Well my internet is slower than normal, I suspect I'm being data capped, don't know how to "restart" my router,cuz nothing I've tried has worked.

I'm on a Dlink router, using xnet.co.whatever...

I could use help, please.

Resolved: I had two thingies between the router and the wall... no idea what they are o.0 I took them out and my speed tripled back to what it was in the good old days. :)

I'm an idiot. :(

These would be filters.

You DON'T need any filter on your router, but you DO need them on ALL other Phones, Faxes & Sky Decoders.

Have a quick look around your house and make sure everything plugged into the other phone sockets is equipped with a filter. If this is not done, your internet speed will slow right down and probably disconnect whenever anyone picks up a phone.
