    But you can access some sites .. correct? If so it is definetely a router problem (although orther computers work fine). It look like there's a filter on router something like "laptop with MAC address has lees bandwith" or "has no access to site". I know .... very unlikely if they did install it recently and you didn't change settings on router ...did you?

    I can access some sites like Google or Facebook but not always, most of the times they won't even load.

    I haven't changed anything on the router except for the wifi channel, it was set to "Auto" by default and I changed it to other numbers but I didn't worked so it changed it back to "Auto".

    It's working now! It was a lot easier than I thought, all I had to do is access the router settings and changing the wireless mode from "up to 150 mbps" to "g & b". Somehow I thought I have done it in the first place but apparently I didn't

    Thanks a lot Kaktussoft and I am sorry to have bothered you!
