    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with an intel agn4965 or something like that. I have Belkin N1 router; not the best,but its served me well up until now. I got my laptop in August and its run great ever since, but all of a sudden my internet is sllllloooooowwww. Im not sure what the problem is, router/modem/service. It runs good on online games still like cod4, fear etc. My internet is Verizon 3mbs dsl btw. Any suggestions

    Have you tried a dsl connection to the cable modem?? It might be just the fact that your provider limited your traffic for the current month. Talk to them about your problem after checking the connection with a cable ;)

    There can be lots of things that can slow it down. Since your are only having problems browsing, it could be your cache files need purging. Updaters running in back ground. Back ground scanning... Have you installed any new programs, updated any. You may try doing a system restore to a date you know worked fine.

    Could be improper network settings on the port for internets!

    Might want to check all your router settings...
