All of it!
I wasn’t necessarily looking for an explanation, I just thought it a good idea to publically embarrass myself.
Okay thanks for the replies guys but think I’m just gonna buy a new one. It’s acting crazy lately. It even removed the password from my wireless and renamed it to ‘Motorola’. what the fuck? I’m fed up. Any suggestions for a new one ?
D-Link DIR-655
Don’t use D-Link. All of the newer ones have botched firmware. If you have one that isn’t doing this, don’t update your firmware otherwise it will start doing this.

Instead of having half the TF2 community suggest the router they currently have and raving about it like a bunch of dribbling spastics, could we just have people who actually know about routers (like know about them, not just looked up the most expensive one on the PC World website) giving reasoned suggestions.
(I’m not going to suggest one as I’m not an expert on SOHO routers)

In your country, idk what is your knowledge like?
Some router installations are alot more straight forward than others (belkin for cable put install disc in follow on screen instructions)
Out of the hundreds of routers i’ve installed, I don’t seem to RMA many Belkin or cisco routers, I’ve sent a fair few netgear routers back, not had any issues with US Robotics/3com routers, and since cisco aquired linksys their routers have improved alot
Just make sure where ever you buy whatever router from, it is easy to return if it does not work, and make sure you can take it back to the shop and not have to RMA it yourself

I have sold maybe 250 D-Link DIR-655. Maybe got 5-10back, not because they were broken. Because the customers thought it was hard to configure, couldn’t do it or because they didn’t need that fast router.
Netgear people bring back all the time, we sell mostly the cheap so nothing strange there, but even the more expensive ones come back aswell.
Linkys have had one really great model (WRT54GL) But it didn’t have the speed (original)
The DIR-655 is a great router with good thoroughput (100Mbit no problems) good Wlan capabilities and not so pricey. And really stable! Yes i have it myself also but it wasn’t because i was told it was good, was because i knew it was good.
And never use a cd to install a router. You don’t have to install a router, just configure it. Don’t install shitty utilitys the manufacturer sends with the router. All you need is a web browser.
Yeah i work in a computerstore.

My cousin told me that I have to call the company that set it up the first time and maybe buy one that they have in their shop (I can’t set it up myself :/). I’ll definitely ask if they’ve got the D-Link DIR-655 though.
And how can I find out the speed of my connection? I tried speedtest.net and apparently it’s download 7.54 Mb/s and upload 0.25 Mb/s. Is that any good?

If you know sweet FA, you have a cable setup I assume from reading OP, most cable routers are 1 click installs whether using the CD, or going to control interface using web browser (personally i’d never use the router utility that comes on the CD, but they have got better over the years).
*edit*
I you or anyone in house use a wifi connection for ease make sure the new router has the same SSID and security code (and type), then you will not have to re configure all the wifi adapters

Okay cheers mates. Probably gonna buy one on Tuesday :) I’m gonna post if I need more help regarding the installment or something :) keke
edit: just checked on the company’s page. They only have 4 routers :s I think the best one would be the third one ( http://www.internet.lu/cal_home/20070125164730.htm ), a Scientific Atlanta EPR2325 Wireless Cable Modem/Router. Is that any good?
