Solved Comcast and Destiny Zoo problems!
Finally fixed my daughter's destiny zoo problem (caterpillars, baboons, etc) and comcast with technicolor modems.
Solution was to set up a separate router using tomato or dd-wrt and a vpn account with IPVanish.
I am visiting my daughter right now here in San Jose, CA. I saw first hand how often she would get kicked out of destiny. She was getting booted out every time she tried to join a public event, or even randomly in the middle of a strike. This was happening every 15 minutes.
What I did was to get an Asus RT-66U router, install tomato shibby on it, put it right in front of the xbox 360, and set up a vpn link (openvpn) to IPVanish's servers in Seattle. We've been playing all day today and destiny has been rock solid.
Also, I had brought down another xbox 360, I also set that one up for myself to play on. For this one, I used an Asus RT-N16 router flashed with DD-WRT, also set up to vpn into IPVanish's servers (this time I tried their San Jose servers).
Both of us were able to play all day on destiny without being kicked off even once!
Total cost : around $100 - $150 per router,
$6 per month for the ipvanish account.
Being able to play Destiny uninterrupted: priceless sigh of relief!

I just posted this on Bungie +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I realize this may not fix everyone's problem but it did mine: Xbox 360 Like many I was plagued with drops. My ISP is Comcast. I had a Comcast issued Technicolor TC8305C cable modem/WiFi router (not using the phone modem feature) using a wired connection. After trying every possible setup I started looking hard at how this cable modem behaves and what problems were posted about it on the internets. So I had a little extra cash to burn and wanted to upgrade my WiFi anyway, so I went big and replaced the TC8305C with a Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem and a Netgear AC1900AC Nighthawk WiFi router. [b]Problem Solved![/b] I just finished a 3hr session - ran VOG with 5 others and not a single hiccup. That's a first. Check your ISP. They should have a list of approved cable modems (truthfully any should work, but save yourself some headache) The SB6141 is solid. If you need a WiFi router you don't have to all out, just get what you need.
