    Hey all, hope somebody can help me..i would appreiciate it. First I must say that I am using a Linksys WRT54G V3 router, on Verizon DSL. My parents computer is in one room while mine is in another. After I use P2P programs such as Utorrent, and usually after downloading a large file my internet lags ALOT afterwards for awhile. It is not just mine, my parents computer also. It takes forever to load up pages, almost like Dialup, or a "operation timed out" message pops up. Sometimes when i click retry the web page opens up very quickly and other times it does not. I upgraded to the latest Firmware, and it helps a little bit. Is there anything i can do? On both computers the operating systems are Windows XP Professional. Please help if you can..Thank You.

    P.S I ran virus tests and spyware tests and no infections on both computers.

    Number 6 also says when turning it off will fix the problem, but it does not, after turning the program off and way after the web browsing is still very slow.

    get more ram, you might be low on ram which would slow down the pc on every part
