So, I'm having some extremely strange network problems. On my new computer, I got a WUSB54GC network adapter and downloaded the Vista 7 64 drivers for it. Everything worked fine, until nighttime. Soon as the rest of the house went to bed, I get download speeds of 80-800 byte/s, which I find quite strange as this is the time everyone is asleep, and logically should be the time I get the highest speeds.
Now, it has nothing with the Internet connection to do, as this computer get the normal speed of 10 Mbit/s. Thing is, my other computer also has a packet loss rate of about 75-100% (depending on the speed - occasionally I still have Internet access, but download speeds of 0 byte/s and a packet loss rate of 100% when I attempt to ping the router).
Does anyone have ANY clue as to what's going on, because I'm quite clueless. I've had my network set up for several years, so I highly doubt its my router settings spooking. And as it works fine during daytime, that just makes the whole thing even stranger. Occasionally it goes back to its normal download speed, but I'm still unable to play any games, as I keep disconnecting.
I've scanned my computer several times for viruses or spyware and I can't find any, either.
