Ok, Hey guys and Girls.
My uncles internet is playing up a bit. He has a cable connection from Virgin, with a cable modem. A couple of weeks ago, he wanted to upgrade to wireless so he now has a wireless router which I fitted. SO his connection is now ran through both the cable modem and the router.
Now the problem is that the internet speeds are terrible, after max 10 minutes of turning the computers on, the internet speeds drop and an internet page can barley be opened. He has two computers, one on XP (Ethernet) and one on Vista (wireless) and both are experiencing the same problem, to fix this I need to leave the modem unplugged for 30 seconds, and then the internet is fine for max another 10 minutes. Ive tried going back to the original setup with just the modem but the issue still lives on. Ive called up virgin and they said there is no problem on their end. I am now stuck for ideas.
Thanks for the help.
