To determine that its not your service provider, try bypassing the router and hook direct to your modem.  If it connection is stable, check your settings.  Is firmware the latest?  Do you have MTU option in the router, you can try adjusting it - lower by increments of 10 (for Cable broadband start at 1500, for DSL start at 1400).\n\nCheck if you have any firewalls enabled.  Routers have a built-in (NAT) firewall that often conflict with other firewalls and security software on your computer - try disabling it.

Hey there's nothing wrong with good old dial-up!  Try looking at this site:\nhttp://help.prodigy.net/help/network/prob/slowconnect.html\n\nI know it's a bit heavy for the normal internet user, but if you can identify the type of modem you've got, it should help to try to modify the initialization string as they suggest.  Always remember to make a note of what's in there first!

Your router needs looking at. Below is a URL for you to check out.\n\nThere is also another to a tech forum where they help with networking issues.

Configure your router to allow or deny certian services.  Some of these programs allow the user to change ports which may create a problem for you.\n\nHowever if your router allows some kind of DMZ mode this configuration should be fairly easy.

My Netgear router kept crashing so I got a D-Link and haven't had any problems since. Get a 802.11G router. YOu can hard wire your desktop and just have the laptop connect wirelessly or get a PCI wireless adapter for the desktop so they can both be wireless. Depends on what you want to do.

Try resetting your router, if your running a network.  The router table in the router could have some of the ip addresses messed up.\n\nI had trouble accessing some websites and a few were very slow loading.

Im assuming you are trying to bring up your router setup. Check your cables if this is the case. A bit more info would help.

If you are, you've been duped.  DSL should be much faster than dial up...and if it isn't...find a new service provider.

The main reason your Internet and slow. Because; the DSL modem can only transfer information but to 51.8 Mbps. Even though it can transfer information at 51.8 Mbps that is not always the case. such as the distance that the information needs to travel and the modem speed; the speed of computer \n\nTwo or Three reasons this could be happening. first go to  \n\nhttp://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/\n\ntoo see how fast your connection speed is\n\nI found out that native drivers sometimes slow you down (cable and DSL users). So if you have applied all tweaks and you are still having slow downs try reinstalling your NICs drivers.\n\nI have reinstalled my NIC drivers (I own a CNET generic NIC, native driver is installed with OS) with the latest found on their website, and now I can really apretiate all my available bandwith. The difference is noticeable. My web pages now load almost instantly where they used to take even a minute!

If this is a dial up modem, there's not a lot you're going to be able to do, as the speed depends on the quality of the wiring from within your house to the outside, from the outside of your house to the phone co., and from the phone co. to your internet provider.  If this is a DSL modem, and you're speed is that slow, I'd suggest checking into cable modem service, or contacting the phone company providing your DSL service to find out why your performance is so bad.

Make sure you have filters on all your phone lines, including any TV boxes that use the phone. This can cause slowness. You can check with the manual and see if you can access the DSL router to see what DL and UP speeds you are at. If you are below what is promised then check with the company. If you are above where you are supposed to be then either live with what you have or call the company, pay more to upgrade. This is all dependant on how your DSL is setup and it may not be the same way I am familiar with. They also have Internet Speed Check's that you can use to check your speed. That will give you an idea if you are at a good speed for DSL. \n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html

Just get a good,reliable and inexpensive isp that doesn't require you to install their software to connect. Connection software along with accelerators will slow you down.

check the link light on the card.\nmake sure that wire is stable and is not cutted from anywhere.\nmake sure that your lan card setting i.e duplex mode and connection speed is configured properly.
