Ill start from the start of me getting internet access I have 3 MB on my contract.
My ISP gave me a router which was simple and worked OK for a while. I had 3 MB. Because I wanted some extra features and longer wireless access, I got a DD-WRT router and another router/modem and used that to connect to the internet. Everything was going great/fine but it would seem that every now and then, I would lose internet access (fault of the router/modem because its link would go off). I called my ISP up to ask them about this but they dont give tech support to non ISP equipment. So I tried to get the original router my ISP gave me and just bridge it. My original router did not work (did not turn on) so I contacted my ISP again and asked them for a new router since mine broke. Several days later, my new router arrived (different model and manu) and I had trouble even connecting to it: (see: http://www.neowin.ne...11-on-a-router/ ) . I called up my ISP and it seemed that we entered Safe Mode, then it could be accessed. From that point on, it could also be accessed in normal mode (strange). Anyways, the original thread as stated commented that browsing speeds were amazing yet my download speed is just 1.5 MB. My speed has NEVER dropped so much.
Right now my config is the new router/modem they sent me bridged to the DD-WRT router which gives me 1.5 MB.
So now what should I do?
I changed from a router/modem that I personally bought to one given to me by my ISP and my browsing speed is now alot faster. Strangely, I only get 1.5 MB while I was hitting 2 MB-2.5 MB on downloads with the other one but Im guessing that a turning off/on the router/modem will fix that.
