    Well some problems have been occuring in my internet lately. As you probably know, i just reformated, so i have no viruses. But i used to be able to download, surf the web, watch YouTube, and run Speedtest.net a lot faster or better. My speedtest.net download WAS 14,800 kb/s (something around that) but now...

    My upload has stayed the same (between 900 and 1000kb/s) but it seems that only my download has really gone down (14,000 to 3,000 WTF?!?) Ive called Charter (my ISP) and they said that everything on their end if fine. Is there something that i might have changed in my wireless routing settings that would have caused this dramatic loss in speed? I wish it was as easy as pressing a 'restore default settings) but there is no button like that.

    I have the Linksys WRT300N Wireless N-Router, if that helps at all

    Thanks for your help.

    If you just did a fresh install, run cablenut optimizer. Get the aux pack of settins an see if that helps.
