Tracing route to smartbro.ph [72.51.36.133]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1     1 ms     *       <1 ms  192.168.1.1
  2     9 ms     *       14 ms  192.168.224.1
  3    23 ms     *       16 ms  125.60.xxx.x

   and so on...

this is not normal as what the senior member told me. he said that i have to set my router into bridge mode. i dont know what he's saying. so pls help me. when i done it correctly the result must be like this:

1 <1 ms <1ms <1ms 192.168.224.1
2 28 ms 28ms 28ms 125.60.xxx.xxx
3 29 ms 29ms 29ms 121.1.3.34

i dont know how to do that, even what is that address is all about. all i know is 192.168.224.1 is the address of our ISP. the 192.168.1.1 is the address of our linksys router(i believe).
can anyone tell me what is the problem in the settings of my router? what shall i do? i need your help. anyone.. i started to be bothered when i ask to someone if my ping is normal bcoz everytime i went to [this.site.has.been.blocked.for.spamming] i always got high ping or ms from 800+ upto 999, i ask him if that is normal. then he told me that:

"You have two routers connected back to back at hop 1 and 2. IP addresses with the format 192.168.xx.xx are those of a router. This means your modem already has a router in it."

that is his reply..now i dont know what im gonna do. im not familiar about networking, im into programming only..PLS HELP..
