I ditched my SB6120 modem in favor of a Cisco DPC3010. The 6120 is a 4x4 modem (4 downstream channels and 4 upstream) while the 3010 is a 8x4 modem (8 downstream and 4 upstream). As a matter of fact, when I upgraded to Cox 50/5 service I had to change modems as the 6120 was incompatible with that level of service. So I would check with your ISP to see if you are experiencing any kind of bottleneck there. I have had no trouble with the 3010 and it was only about $70 online.Hoping someone has a fix for my issue pertaining to this router. Here is my situation...
I have a Motorola 6120 modem and pay for cable speeds of 30/5. Attached to the 6120 modem is the Asus rt-n66u router. The only wireless devices that access the router are a laptop and occasionally an iPod Touch. Wired connections consist of an Xbox 360, PS3, Blu-ray player and my TV. In the hopes of increasing connection speeds, I enable DMZ and set an IP address (.5) outside the range of DHCP. (range is: .25-.255). I only assign the DMZ IP to my PS3 as I try to game. LOL
Anyways, I connected my 1.5 TB external hard-drive containing a few .avi files. Prior to adding any files to the hard-drive, I formatted the drive using my Windows 7 laptop into exFat format. All wired devices and my wireless laptop can see the hard-drive that is connected to the router, but when I try to view any folders or files they are MIA. For example, when I try to view the hard drive from my PS3 or Xbox360, they both see the router but when I go to view any of my .avi files they are not displayed on the hard drive. To makes matters more confusing, the files were watchable and found when I first connected and setup the external hard drive to the router. But all of sudden, neither gaming console can see or find any of the .avi files. Any suggestions?
As for the gaming console issues I wish I could help but I am not a gamer.
