Pretty sure I'm going with netgear or Dlink. thank-you!

ah....still getting the same problems.

Thank-you Cor, I'll definitely try that. the current firmware V. for me is 1.05.03 I used to have the Linksys BEFW11S4 V.4 and I had the same problems. :x

I've had this problem since September and no one I've contacted has helped me, only offered the same solution...just different steps. When I'm connected on a hardline ethernet cord to my Westell Modem (Verizon DSL ISP)my connection to: Browser, AIM, Online games, etc. are perfect. When I'm behind my Linksys BEFSR41 v3 router (and the one I had before it, but it's trashed) I couldn't connect to AIM for anything longer than maybe 15 seconds. After that 15 second mark, I'd either get the "AOL AIM RECONNECT DIALOGUE: RECONNECTING IN [] MINUTES..." or I would send a message (or check an away message, profile, etc) to a friend...and they wouldn't get it until a few minutes later. Same would happen to me...I'd end up getting like 15 instant messages from the same person in a second flat. QUITE tedious. So: DSL works...Router doesn't. suggestions? thank-you! JJ
