Since I'll be getting a new system from here soon, I wanted to make sure I can get the most out of it in any way possible.

Currently, I own an older Linksys wrt54g

It hasn't had any problems so far, besides needing to power it off/on at least once a week (which may be an issue on the ISP side of things..I don't know for sure). It does seem to run a little sluggish occasionally, especially when my girlfriend gets on her laptop (everything connected via ethernet cable).

Do any of you have suggestions for an upgrade? or should I even bother, and just keep the one I have?

Can always unplug power for a minute.
 
To the router and to your ISP's Modem.
 
usually the first thing to try.
 
remember to change your router's password or I'll get in lolol.
Hahaha

by default most people forget to change this.

I don't know weither to be grateful for the reminder to check my router settings, or if I should be frightened that you'd want to get in there to begin with LOL. 

But honestly, I went to check and realized I completely forgot my fricken password, so I ended up resetting everything. So, thanks for that, and the slight panic attack this morning ;)


DST, I'll run a speed check when I get home tonight. Seems like I can only get on here when I'm at work lately...hrmm...you know somethings wrong when you can get online at your job but not at home haha!


Edit- Here you go
Looks like the connection isn't as bad as I thought...odd. May need to purchase some new, higher quality cables. I bought a crapload of them for all of my stuff from a bulk supplier for incredibly cheap. They work well, but I'm not sure if they're the problem.Can't beat $10+ for a 25 foot cable tho :)
