before you do anything change the channel its on....might helpJack said:I've had REALLY slow internet for the past few days. I've tried the usual turning off the router and putting it back on again. No luck?
I have a MacBook btw if that helps.
i have a modem/router (two in one) so idk....you can try changing either one and see if it helpsSpaceship. said:On the router or the T.V. cable box?
Could be a number of issues. I would suggest calling your ISP, telling them about your issue and have a guy come out and check out your router.Jack said:I've had REALLY slow internet for the past few days. I've tried the usual turning off the router and putting it back on again. No luck?

Virgin media.Strick said:Who's the provider?
Not really.RelaxRelapse said:Have you been downloading a lot?
damn i wouldnt expect that from virgin media they are pretty much the best provider. when you sey you have unplugged the router have you unplugged the modem aswell?Jack said:Virgin media.
I have a Netgear router and a modem box.
How do I connect through ethernet? I have an ethernet cable but I dont have an etehrnet port on my mac.
I think my MacBook has an ethernet port, but the ethernet port from my modem wont fit into the socket on my mac.Mozeley said:damn i wouldnt expect that from virgin media they are pretty much the best provider. when you sey you have unplugged the router have you unplugged the modem aswell?
and wtf is with no ethernet? how can you have a laptop with no ethernet port thats like having a tv with no hdmi port
you have a modem and a router correct?Jack said:I think my MacBook has an ethernet port, but the ethernet port from my modem wont fit into the socket on my mac.
And yeah I unplugged the router too. For some reason my internet is slowly picking up again but it's still slow as fuck compared to what it was last week.
How can I plug the ethernet cable into my router, and then into my laptop? Or am I just being fucking stupid right now?Mozeley said:you have a modem and a router correct?
your modem is connected to the router? plug the ethernet from the modem to the router and then to your laptop. forget trying to go straight through the modem that wont work
there should be 1 ethernet port on the modem and about 5 on the router. one of the ports on the router should be a different colour to the rest. plug the cable into the one thats the different colour, than plug one from the router to the laptop.Jack said:How can I plug the ethernet cable into my router, and then into my laptop?

Will try this in a bit. Thanks man.Mozeley said:there should be 1 ethernet port on the modem and about 5 on the router. one of the ports on the router should be a different colour to the rest. plug the cable into the one thats the different colour, than plug one from the router to the laptop.
if its still slow than you need to do it straight from the modem. to do that you need to unplug the router and reset your modem
only 1 thing left...shoulda got a ps3Jack said:Doing that did nothing but make my trackpad act crazy lol.
Sounds like a good idea. Thanks man.Mozeley said:only 1 thing left...shoulda got a ps3
for real though you are better off just calling virgin media. they will probably send out one of their obnoxious shitty engineers that know fuck all about anything in life. they will use your internet to watch porn on their laptop while eating your fruit. when your back is turned they will steal items from your house...after 2 hours of this they will tell you your internet is fucked and fuck off back to the pikey house they came from gifting their inbred offspring with the items that they stole from your house
