Internet gets real slow after awhile.

Dannyguerrero · 08-27-2009, 04:12 AM

After awhile, my internet gets real slow to the point of barely even working at all. But I reset the power on the router, and the speed gets normal again, yet slowly getting slower.

I have a linksys WRT54GS v6, with firmware DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) micro. I'm wired.

This problem might or not be cause by the router, but anyone have an idea what might cause this?

You may want to start by upgrading to a more recent release.

There are a lot of other things that can cause slow-downs including low memory, running out of disk space, and malware. Since resetting the modem restores your speed, I would start with that.
