Lately I have needed to power cycle my router 2 times a day or my speed drops to about 300k. After cycling the router the speed goes back up to 1500.
Is this something that I just have to live with? or is their something I can change in my system?
Also any help on tweeking more speed out of my connection would be greatly appreciated
OS: win XP
Verizon dsl
