NTL/UPC or router issue?

    The modem is a Scientific Atlanta EPC 2203. The 10mb connection is routed with a DLINK 655.

    When I restart the DLINK router I get good connection for a while(ie I can ping boards with 11ms) - I have the latest firmware on it.
    After a few minutes the ping to boards would go up to 2000-3000ms.

    I've been happily playing online until yesterday when all this started for no reason what so ever.

    I'm based in Galway

    before I restart the DLINK:

    This may be where the problem is??? :
    I have 2 routers and my machine tells me I am currently connected to both of them

    I have a DLINK 655 connected to UPC's modem and I have a belkin connected to the DLINK

    The idea is that the DLINK gives me wireless access upstairs and the belkin gives me access to wireless downstairs.

    I'm on my laptop which is connected by a wire to the belkin and its wireless is on also.

    On Vista the hovering over the network gives me
    DLINK is local and internet
    Belkin is local only (with wifi signal beside it)

    Any ideas?

    can you go from the modem and by pass the d-link and test?

    or can you login to that particular modem and ping/trace direct from the modem?

    You're not torrenting at the same time are you? Or someone else in your household?

    If not, you can connect your machine directly to the EPC2203 via Ethernet (with your router and everything else disconnected) and see how you get on. If no improvement, try a different computer to rule out the influence of spyware/trojans etc... then, and only then it's definitely UPC's issue.
