Keep your eye on the news
If I don't resolve this router issue, I'm going to stomp in into the ground and start a huge fire with it.
While my laptop is connected, the connection will change to "limited access" every few minutes. I'm at the end of my rope! |

Is there a large metal object (file cabinet, safe, water heater, natural gas-powered dildo, etc.) between the router and your wireless device?

Less than a month old from Comcast. All other devices work just fine. Laptop is windows 8.1
What is DDWRT? Damn thing has done it three times in the last 10 minutes. I have to disconnect and reconnect to do anything. |

Now, Mr. Bart, if you would kindly unplug your router. Tell me, what color lights do you see on the modem now? None? That is most excellent. Now, I would humbly request that you leave the router unplugged for one minute, then plug it back in again......... |

But since it's the comcrap modem you might be limited with your options...I bought my own cable modem and use my own router...not to mention it saves a few bucks every month with comcast. I even have X1 using my own modem, even though they claimed it wouldn't work. |

I'm very sorry, Mr. Bart, the VB help desk was not aware that you were a Comcast customer. It would be very pleasing if you would kindly disregard the aforementioned help. Now...........Please hold, the next customer service agent will be with you shortly. The current wait time is 871 hours. Please continue to hold.

Alright, I've been online for 20 minutes with no issues. This is why I plan to burn this modem.
Since this is the modem/router all in one thingy (yeah, I'm that technical with computers) my next step is to use my own router to see WTF is going on. The gas can and matches are ready, just in case. |

Bart flew to India to confront "tech support" in person.
