here’s my situation, i have an older computer that ive had on a TRENDnet wireless router for over a year. Recently my desktop and laptop have been running ridulously slow, to the point where pages won’t load and even trying to open an application that’s on the desktop takes minutes when it should only take a few seconds.
The strange thing is that when i disconnect the wireless router and hook up my desktop only w/ the broadband router, it works like normal. If i try plugging the router back in, both the desktop and laptop slow way way down again.
So you’re probably saying, “The router is shot”, but this occured to me as well and i just finished installing a brand new D-Link router. I finished up and both the desktop and laptop were working fine for about 10 minutes when the warning displayed that the internet connection from the braodband router to the wireless router is no longer connected. If I unhook the NEW wireless router and go back to only using the broadband router, everything works.
I don’t get it. I’ve had a wireless router on this computer for a year now and suddenly i can’t use a wireless router on it? It doesn’t make sense. Is there some kind of virus or whatever that would make stuff like this occur? What can i do?
