Please log in for more thread options months it has been slow as hell - a dialup connection would be faster. The weird thing is when I use my laptop with my wireless router it is not so slow - no bad at all. I called Time Warner & spent time on tech support & after numerous tests they said everything shows fine. I installed new virus software & cleaned up the PC & still no better. Anyone have any ideas? Should I just replace the PC? It is a Pentium 4 maybe 2 years old. | ||||||||||||||||

Have you tried connecting PC direct to modem bypassing the router ? Have you surfed a broadband troubleshooting site ? | ||||||||||||||||
