Okay so I just swapped ISP because the old one was really slow however the new ISP is not doing much better so I'm guessing it's a hardware issue then. Kind of annoyed about this but the old ISP had a lot of other problems too..
I have a D-Link DSL-502T ADSL2+ modem and a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router. The slow speeds started around 4 months ago at the same time my old ISP started having nationwide outages so I thought that's why the problems were related.
There have been no environmental changes.. I don't have any other wireless devices that would cause interference or anything. I have a password on my router so my neighbours aren't stealing my Internet either. I had called the old ISP tech support a month or two ago and they reckoned it was either my line or my hardware but I didn't want to go out and buy new hardware just to test it. I didn't really trust them either since many people had been complaining about this company..
Is there anything I try to do without buying a new modem/router or do you think one if not both of them are not working correctly and I should really buy a new one? Thanks in advance.
