unstable internet connection....

[redbull001]

my internet connection was fine until we switched the routers, then after a month, we switched the routers back again, so the original router that gave me a good connection was back, for some reason, ever since the last (2nd) switch my internet has been unstable....i have to send around 15-20 error reports a day and sometimes i lose connection completely and have to restart the computer, my downloading rate is unstable and a 3 minute song can take around 55 minutes to download, usually i cant even download files with this "new" connection (it normally would take around 45 seconds) playing an online game is impossible because of lag and warp and i can spike at 500 until i restart my computer.........

i have comcast connection and the only thing i can think of is that my ip changed when i switched the routers both times, ive heard of a changing ip slows down your internet connection slighlty, but this is not slightly.....

any ideas on how to possibly stop this will be awesome....

thanks alot and take care

You need to be a lot more specific as to the configuration, and make/model of the equipment involved.

There is no issue in changing an IP address that I'm aware of, and I've done this for a long time.

Did you connect one machine directly to the modem to see if all is well in that configuration? Remember to power cycle the modem whenever you changed the attached device.
