I was going to start a new thread but see this problem is basically the same as mine ... I have always connected to the network no problem - within about 15 seconds I have a turbo-charged connection. Suddenly that's changed, and it takes like 15 minutes to get my normal killer connection. It's a pain in the butt. I haven't changed any setting, software or hardware, so I'm stumped.

I ran the "can you see this page" test and it worked instantly. I'm using a Netgear WPN824 router on XPSP2 with only a windows firewall and no A/V. Again, I haven't changed any settings. What would cause a delay in ability to gain connection? Any help greatly appreciated!
