Slow Internet

~~Jaymie1989~~ · 06-12-2007, 08:22 PM

Hi,

When my router is on and connected for about 4 horus it gets incredably slow. On my Windows Vista computer it does not work at all after a while.

I have 2 computers and 1 laptop. Were not always downloading but its always that same.

Any Ideas on what i can do?

Thanks

Jay.

If you're running P2P applications, this is a known issue with many routers. They open lots of connections and saturate the limited memory for connection tables in the router.

I am not running any p2p applications.

This is wierd, but I'll give you some suggestions. This is basically just general maintenance as I have no clue what could be wrong here >_<.

1. Update Firmware on Router
2. Add security to your network, you may not be using P2P software, but someone leaching off your network may be.
3. It could be malware.

Hey Color (I aint saying all your name, although it would have by now)

The router is updated automatically from the maker (BT) I cannot choose when it is.

I have setup a wep key, so no one can be leaching off it.
There is no traces of malware on any computers.
