Started having trouble with my Road Runner, called them and it turns out that I could only connect with my computer connected directly to the cable modem, thought it was the router but I tried another and it does the same thing, can't connect to the DNS server.

Anyone else having any trouble?

I got roadrunner and have a router with 1 pc 1 Xbox and 1 PS3 going as I type this. So they told you that you could not used a router?

No they didn't tell me that, it just won't work with the router, I have to connect it directly.

I have roadrunner but you could never tell. As slow as this shit runs. And I have a router connected as well. I was told that anything running off my router will never be as fast as my pc directly connected to roadrunner. The sucky thing is that I am on my laptop most of the time. What can I do about this?

I've had trouble like that in the past.

Try calling the router company. I have D-link and they were very helpful. I've also had to call LinkSys in the past and they were more helpful than Road Runner as well. It's a bit of a hassle calling them instead of Roadrunner (whose number you probably ave memorized by now...2440-0500 right?) but it's well worth it.
