Oh, i see...

Now I understand why I have to keep power cycling and pulling the plug sometimes,
I never had a good explanation why I have to keep doing that, all I know is makes your internet speed back to normal or faster hopefully.

Well, I've tried it every time my internet slows down, unfortunately a couple of minutes, the connection slows down again, It works back then but now, not so much...

But I haven't tried taping another cable along side of my router, I'll try that.

Thank alot!

[even as we speak, i'm having trouble submitting a responding to this comment coz of my faulty bandwidth]

Knowing my ISP isn't really important since I'm not living in America or in Europe but I will tell you that we(my family) pay 30 dollars(not our actual currency) a month for 1.5 mbps.

I'm pretty sure internet mbps speed are different depending on what country you live in( I'm somewhere in Asia BTW) but it feels like I'm only recieving 0.3 mbps instead of 1.5 mbps and for me, 1.5 mbps is fairly fast, I can play online games on a North America Server that gives me 190 - 250 latency depending on how good connection those servers have, well there 0.5 - 0.75 secs delay but that's fine with me.

Well, there's telephone poles right next to every houses here, like 20 or 30 feet right next to our house, I hope that helps.

Probably because it's summer? And every kid on the block are using internet and it drains all the connection speed? I dunno, it's just my theory.

Cables gives extra bandwidth boost? That sounds Awesome!

I Thought for sure it depends on a router, also we're using a wireless router, not sure about it's full specs.
That router is basically wired to my brother's PC so he can monitor who's trying to connect to our home network, I'm connected wirelessly BTW and most of our gadgets like Iphone, Tablet, laptops etc.

Also, does having 2 routers help getting a connection boost or perhaps bandwidth boost? I think it's called bridge? I dunno, my brother is mostly the technical type but he doesn't know how to make that work. We still have 2 routers and they're both wireless btw, the new one and the dusty one.
