Sidenote, whats the difference between client bridge and repeater bridge? I have my router set up as client bridge, I've looked it up but I can't really find a laymen explanation.
I'm using the router for a pc and nothing else.
Not sure why you're even in bridge mode at all. What kind of router do you have?
sorry year 3 I meant the real cost which is 135 or something like that. I doubt anyone pays it. ppl will just complain
one of those cisco linksys routers, i put dd-wrt on it
Without a contract, you're a fool if you don't switch providers every 6 months.
I've literally saved thousands of dollars between 2008 and today by switching between Telus and Shaw twice a year. Call them up and say you're shopping around, and they're authorized to shave money on plans for you for 3-6 month periods.
Hell, for a couple years running I had free HD channels and a PVR during the hockey season.
Well, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no reason to put it in bridged mode unless you are connecting multiple routers. It should be set up as an AP (Access Point).

shaw is pretty bad now at giving deals I've read the last year or so. telus has been very easy to negociate with.
I am connecting multiple routers. My modem is my main router.
Personally I don't use modem's for the main router. ISP provided modems usually suck, so I connect my router to that and connect my devices to my router and connect a wireless bridge to my router in order to connect Ethernet devices in LR and BR. Currently have no need for bridges per se, other than to get Etheret on other rooms, DVR's, my older receiver etc....
Shaws modems are great. They provide a powerful steady signal, even my phone gets full speed (on 2.4g too) in the basement. I honestly dont think theres a better router on the market than what they have.
Its almost definitely an issue with the other router. Im essentially doing what you're doing, just with one modem/router combo and a router. From what I understand you're using 2 routers and a modem?
As mentioned, I got full speed before, which is why its bothering me so much.
Yeah, I just upgraded to Shaw 150 on a promo that gives it to me $20 cheaper than I was already paying for Shaw 100.
No difference as far as gaming as far as I can tell, but those sweet torrents are coming in HOT.
Man my internet went down 2 days ago and I had to set up my router again, I was getting full speed 55 Mbps before but when i reset it I'm getting this
Not even close to full speed
It doesn't even affect anything but its just one of those things that annoys you
Why do you guys have amazing download but decent upload haha (don't take that haha the wrong way)
Cable doesn't tend to allocate enough channels for up as they do down. Symmetric is usually fiber only.
