I'm at the end of my rope here and hope somebody can help. I recently purchased a Medialink router from Amazon. After installing it between my cable modem and PC, my PC became noticably slower when loading web pages. Where it used to be almost instant, it was now taking at least 5 seconds and sometimes as many as 15 on all pages.
After calling technical support and them not finding a solution, they thought I had a bad router and sent a replacement. As you've already guessed, I had the exact same problems with that one as well.
I then went to the store and purchased a Netgear N450 router. Yep, same exact problems. My wireless network is great with all three routers, but my wired connection to my PC takes a huge hit.
To make this even stranger, at least to me, when I run speed and ping tests, I get almost identical results with or without the wireless router connected.
Does anybody have any ideas what would be causing this since it's obviously not my router?
