This is a strange one. I am using DSL as an internet broadband source. The DSL works fine. I’ve confirmed this by using it on a MacIntosh.
My Dell 4600 PC is the source of my problem. In the AM everything works fine. Speed is good and access to websites are normal.
Late in the PM and all evening, the bottom drops out and the internet access is worse than a dialup. Sometimes it will not access and I get a “time out” or “page can’t be displayed”. Try it a couple more times and it will slowly access the site. At this time the MacIntosh on the network continues to blaze along. I’ve done everything I can think of. Remove Adware, Spybot, Up to date virus protection etc…..
I’ve reset the Linsys to factory defaults and reconfigured it a couple of time without success.
What am I missing?? Yes, more internet traffic at the problem hours……but the Mac continues to work fine.
Any suggestions or thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks….Arnie
