wireless network woes

Some updates and progress:

- I'm not on BT so thanks to all those suggestions but won't work for me
- I plugged the laptop into one of the router ports, super fast no issues. So definitely wireless issues
- I've just finished switching access control on and adding the mac addresses. All of a sudden my speed issues have gone away! It's like the internet used to be, ie reasonably fast.

Also, there is one mystery mac address sitting outside the party. Unless its our wii box (unlikely, currently on standby) then I think someone has been half-inching our wifi.

Thing is, the connection is secured with WPA-PSK - is this really so insecure that the kids/pensioners that live around me could hack into it?

It will be interesting to see if we still get the connection drops, i.e. is this the same issue or different.

Depending on settings, the Wii can access t'internet when in standby. You can check it's MAC address via the menus on it.

It could be somebody has managed to jump on your WiFi - the earlier netstat traces did make me think, perhaps, somebody was doing P2P stuff - and you may well have all sorts of issues with normal web / HTTP traffic, if your router was heavily loaded with lots of connections - I was just putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5, though.

WPA2 AES will be more secure, than WPA, if you can use it - sometimes there are some downlevel WiFi devices that won't use it, though - plus if you want to get maximum connection speeds using 802.11n, then you need to use WPA2 AES. What sort of spec router is it?

Here is the result of NETSTAT -p tcp -ano on my desktop:

No sign of 52317!

Regarding computer names I'm pretty sure they are all different but I'll collect them all and come back to you.

The wifi analyser on my phone typically shows a couple of very weak signals from neighbouring wifi - we're in a cul de sca in a village, and the houses are detached. I'm on channel 11 and at the moment all we have is one other on channel 6, and signal is -100 dBm against my wifi at -71dBm. And thats measured from the desktop, which is the furthest point from the router anything is likely to be.

The router is very old - prolly circa 2003 - but I have previously swapped it for a rather nasty Thompson thing we got with our last broadband package, and we still had problems. I'd be prepared to go and buy a Draytek or something if I thought it would solve the problem.

Have you asked Keanu Reeves to take a look??? :shock: :? :facepalm:
 
haha misteroo, that joke is almost as old as my router.

After the access restriction was put on, speed went right up but disconnection issues remain. So the next step - the router firmware has been upgraded from v1.x to v3.x. Sadly there is still no support for WPA2, but I'll leave things alone for a few hours now and see what happens. Speed still looks very good.
 
to be honest routers are now so cheap I'd just get a new one, you will have a new security key and new software

I normally name my router with something like "Virus detected" and have yet to have any issues with people "borrowing it"

Now that I like!

Still there's nothing wrong in keeping the SSID hidden, I think I've only had the odd instance where I've had to temporarily unhide it to connect a new device. Plus, decent security settings and a MAC filter list should keep most at bay.
 
It's been 48 hours now and no drop in speed, no disconnections. I will put a new router on the shopping list and in the meantime, the next step is to stop broadcasting, change the SSID and increase the key to 60 characters.
 
Thanks very much to everyone who helped with this, no disconnections at all and speeds remain high. Cheers!
