Internet Slowing Down

New dongle... Noted.

Maybe time to mess with turning off dhcp and manually configuring the pc to the router.

Driver issues could be causing it to not negotiate the configuration settings properly.

Perhaps lynksys and netgears aren't getting on well together.

Time for some manual addressing to see if it improves.

Follow those two guides through and see if it behaves.

Thank you for all of your help. It was much appreciated.

With nothing seeming to work, I took the easy way out and drove into town, got a refund, and spent a couple more dollars on a Netgear adapter. Everything is working perfect now. Sorry that your help "went to waste" of sorts. I was just confident that it must've been something other than the adapter itself. It was though, evidently.

Thanks again.

All good

Nothing wasted... Now we know lynksys and netgear don't get on well.

Enjoy
