Hi, Me again. Ok, I'm still networked on the "Netgear MR814V.2 Wireless/Cable/DSL/4-port Router". One computer upstairs and two are downstairs. One is connected to one port in the router and the others our Wireless. Wireless Adpaters are "D-Link 's DWL-G510". I'm having problems on "Myspace" and that's including any... profile and I'm also having connection drops on other websites as well.

I've resetted the ADSL Modem and the Router. I put in the CD and started it up and re-put everything in. The log-in, Account Info. and what not. The connection is still slow. What could be causing this Issues? I don't feel like calling our ISP :(

I have been having the same problem. MSN has been having problems with their site for 2 weeks now. In my case it isn't my network so it might not be yours either. Hope this helps. :)

Have you clocked your connection speed against a test site?

Any difference in performance if you use the one wired computer versus one wireless versus all three at the same time?

One thing that can dramatically increase performance is turning off encryption. Then you can limit the router to certain MAC addresses to prevent anyone from connecting.
