Well first off I guess I can start with the speed problems.
Around 2months ago we upgraded to 8mb broadband which for the first few hours it was on we where getting max speed on speedtest.net. However a day or so later I noticed download speeds where getting lower and I did regular speedchecks on the same site and noticed I was only getting on average of 4mb now. Today I did another one and I was getting 1.3mb, it's really frustrating as we are paying for 8mb and not 1-4mb. We called our ISP and they where not very helpfull at all, asked us the usual questions and everything is setup properly and they couldn't help.
I'm using a Linksys wireless router with 2x linksys wireless adapters on 2 PC's. Even with only one PC on the speed is slow. I never had any problems with my hardware before but that leads me to another problem...
Recently my internet connection has been dropping out after every few hours which I need to restart my router to regain and even then it takes a while to reconnect. I don't know if it's hardware related.
I have always used the program that came with the adapters to gain my wireless connection but recently windows Wireless Zero Config has been using itself against my wishes and not letting the other program start. Even if I do services.msc the Wireless Zero Config cannot be stopped which is really annoying me. I have done virus and spyware checks and don't know what else to do.
Please help.
