what firmware are you running?

also, any bittorrent traffic in your network?

 

[hoangtastic]

currently im using version 3.03.6, no theres bittorrent traffic, ive tried pretty much all the compatable firmwares

are you using wired or wireless? have you updated the NIC drivers?

 

[hoangtastic]

i am wired to my router.. i tried downloading the drivers for the NIC off of asus but once i tried to install it, it sayed processor type not supported? any other suggestions, im serious im about to smash this piece router to bits pretty soon if i cant fix this problem

 

[Asgorath]

try direct connecting to modem

 

[hoangtastic]

yea when i connect directly connect to the modem the ping is fine...

I'm having the sam problem with my v.3

connect to the modem and its fine.
connect to the router (wired) wireless disabled and it'll jump around from 18ms to 300+



I'm currently using DD-WRT, although it does the same thing with linksys firmware as well (4.20.7)
