Netgear WNR1000 v2 blinking light issue

[mazuka]

Hello!
Couple of days ago,my router started to act weird,the blue WiFi light started to blink(never did before),and my WiFi connection became very sucky.
The net speed is really slow,did a speed test and got only 20kb/s down on my laptop,when i got over 600kb/s before.
The light did never blink before,only shined blue constantly afaik.
I tried everything i could think of,updated the drivers,reinstaled/reseted the router couple of times,with no effect.
Hope someone can help me out here!

Try scan your surrounding and check for channel interference issues

Choose only channel 1,6,11 and see how it goes

You need to other channel used, if both channel sit with strong signal it will cause issues.

Huh? i dont get it.

Insider will SHOW all the wifi around with the channel used by other wifi routers and signal

You need to read some documentation of SSIDER

If your router and other router uses same channel with strong signal each it other will cause issues

Inssider is tool to scan and survey the wireless information

Anywayz,it dosent seem to be any kind of inteference with any neighbouring router/wireless device.Have worked splendidly for months before now.
I´m really out of ideas,really tempted to just smash the thing against a brick wall at this point..:s

If you already reset the router then use pc using ethernet cable the router and check the broadband speed results. Still show good speed then possible internal wireless could be going bad if channel interference isn't an issues

Make sure to one PC a a time. Also any malware can choke the bandwidth causing slowness
