Slow Internet after power surge

[Combat_Arts]

Hi. My internet speeds (not my computer, my whole network) have gone really bad after a power outage (the one where the fuse flicks off and I have to restart it) and I was wondering why because it is getting REALLY irritating because I built a computer and I cant even do anything on it - Cant watch utube, play games, ect. so yeah. Thanks in advance.

Ok try this unplug your modem router if you have it let it sit for about a min pc off plug it all back in then try it again... if your still having this problem and using a pwer surge strip replace it .

I know how to install an ethernet cable and an ethernet driver so yeah, the internet is set up. It is laggy on all 5 ipads and four computers on my network (not all mine). It used to not be so slow after the power problem so yea.

 

[johnnyb105]

ok but did you get the modem from your provider or buy one just outright?

 

[johnnyb105]

it dont matter what you know but if its a new modem that not there equipment you need to call them to set it up so it works properly

You know theres a set of numbers on your modem that needs to be registered with your provider internet service before your modem works right I been there done that with mediacom just because you may have hook up everything correct does not mean it will work right but you know this already otherwise you wouldnt be here asking for help such as is my cable line into my home fried because of a surge did my spiters get fried in the process of the surge ect ect thats what happens 99 percent of the time with your internet after changing modem surges ect no one sets them up correct then they are in the help forums but google is your friend my friend so do some research it may be of some help before you dismiss someone truely trying to help you by saying you cant help me because when you state that you given up on yourself and others. you pay a bill with a provider start there and work your way to the help forums so on so forth.
