Perky1106 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 My laptops run on wireless internet for a while. Normally it's really fast. In recent weeks, it's gone dead slow. YouTube videos take up to an hour to fully load. The only website that loads properly is this one! What could be wrong with it as it's been fine previously and my laptop hasn't been moved.

Day Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Download this Joe [url=http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/]http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ CCleaner, clears your cache better than what your browser will do, it also clears unused files from programmes that you have uninstalled and clogging up your system. I use it myself, it's perfectly safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Clearing the cache helped slightly though the router has had to be reset quite a few times. I think the main reason it's poor is because it's on the other side of the house. Thanks the help people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
