[QUOTE="Rich Greenland, post: 1568327, member: 265227"] Reply I attempted to post yesterday but failed because internet is tanked: Thanks Dennis, if I open Activity Monitor I presume you mean clicking on the Network button? TBH it doesn’t show much except levels of data sent and received. Data sent seems consistently much higher than data received and there seems to be a lot of data being sent even when I’m not using the internet but have windows open. Is that normal? Thanks Dave, the ISP is BT Broadband – I’m in the UK. The router is a BT Homehub, type A, less than 6 months old. Don’t know about the protocols, I’d have to ask the provider. Yes I have powered down the router a number of times, if I turn it off and on again, the speed improves for a while then gets slow again. I will do the speed test later when all family members are present. Yes 3.06GHz is the speed of the CPU. Cheers Bob and Jake I did phone the provider and he said he’d reset our router to automatically change channels if it was receiving interference from neighbours. I’m not even sure how to change channels myself. All the best, Rich G [/QUOTE]
