slow ADSL connection when I route through router

[Risca]

I have a GNet 4 port router IP0006, its been working fine, its not fancy or anything but works as a nat router and has been doing a good job until a few days ago.

I'm on ADSL now and web pages load extremely slow, so slow that they even time out some times. However if I switch to direct ADSL it is as fast as I could hope for.

WHY?

I tried the router with just ONE computer, the same one that is fast direct connected.

I'm running Windows XP service pack 3.

I set up a broadband connection definition on my PC for direct connections and had a LAN / Highspeed connection when using the router. I only need the high-speed connection when using the router, which we expect.

When I connect via direct I log in with the broadband link but the PC still uses the highspeed link but complains about not being 100% access yet it works great.

I live in Manitoba, Canada and using MTS to access the internet.
Pings randomally have dropped packages :(

Ideas? Thought? Suggestions?

Did you set up the router correctly for ADSL PPPoE?

Post your TCP Analyzer report.

What speed package are you paying for?

q1) Didi I set up the router correctly for PPPoE.

Well I sellected PPPoE and put in the userid and password and can connect to the internet using the router. And since that about the only thing you can set, I believe I did that correctly.



q2) Post your tcp/ip analyzer report.

Q3: speed package.
I'm not sure, but I'm not concerned with speed but with my web pages timing out while trying to load.


Had some new issues today!
Tried a new router dlink dir-655 thing is this computer can't get that router to even server up a dhcp address. All I get is authentication failed to the router and eith a 0.0.0.0 address or eventually a 169.254.166.120 address and no way to even ping the 192.168.0.1 router I installed. Yet two other hard wired computers are running just fine through the same router.

More confused then ever.

Try the setup tips in the Wireless Networking section of our forum.

Just to be clear, none of my computer are wireless.
I went back to my old router, and everything is great again.
I don't know why, but I'm happy and I'll be returning the new router, will miss the gigabit connections but man the dir-655 runs HOT!
