I had the Line/Phone connections switched once - DSL worked, but only at 1/4 speed.

Then plug in the router, and use a direct connection and test again. Then go wireless and test again, this should give you real numbers instead of slow or fast, making troubleshooting much easier. The other day I was having similar problems and with out boring you with the details it turned out to be a broken wire to the DSL Modem. Who would have thought that DSL would work at all with only one wire connected? It did at times but never over about 1/3 normal speed.

Of course, performance might not be related to the router at all, but the slowdown came about the same time. I'm rebooting several times a day right now. My main problem right this minute is I'm trying to use IE to upload a resume and it just will not go -- churns and churns... forget the other system -- get a page error and can't even attempt. Could be many things -- the server I'm trying to upload is busy, down... could be IE on my end. Even though the router has a firewall, my Windows firewalls are still enabled. I haven't changed any settings on IE, but that doesn't mean anything... could be malware, so I guess I'll spend the day running scans for that... I truly am really tired of this -- about 3 or 4 times a year, everything goes nuts... I'm ready to buy a Mac.
