My friend has been having issues with his connection over the last few days. All of the PCs in the house are wireless and experience the same issue - extremely slow speed.
Websites like speedtest show a good connection (<10ms ping, 60Mbps down/30Mbps up) on all devices, and Windows acts like there is a connection, but all devices other than his fail to load websites most of the time, and his ping spikes to 500+ for less than 2-3 seconds at a time when playing games.
He recently got a new router from Optimum - his ISP - and it was free, and I suspect it's a cheap router at the root of the problem. The router is a DIR-868L. As for number of connected devices, there are 6 of them - 3 PCs, 2 iPods and 1 iPhone.
Anyone know what's wrong?
