I've been having an issue with upload lag over the past week. I called Cox (net provider) and they indicated the problem is on my end.. and apparently it was. I tried resetting the cable modem and wireless router, which didn't work.. but when I bypassed the wireless router entirely, hooking the laptop up with ethernet, my speeds - upload AND download - jumped significantly.
So I guess what I'm trying to find out now is whether I can fix the router, or if I need to get a new one... I can't really keep the laptop on a cord, and I shouldn't need to since this has only been happening for a week or so.
So for the technical info... no one has been leeching off my connection, I know that could be a problem and I've checked.
As an example.. before bypassing the router I checked my connection properties. I had 5MB bytes sent and 40MB bytes received over a few days time (since the reset). I know DL is higher than UL, but I'd think that's a bit ridiculous. Even now after a couple of hours my sent is at 6MB and received 26MB...
I'm running a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4ghz router, motorolla cable modem. The laptop is a Compaq Presario.. not sure what other info is needed, so I'll let it go at that and respond with whatever is necessary.
Thanks in advance
