Internet Speed Comparison

[mozerd]

Had a problem with my SMC7004ABR broadband gateway and the Motorola SB5100 cable modem. Any site PHP driven [like this forum] was failing to load properly if at all. This was very strange [and very annoying] as other sites [not PHP based] that I frequent had zero problems.

So I switched to a spare gateway device I had laying around made by D-Link [model DI-704P] and that combination worked without any difficulty whatsoever.

I wrote SMC to find out if a firmware upgrade was in order .. waiting for there feedback.

Anyway this is just a heads up to people here who may wonder why certain sites may not work with certain hardware combinations. In the IT world -- that is why TESTING testing TESTING is the only way prior to wide-scale deployment.
