Hi

Lately i have been having a lot of lag problems whenever i am on the internet or playing games it will freeze for 10-15 seconds every minute or so. I have a cable connection which is connected to my router threw a 100 foot network cable. I tried hooking my comp up to a friends lan who has the same type of connection as me and everything was fine. This use to never happen and I have no idea what caused it. Its getting really annoying, anyone got any advice please?

If youve hooked up your computer to another lan and there no problems, its most likely there is a problem with your router. Have you tried reseting it yet? Also check the CAT5 cable ends for any damage.

I had a bit of lag on my router I reset it and thinks ran much quicker, I would also recommend scanning your PC for spyware, viruses and defrag the PC, defraging can help loads sometimes
