    I bought this Belkin : ADSL2+ Modem with Wireless-G Router recently and have been using without any issue for 2~3 week until I notice something happen recently.

    1. My Internet seems to slow down a lot
    2. Unknown blinking(wireless data transfer) occurs even my PC is off
    3. Internet download (http / ftp) seem to hang or stop before it can be complete

    These has been bothering me for days now. So I ran a few test.

    1) Shutting down Bitcomet and download AVG Free for one night
    Result: Download hangs without complete download

    2)Changing the wireless pre-shared key and reset the modem
    Result: Nothing changes, download speed is as terrible as using a 486 system to play counter-strike :rolleyes:

    3) Shutdown my firewall (Zone Alarm)
    Result: Again, nothing change.

    4) Test my internet speed at speedtest.net
    Result: Show my internet seems to running at full speed (download & upload)

    From all these tests result, I some how assume that my internet has been used by other people beside myself now.

    What do you guys think ? Is there any other possible cause beside this ?

    Maybe you can check the modem for it's status/log on how many IP is connected to your modem.

    Also, check that you have your DNS set correctly aka streamyx DNS I presume.

    If all still fails.... blame streamyx, I had a few slow internet days also lately.. ssseeeeshhhh ....

    Actually, I've been experiencing the slowdown (especially for certain sites) for the past 2-3 weeks. Something's wrong with Streamyx for sure.

    But mikegas is right. Check your router and see how many IPs are connected to it.

    yes.. i've also been experiencing slow internet.. i'm using OpenDNS instead of streamy's DNS.

    Hmm.. Wait, you are still here in Malaysia??? I thought you left for the States already.

    Hmm.. Could it be their DNS servers? :think:

    Hey thanks for the info. I've confirm that problem lies on Streamyx (again >.> typical). Thanks for the tip about checking the IP connection in the modem router. Tonight gonna do some CabaalSEA with friends :p it's been awhile since I retired from MMO
