Connection + Speed Issues?

[superleeds27]

In the last few days i have noticed that on my PC upstairs and a laptop upstairs that the limited or no connectivity symbol keeps appearing quite a bit! This then often means i have to unplug and replug.

The PC upstairs i recently removed my AV, and replaced it with Norton 360. It was after this that my problems seemed to occur. I also noticed that the Widgets on my desktop were not appering correctly, upon googling this i found out that its a problem with the internet security settings, applying the fix from MS did not help! I therefore uninstalled Norton to see if this had caused the problem. Widgets where the same, as was my net connection.

Around 6-8Pm last night i had major problems, the wirless connection was there, yet nothing seemed to be coming through! I then rebooted my PC, and everything seemed fine.

About an hour ago, the same thing happened again, id type in the address press enter, and the page wouldn't load as fast as it use too, normally wasn't instantly, and now ws taking about 5-10 seconds! Then the limited or no connectivity popped up again!

I was wondering what could be causing this? Is it my installation of windows? yet it's not just happening to one PC, its happening to 2.

Is it Karoo's Problematic systems? Or, is my router on its last legs?

Anyone any suggestions?

maybe reset to factory defaults on your router, that may cure it

karoo wouldn't cause you to get limited or no connectivity, this is generally the computer not able to get a local ip address from the router.

Are you using vista at all? My girlfriends laptop seems to loose connection for no reason what so ever even when ive got it set to a fixed ip so i can port forward.
