Hey guys,
I've noticed this problem I had recently. When I newly got my internet line, wireless router, and wifi, speed was up to 10mbps download and 1mbps upload.
I'm from Sydney btw, so I'm under TPG.
So recently I've noticed my Wifi is getting really slow at times, or my ping just goes crazy. (downloading new apps/updates from itunes seems to be quick cause I can count about a 500kbps-1mbps download)
I even opt to use my 3G connection instead which gives me about 300-500 ping, vs my wifi which gives me like 1k+ ping.
So i've tried plugging in my computer via ethernet cable to the router, and I get that 10mbps/1mbps speed I used to have. (I use speedtest.net for checking btw).
My question is, is it the router thats the problem? Cause the line seems fine if I still get that original speed while cabled up right? I tried to reconfigure the modem and such but still the same.
There are 3-4 of us at a time using the internet, and I'm aware downloads slow them down. But I have tried asking them to stop downloads and such just to test the speed and I get the same result.
What do you guys think? Thanks!
