    Moved from N&F. Given the lack of info I've gone with the Wireless aspect rather than the UPC router and the broadband forum.

    I you have the ethernet cable plug it in and you will know in a few seconds if its UPC or your wireless causing the problem.

    The browser window won't be effected by your broadband, unless you mean the page just doesn't load. Otherwise you have some sort of browser/computer issue.
