When my son is at my place at the weekend, he plays XBox Live over the internet, using my wireless network (Netgear 'g' type router).
This usually thrashes & crashes the router to the extent I have to hard-boot it to get it working again.
However, after this weekend, on my two laptops, I'm left with the problem that the router is working, but I'm only getting 0.38Mbps out of it, at all times of the day. I've tried hard-booting the router, but no difference.
Could this be a knock-on effect of the Xbox use? I can't believe the router could be damaged, but working slower? Is that possible?
Tiscali haven't come back to me yet on any 'network' issues.
Thanks in advance
