Jdl4ever, try to unplug the power from your cable modem and then plug it back in. Also if you are using a router, even if its plugged directly to the ethernet ports, crappy ones still slow down speeds. D-link routers are very good in general. I have had bad experiences with netgear. I am replacing my old dlink with a linksys now so I will see how it works. I got a great deal on ebay so no harm even if it sucks.
