whenever mine is running a little slow, I pushed the pin hole in the back of the router for a few sec to do a factory reset it and then reconnect everything... Sometimes if it is near the tv or a subwoofer the signals get mixed and slow..

Go to run or type cmd for command promp in search.
Type: ipconfig /release
Then: ipconfig /renew
It will reset your network driver.
i had same issue a few days ago but i think mine was jsut for storm tho
look in network connections and make sure the Internet u using is primary and only one checked
try this website Zab
Internet Connection Drops Repeatedly
100 points for solving something which here would cost a minimum ?20 (not including call out fees if engineer were to be called out) lol zab u kill me
if the wireless keeps dropping but the wired shit works fine then u have to to trial and error could be the router however since u did by a new one i doubt it even tho it is possible
as others have said amount of wireless devices does impair the overall speed so getting a shitty router like a netgear one isnt really gunna help matters
IF all your settings/ports/network connections etc are fine then u can either buy a better router or buy yourself a wireless amplifier
failing that buy extra long wires and make ure house look like a tv station
Guess I'll get one of these :

Are you using the router in conjunction with a cable or dsl modem?....... If you are it is possible that the modem and the router have the same IP address preventing you from having access to the router configuration settings. If that is the case you will have to change the IP address of the router.
To find out if they have the same IP address: you will have to run a command prompt (cmd) and enter the ipconfig/all command, once with the router hooked up and once with just the modem without the router hooked up. If you see that the gateway is the same IP address: usually something like 192.168.2.1 then you know you are having this issue.
I want 1k pts for telling you to buy a new router....do you know how they work?
One possible issue. Cabling.
Look at your cables and see if they say UTP or STP on them. If they are UTP you could be having cross talk issues.
If that is the case you want to separate the cables, try to remove tangles, loops, overlaps or just go buy STP cables.
Whenever I try to troubleshoot network issues it is best to logically find the source of the problem. Use multiple devices and keep all variables fixed but one. Eliminate each possibility one at a time.
If you have 2 laptops you take them to the same place in the house and run a speed test on both of them. If one is drastically different then the problem is probably with the laptop. If both are bad then it is probably with the router.
Then if possible move the laptops around the house and keep router in fixed position. Run speed tests.
Then keep laptops in fixed positions and move router around. Even just a foot higher or to the side. Run speed test.
After you move everything everywhere and the results stay the same then I go into the routers firewall and start looking at problems. Are there errors.
You just take things one step at a time.
By the way. Is your Router secured. Is there a password for your devices to access it.
If not the speed problems could be your neighbors enjoying the free Internet you are giving them
Zab my main concern is you saying everything is showing connected even though the devices are powered off. Depending on the internet provider, you may not need to do this yourself. I have fiber optic and my provider covers all inside wire maintenance. The Belkin is a good router, you may benefit with a wireless amplifier, but I would wait until the tech comes out if you have inside wire maintenance so they can have more of a hands on approach and could pinpoint & diagnose your issue much easier. I had the same issue and the tech ended up running everything a lot differently. With as many devices you have, I would assume you have speeds up to 25 megs to run all of the machines you need to. I would first try to get on devices that are not being used like your iPad and any other device that shows connected that you are not using and manually disconnect them from your WiFi. This sounds like a bandwidth issue, hard to diagnose without seeing the setup, that is why I would recommend you call for a tech to come out and fix it. depending on your internet provider, you may get free inside wire maintenance. Let me know if this helps, I have a friend at work that is over our IT dept. if nothing on this thread helps. I would definitely rule out your options before you spend any money out of pocket.
you have tried to use a signal amplifier or anything of the sort? I use to have a similar issue with a Linksys router - it was broadcasting weak signlas and unless I was pretty much right on top of it I experienced the same issues. Layout of your house etc and were you are trying to connect as an access point could also be an issue. I'd also try updating all your drivers etc for the modem/router and your laptop/pc wifi-card or maybe even do a system-restore to a point before this issue started occurring.
I'll solve your issue for 2000 points
Did you put a password to your wireless router? Maybe all your neighbours detect automatically when you connect it and start to use it. Free internet for the whole neighbourhood
That's a common issue. I could configure your wireless router.
wired is ALWAYS faster than WiFI I have both, and switch to wifi only for my tablets. Wifi is for convienence, ethernet broadband is for speed.
Try to set up wirless mode on "g"
I'm sure this issue has been resolved by now and it is time close this thread.
im on a desk top too and i also have a router connected to my modem, my modem supports 120Mb and i bought a router that supports 300Mb to guarantee, but i actually dont need the wifi signal for my desk top once desk top, modem and router are in same room, so i connect my desk top directly do my router through a ethernet cable(i only use the wifi signal for other mobile devices, and never had any problem with them), there are many possibilities here, my main tips would be:
1. use Firefox;
2. check out if your modem and router are compatible;
3. try to connect your router directly to your desk top using an ETHERNET cable, see if that solves the low speed issue(if it solves it, it might be an issue with your wifi capture device on your pc);
4. it might also be an modem/ router configuration issue(in this case u should try and talk to someone who understands bout modems/ routers configurations, sometimes modems' and routers' configurations have to be adjusted to be compatible to each other);
further than this i cannot see what the problem could be, but theres prolly many other reasons issues like that can happen .... sorry for not being able to help more ...... :)
put a piece of Aluminium foil on top of your router antena and it should work fine
