Wireless network performing poorly
My wireless internet is barely functioning at all. The signal strength is "excellent", but I'll sit on a website for hours without it loading. It worked fine until just recently, and I restarted the router with no effect. Anyone know what's going on here?

Any P2P apps that might be bogging down the router?
Try a "tracert" command to a website. See if any packets are being dropped along the way.
If you can move your computer around, try different areas of the house. Maybe there's some interference that just popped up and you can figure out what it is.

Try updating the firmware on the router, try updating your wireless drivers, try hooking your computer straight to your modem to make sure it's your router and not your internet service provider.

Pretty sure it's not the ISP, I have another computer hooked directly to the modem. I'll try updating the drivers.
