And still loading...
I had the same problem last year and replaced my router. No problems since

Is there a difference between a wireless router and a modem? We have both.

the modem is where the internet comes from...kind of... it turns your phone line into the internet

a router.... sends the internet places...


phone jack...to the modem....to the router...which broadcasts a wireless signal for your wireless device.

And if you have a router in use without a password set up and others jump in it will as well cause you to lag or bog down , slow up

Ok, I feel dumb now. I know they're not the same thing, but I was still confused.

How do I find out what's wrong? I've reset both the modem and router multiple times. I don't know if one of the two has gone bad, or if it's the lines. We've had a ton a rain lately, and things have gotten iffy in the past when it's rained alot, but never this bad.

I knew it was my router and not my modem because my desktop could access the internet with no problems when I wired it directly to the modem.

I'll have to try that and see what happens. My mom said our phone is really scratchy though so that makes me think it's the lines.
