Hey all... I have a serious problem and have tried every flipping thing I know how. I have my home network set up like this: I have the coaxial (or something that resembles a coaxial
) cable coming out of my wall, then into my main router. I run a standard high speed network cable from that into my second wireless router since 3 of the 4 house hold computers are laptops. This setup has always worked great for me and i usually have about 15-20 ms of latency.
Well we got home from being gone for a while and everything was running SUPER slow. I used the good old ping utility to ping google and found I was getting about 3000 ms of latency... if I run a cable directly from my first router into one of my computers I get real good speeds, so I have the problem isolated to the second (wireless) router. If I unplug the router for a few seconds and plug er back in I get good speeds (15-20ms)for about 10 seconds but then it goes back into the 2k-3k range. Trust me when i say ive tried everything I can think of to fix this.
At first I thought it was the computer (malware/virus/updates downloading/etc...) but its that way with all 4 computers. for a while I thought it was just my ISP but then of course remembered that if I bypassed my wireless router it worked fine. I finally completely reset the router to factory defaults (reset button for 10 seconds) and it still has the exact same problem...
anyone have ANY help at all please let me know! Im at my wits end
