Problem with Linksys BEFSR41 router

[neohemp]

Hey all, my router is acting funny.. I'm getting an extremely slow download/webpage/etc speed first off, even when noone else is mooching, and the big problem that's driving me batty is I can't get on IRC. I can get on some third rate servers, but even those say cannot resolve hostname, I was wondering how I can fix this so that I don't have to worry about it anymore, plus it takes a long time to connect even to the third rate ones, while it's trying to resolve the hostname.


Thanks to anyone that can answer either of these questions.

Have you tried inserting a paperclip into the Reset hole? Get a firmware update (or "downdate") if you haven't too.
