I just lost my wifi router and ADSL modem to a lightning strike.
I've had to replace them both; as a replacement, I just brought a Belkin Surf Wireless Router and acquired a used but working ADSL modem.
The modem works great when I connect directly to it.
The Belkin seems to be working properly; the signal strength and coverage seems great. Except that all connections through it - wifi or wired - are extremely excruciatingly painfully dog slow. Really really slow. To the point of being completely utterly unusable.
After googling around I see this is a fairly common problem, but I cannot find a single solid bit of advice on how to fix it.
There's talk about using google's DNS servers; this doesn't begin to help. There's talk about swapping the cable - that seemed promising - but that didn't help me either. There's talk about smaller MTUs and disabling firewalls and other random guesses. Nothing has helped me.
I can't get it to work nicely with either linux or vista.
Any ideas?
