Afternoon all,

I have a 20meg connection with UPC.
In the last two weeks my download speed has dropped dramatically.
Some web pages failed to load at all. Some load without images.
This was happening on both wired and wireless connections to the router.
I bypassed the router and connected directly to the modem and the speed is fine.
This was on an SMC2804 router.

Think that my router (quite old now) was failing I bought a new Belkin PlayN600 wireless router.

This has not helped at all.

I have attached my speedtest results from both scenarios.(both wired)

I have spoken to UPC and they asked me to change the wifi channel to either 1,6 or 11.
This has not helped.

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Wavey
