SLOW SLOW Connection....Advice/Help??

The past month our DSL connection has been off and on fast and slow. There are many moments when pages time out which are annoying. There are times when it takes minutes for a page to load. I use a linksys WRT54GC compact router and I have a desktop (wired) and 2 laptops (wireless) in my home. I do find that when I connect my modem directly to my desktop it seems alot faster. Is it possible that my router could be causing this issue?

Re: SLOW SLOW Connection....Advice/Help??

Anything's possible. Have you tried upgrading the router to the latest firmware? How about doing a factory reset and reconfiguring the router?

What is the make/model of the modem you use?

I just noticed you have two threads going on the same issue. Please keep it to one thread.
