I use BT broadband through vodafone at home and for the past 2 years I have had a rock solid and reliable 6mb connection. I use a netgear dg834pn wireless router and this has proved very reliable too.
However, in the last month the connection speed has been awful, often at less than dial up speeds, if I reboot the router or power cycle it, the speed jumps back to 6mbs for somewhere between 2mins and 30mins and then degrades again down to as low as 40kbs!
have changed all leads and connected via ethernet cable and nothing changes, i have monitored the router to see if anyone else is stealing my bandwidth but only my 2 pcs appear on the list.
Contacting vodafone has been impossible, have tried on 3 occasions now and after about 30-60min wait I have either given up or been cut off.
Anybody any ideas?
