I'm looking at that and thinking that 2344ms and 1608ms are not good things. However my problem is this, my internet is very slow. It is just my PC though, everyone else connected to the router is having no such problem, their connections are lightening quick.

Anyone got any idea why my connection would be slow? I reckon it's the connection to the router itself as if I try and log into the router admin that is just as slow. I can't figure it out

You ain't got windows firewall turned on, have you?

divine` · 1 Nov 2006 at 20:31

Not sure, all the Security Centre will tell me is that ZoneAlarm is on, can't see anything about Windows Firewall.

Edit - Windows Firewall is OFF

This is a random thing though, it'll be fine for a good portion of the day then it'll go so slow its unusable for a few hours then fine again :/

Are you pinging over wireless?

Everything goes through the wireless, not got any CAT5 long enough to wire it.

Are you far from the router?

About 10m direct distance through a floor and a wall or two. Getting 4/5 bars on the Wireless Network Wizard thing with a speed of 54Mbps...

It's started working properly again now. Weird.

I've been having a VERY similar prob in that during the day I get good speed and loading, during the evening (generally) its dog slow (obviously down to greater traffic), but its been a lot worse over the past few weeks and I find I can't even get onto a lot of the sites I want to until later on in the evening.

My problem isn't anything to do with greater evening traffic I don't think as all 7 of my housemates have completely working full speed connections.
