    Hiya all, it seems that I just can't get my new GT70 to connect to my FIOS without issues... it was working fine for about a month but all of a sudden it chooses to connect when it wants. I updated all of my drivers as mentioned on the MSI site, though sadly this hasn't had any impact. Any advice for this annoying problem would be much appreciated. It seems going with the Killergaming net card was a huge mistake, as I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

    what do you mean? you have disconnects?

    I am using the killer 1103 i think and i had disconnects like 5x an hour and i tried fixing everything e.g. reinstalling drivers and even reformatting my laptop. Turns out the problem was with the router(because I googled the model of my router and a lot of people have the same problems/issue with it.) I havent tried playing using a different router but i think its not the wireless car but its the router itself.

    By disconnects I mean - I can connect to my router though I can't receive any data. I don't see why this would work for a month with no issues and then all of a sudden it just stops working. I didn't update my drivers or do any OS adjustments since then... it just flat out stopped communicating with my router. Also by router I mean my modem... seeing as FIOS uses a all in one modem. The problem with that is that hooking up a secondary router and bridging connections is extremely difficult with the stupid Actiontek modem they use. People apparently have a nightmare doing this, and sometimes it just doesn't even work. It's a damn shame, I have this beast of a system and due to all the problems with these Killer gaming cards it's stopping me from being able to kick some butt in Guild Wars 2 on my couch ~_~

    Your problem is most prabably with the FiOS equiptment,namely the Actiontek Router/Modem

    What is the NAT Table problem in the Actiontec
    2.2 Troubleshooting Verizon Online FiOS FAQ | DSLReports.com, ISP Information

    There are several solutions to the problem:

    If you are in one of the following states: CA, TX, or FL, you can try requesting the Westell 9000EM router. It solved the NAT table issue.

    If you are in the former Bell Atlantic operating area, the Rev. E (or later) Actiontec may solve your NAT problem.

    Run your own router. See this FAQ for a list of different ways you can run your own router:
