Hey guys. In the past month I have been experiencing progressively slower and slower internet, and higher and higher pings to certain servers I game on. I went to Best Buy today, and they said it was most likely due to an old router. My router was a 3 year old Airport Extreme. So, I just bought the latest and greatest Airport Extreme and set it up. The people in my house connecting wirelessly are getting improved connection, but there's a problem. I have plugged my desktop PC to my new router via Ethernet, and my connection is the same as it was if not worse.

I don't know why my wired connection is so bad compared to everybody else's wireless connection. What could I do to solve this?

My internet speeds before the decrease were:
< 30 Ping
30 Download
3-5 Upload

Thank you.

Did you reboot the modem? Did the ISP check on this? I have had some extremely slow connections down to 1mb and less which turned out to be a bad modem which the ISP replaced.
