, my internet on my PC suddenly became fairly slow (gaming would be a nightmare)-eg. Youtube vids used to load fast, and now they usually must be left for a minimum of 5 mins (for a shorter, non-HQ vid) before playable-which I can't see being caused by anything-seeing as I don't recall doing anything around the time it started. Another thing, is that the signal strength has remained roughly the same.
Some things you can try here, listed in the order you should try them.
Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.
- For wireless connections, remove all the stored wireless profiles and search for networks. You'll have to enter the encryption key again, which is sometimes the issue for connection problems.
- For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
- For wireless connections, try moving either the wireless router/AP or the wireless computer. Even a couple of feet will sometimes make a big difference.
- Update the network drivers (wired and wireless) on your computer to the latest available.
- Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
- Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.
