    Alright, i got a new router as my old one was a little out of date. Anyway, i set it up and all works fine. Except a few problems :

    Internet pages loading feels a lot slower - Yet speedtests show lower latency and slightly higher internet speeds

    Only one computer (Out of 4) can pick up the 5GHz band.

    The router 'crashes' every so often (Which i also had with the old router) in which the internet browsers just stop loading pages, But services such as MSN and online games (TF2, BF:BC2 etc) still work.

    Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve either problem?

    Tried a firmware update? As for the slower browser pages, try using a different DNS provider like Google's (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)

    Yeah, i fixed the slow web pages with a firmware update. But the 5ghz band issue isnt really that bad. And it hasnt crashed again. YET. So. Hopefully it'll be alright.

    I had the problem with my wireless router, I had to unplug every so often because it would freeze. We recently switched to a new phone company and their router fixed the problem.
    I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if you like me or you don't. If you like me, cool. If you don't, meh.
