Recently I have encountered an interesting new problem with my DSL connection. Virtually every morning my network speed, using several speed test sites, will be somewhere in the 1 to 1.2 MegaBit range. Reboot the 2Wire modem, and necessarily the Airport Extreme Base station, as well as the Airport Express Base station and my network connection speed jumps to the 5.2 or better MegaBit range. I am reasonably confident the Airport Extreme or the Airport Express base stations are not the culprits as the slowdown is common to both of these.

My questions are:
  1. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
  2. What, if any, permanent solutions have you found?

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
