For 5 years I was running a WRT54G with 2 desktops wired, one laptop and printer wireless with SBC DSL. Three weeks ago, SBC had an issue, but I thought it was me. So in trying to reset the system, I bricked my router. . . Long story short, I've been through 3 brand new Linksys routers and all have the same problem now.
I set up the PPPoE correctly. On the Status tab of the router it will show it being connected. When I try to ping - say
www.google.com - sometimes it's 100%, sometimes it's 50% packet loss. Same if I ping the IP address.
When I click on the local area connection, it shows many packets sent, very few recieved. I spent four days talking to SBC and Linksys. I'm at a total loss.
Right now I'm on the same network but without the router. (I bought a cheap hub just so the two desktops have access.) The DSL connection without the router is just fine. Here is what ipconfig/all shows WITH the router......

So... It's not a DNS issue. I am connected at full speed when I connect direct to the DSL modem. What in the world did I do wrong? Please help... SBC and Linksys couldn't....
