn't work but mine does? I updated the firmware the other day and this is the first time he's tried it since. Might have to roll back the firmware. Might also just buy a new router. Getting tired of this one. Any suggestions? How important is an N router? I have 2 iPods and laptop that will connect to it. I also want something reliable for handling gaming connections.

Really starting to hate computers.... Way too many things always going wrong.....
