I just got a new computer 160 Gb hard drive an 100 MG of Ram. Dell E510. I also replaced my first generation wireless G router with the same brand (linksys )and model (WRT54G) only brand new. (The other one died without any known reason). SO...I set up my home with the E510 as the host...connected via ethernet to the router with is connected to the D-link cable modem. I set up 1 desktop with a linksys wireless G PCI card installed (had it before) and 2 desktops with linksys wireless G USB connections (had them before). Also added a wireless G music bridge. All is good...left them unsecured until I knew I had everything set up right. Still are unsecure today because.... WHATS the DEAL?? My internet is slower than it ever was before and so is everyone elses. I am talking crawling!! I ran a virus scan and came up with nothing. Any ideas?
