Do flickering lights on modem/router mean somebody's stealing? How to find out? [View all]
I've had the router 5-8 years, am so low tech I had to get a friend to install it. I am pretty sure my set-up is locked. Over the years I've talked to NetGear tech support a couple or three times and the router seems to be fine. I was even told by them that I didn't need to buy a replacement even though it is older than the average use span.
Anyway, lately I've had sessions when my connection, usually at night, has slowed or even stopped. There is still a "connected" status but just stops. I've only used Firefox for about a year, and frankly despite seeing many users here rave over it, it has been more buggy for me than years past of using IE. I've tended to blame Firefox for the connection problems.
But is somebody else pirating into my router/modem?
