Thank you everyone for your help. So many smart people here in The Villages :-)

Our grandson is here setting up a new computer for my husband. It was taking a long time to download anything.

They went out and bought a new Linksys Cable Modem for $39 at Best Buy. Our older modem was ancient and had taken many falls. That must have been the problem. Our speed is now 12

Before today, I also had a terrible time watching videos. The video would interrupt with buffering every few seconds.

Sounds like everything is OK now. Thanks to all.
Yea! Glad your problem was solved. Memason offered great advice, as usual.

As for wireless being slower than wired, as Z mentioned, we have that issue too, even though we have a good dual N band wireless Lynksys router. Hubby loves the wireless. I always disconnect it and just use the older but faster wired when he's not home.

Anyone know how to make wireless fly as fast as wired?
