just uplug it from power and plug it back in...that will reset the router.

No, that's a reboot. A Factory Reset, is completely different, and can only be done by either pressing the reset button for more than 10 seconds, or in some cases flashing the firmware.

OK, I hard reset it. Is there anything else to do?

Do you still have the issue?

Well, I done a speed test and I get around the same results, but I'll have to wait till everyone tries it to see if the issue has resolved.

Alright. We will be looking forward to your results....

I thought it may be the router because you are having more than one computer doing it.. since you are plugged in directly... It might be a wireless setting.... you know process by elimination.

Actually, what would be really helpful, if the problem hasn't gone away, is to know how many wireless clients are trying to connect at the same time, and how fast your internet is.

Also, is there any pattern to the sort of traffic that is happening when the problems start, IE, is anyone doing heavy downloading etc.?

Just a theory, but I think I may know what's going on here.

If it helps, I have a bandwidth of 300+MB/s, a download speed of 20 MB/s and upload of roughly 1MB/s (This is a result of packets from speedtest.net and sending from Manchester, UK)

OK, Everyone has tried the internet...and it seems to have gotten a little bit better. Think there might be anything else I can tweak?
*Edit* Apparently it hasn't got any better

Sorry for triple posting, but people in my household are still suffering the problem. It's gotten a little better, though.
Halp?

As acurasd said, we need to do this by process of elimination,

Its a PITA, but it's the most effective solution.

Next, I would try (where possible) connection as many machines as possible wired, obviously this isn't a long term solution, but if we can eliminate whether it only happens wirelessly, then we are a step closer to solving the problem.
