Title: Phone company put in a new router
Post by: Spikes on July 31, 2009, 02:44:30 PM

And the internet is slower then EVER. Youtube takes 5-10 minutes to load a 2 minute video...Any online game I play, the pings are through the roof. We had to replace it because it was blocking my dad out from his VPN at work. The router brand is BEC...I can't do much because I don't want to screw his connection again but is there anything I can try to make it faster?

Im sure some of the router experts may have some other suggestions...... or even skuzzard he knows routers in an out
