My wireless router is very low all of a sudden.
I have a d-link wireless n xtreme gigabit router, that I have been using for a few years now. Although, my d-link wireless n xtreme adapter has proven to be incompatible with windows 7, I have never had a problem with the router before. I ended up moving my wireless router near my desktop and using a wired connection instead. Recently my dsl modem went out, it was a 2 year old 2wire with no wireless router built in. It wasn't the fastest thing I have used, but it worked. Now I am using an old speedstream 5100 series dsl modem. It works fine when plugged directly into my desktop, but when I plug it into my router and then into my desktop I cannot even pull up the google home page. However, I have noticed that my utorrent downloads are moving quickly with this configuration. Even when I turn utorrent off though, I cannot pull up any pages. When I plug the modem directly into my desktop however, I can use the internet, and my downloads are moving at dial up speeds. I would prefer this, but require the wireless router to be in use, because we have 2 laptops in the house. I have not had a chance to try the wireless connection speeds though. I'm just not sure why this would happen. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advanced! -Kevin
