You're using a Netgear DSL modem with an integrated router. He means to leave it off for a while then power it back on (about a 15 minute cooldown time should work.)
Are you using a 10Mb, 100Mb, or 1000Mb (gigabit) connection to the router?
1. I'll try.
2. How do I find this out?

Network and Sharing center in Win7.

Turned it off for twenty minutes, no improvement.


Change Password(if wifi)
and set it to WPA2

It's your ISP

Stop Wi-Fi jackers from stealing your bandwidth.
You can also use a lower-security WEP for compatibility with other devices (DS, PSP-1/2K, etc.) but WPA2 is recommended.

I know for a fact nobody is stealing my wifi.
The only people that live nearby are some old people, and they definitely aren't elite hackers (or enough hacker to find out my randomized WEP code).

You sure it's the ISP? :c

Keep that spy away form your internet.

If you been using loads of bandwidth you may be throttled(which means they make internet slow)

We're on unlimited bandwidth.

Yeah, I believe it may be. My mom's computer has a couple toolbars and random stuff installed. She thought it was her computer before we switched ISPs. She never complains that it's slow now.
Again, look up recent reviews around your area.

Okay I'll try and get my dad to phone.
What's weird is that this only happens in the evenings. In the middle of the day it's REALLY fast. :c

Sounds like Wi-Fi jackers are torrenting the RAGE texture sources.

Sounds like throttling. My previous ISP throttled from 3PM to 12/1AM, any other time would be fine.

This makes it sound like you'd know how much bandwidth it would eat.

Simple, smack it with a wrench.
