Ok, here's the sitrep:

1. Got cablemodem back in Jan, bought a router, hooked it up to my cable modem downstairs, and did fine, until Safari started slowing, and eventually, wouldn't work at all with the router. Eventually the router (cheap-o Walmart purchase) stopped working.

2. Bought a Lynksis, hooked it up, and went back to being happy. In the meantime, I downloaded Firefox, and it worked way better than Safari.

3. Now I'm getting the gummed up slow thing again, and have had to go downstairs and reset (via unplugging the router and plugging it back in), and have even seen the evil "This site cannot be located" box that I got before my other router went caput.

HELP! I am not so far away from the router for this to happen, and I've emptied caches, and repaired permissions. What else can I do?
