    Is restarting the proper solution to a slow connection?

    So with my old router, over time I figured out that I'd have to restart (yank the plug wait five minuets or so) every now and then when DL speed went down, and that would solve the problem. Of course that router was dying. I have a new router now (WRT160N) and for the first time things are...
