Hey guys, I am getting really slow speeds on my WiFi connection and I'm not sure what the problem is.
Over the past couple days, my internet speed has dropped from about 14 Mbps to 2 Mbps as measured in the Ookla speedtest. Netflix/HBO Go streaming has been having problems as a result.
Last night I had my neighbor reset the router (we are sharing a connection, he is one floor directly beneath me) and it seemed to temporarily fix the problem and speeds were back to 14 Mbps. Today, the slow speeds are back and I don't feel like knocking on his door every day to reset the stupid thing.
He says his hard-wired LAN connection is fine. I used the "LAN Speed Test" between my desktop and laptop, and it confirmed that I could only transfer a file at ~2 Mbps (288 KBps). That is dreadfully slow, even for a wireless connection.
Anybody have any ideas? Need some extra information to tell?
It is a Linksys WRT160NL with firmware version 1.00.01 B17.
