I am running AOL DSL, and usually it's fine, but last week for whatever
reason, my connection got slower and slower. What used to be a 100kb/s
download speed is now closer to 10kb/s. I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless
router, with one computer hardwired and the other is a desktop with a
wireless card.
Windows XP Home SP1 - wired
Windows 98 - wireless
I thought maybe it was the router, so I plugged my computer directly into
the modem, and same thing, just as slow. I tried different Ethernet cards as
well, same thing. When I put the router back into the network, and tried the
wireless desktop, it was fast at first, then gradually worked it's way down
to be as slow as the other computer.
So now I have no idea if it's one computer, both, the modem, or the router.
I have noticed, under the 'network connections' section, a new connection for
'internet gateway' that I never saw before. Is there a way to turn that off
or undo the home network? Maybe that's what I did, set up the home/small
office network, but it could be anything.
Thank you.
