I have the following problem:

I have a switch connected from the internet outtake in my apartment
This switch gives internet to two, or sometimes three computers, by cable.
To get wireless I have a DLINK-615 connected after the switch.
This solution works flawless for some time, just after the router is started or reset. If I go to speedtest.net both the upload and the download works flawless.

However, after around half an hour it's virtually impossible to upload, which gives heavy lag in programs like skype and games. If you try to speedtest.net now the download is still fine, but the upload gives a result of 0.1mb/sec after trying to even start the test for 3-4 minutes.

I've tried to change the IP in the router to prevent a conflict between it and the switch. The problem is still there whatever IP I choose though, I simply have no upload.

I've also tried to disable the DHCP, mess with the MTU and to enable the Access Point mode with no result.

What is causing this and what can I do to prevent it?

Thanks.

What happens if you connect the network in this order?>> ISP Modem> 615 Router> Switch> PCs.

This is the preferred way to set up internet.

Had very similar problem with upload speed.  ISP tech replaced outside corroded connector and fixed problem.  Realize that you are in an appartment but you could still have bad connections.  Check first that all connections are tight.  If still have upload problem then get a service call from ISP.
