I have a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G v. 5 w/ latest firmware) connected to a cable modem (Terayon). The internet connection is shared between a wireless desktop and a wireless laptop (both running Windows XP). Recently my internet went out (because cable sucks).
I tried power cycling the modem and router, which didn't fix it, so I bypassed the router and connected the desktop straight to the modem. The internet worked, so I turned off the desktop and modem, turned on the modem, connected it to the router, turned on the router, and connected it to the computer. I turned on the computer and there was no internet access.
I had to use the reset button on the back of the router, and then finally the internet worked after power cycling everything one more time. After I did this, our internet got really slow (it was slow before but now it's just terrible).
Some sites, like www.facebook.com, won't load at all, and overall, the browsing speed it about half what it was before. I know it's not my computer because I've tried going to facebook with both computers and with two different browsers. If I get on a neighbor's wireless network, I can visit facebook and it works fine; my browsing speed is also normal on the other network. Is there any way that this has to do with my router, and if so, how do I fix it?
Thanks.
