Hi guys, I am just a geezer trying to figure out what to do about my line speeds.

After a few minutes, hours or days, my net speeds fall from about 7.5 mb/s ( I have a 10 mb/s line) down to around 1 mb/s with latency rising from 27ms to over 3000ms. If I reboot my N300 router it goes back up to normal speeds for a while.

right now it is ping 2023 ms, down 0.802 Mbps up 0.241 Mbps

the router is a NETGEAR DDG 2200



MWEB are my service provider and they have reset the socket a few times and any improvement is fleeting.

I have tried to download a dd-wrt firmware upgrade but I am using Apple and that seems to not be possible.

What next? Oh and if it is deemed that I need a new router what can you suggest. I live in a small home with two to four devices connected.

Warm Regards to you all.
 
It varies from 9ms when it is working fine and 3400ms when it isn't. The download speed varies from 8Mb/s down to 0.01Mb/s
