alu macbook crashing my router with WoW

Yeah no way a G router would be able to handle that level of WoW. Get at least a double speed G router, or at best an N or N1 router.

Try this

Or if money is no issue, this is a good option.

Hope this helps!

 

Saw those two options... I was like $119 for a router? Buy an Airport Express Station. It has 802.11n put in so its way faster than any 802.11g router. Also its $20.00 cheaper than that Belkin (may go lower with Education Discount), its Apple Branded (which means better compatibility), its much smaller, it allows up to 50 wireless users at one time (but, are you really gonna have 50 people in you network?)

Edit - I forgot the fact you have a desktop hooked up to your current router. Meh, never mind my idea then. Express Stations don't hook up to desktops unless the desktop has a wireless card in it.

 

Is this a belated April Fool's thread??

 

What's the hardware version of your router?

 

Must be April

Im in agreement.. "g" speed would handle anything WoW could throw at it... be sure all firmware has been updated, turn off security (briefly) and retest.

 

Yeah I hope the G router thing is a joke. Your internet's maximum bandwidth could NEVER cap out your router..

The problem lies somewhere else - packet configuration might be bad, hit the reset button on your router and try again.

 

Go to the Linksys support page for your router, establish the hardware version using the serial number, and check if there's any firmware update.

If there's a Linksys firmware update, try that first. Otherwise, you might try installing a small version of DD-WRT according to the notes for your particular hardware version.
