OK so a couple of months ago I posted about having issues with signal strength, internet speed and download speed being slow. After a bunch of trouble shooting I ended up buying a new (refurbished) router. I now own a Linxsys E2000. Right out of the box it ran great! My speedtest results were in the low 20's for download speed. The internet was also lightning fast.
I went away for vacation and just got back last night. Now I am back to the same issues I was having with the old router. My latest speedtest:
Ping: .95 mb/s Download: 0.94 mb/s Upload: 0.24 ms
Last time I installed MSE and ran all the scans. I am current and have no spyware or adware issues. I changed the channel of my router a couple of times and that really didn't help. Last time I was having signal strength issues and they are appearing again. I have Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector and usually my neighbors signals are stronger than mine. I know it's not just my laptop because i used another laptop and the internet is slow on there too.
any ideas on what can be happening? Why was it working so great at the beginning and now its not? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am running windows Vista Home Premium.
I wanted to note that I ran a speedtest on my PC that is connected to the router through ethernet cable. The results of that test:
Ping: 57 Download: 21 Upload: 4.......Much better when it's hardwired.
