How slow Is SLOW? Great information with the exception of SLOW....... Slow = what?
Things to check WMM enabled and WPA2 used for security
Try a factory default,
Press and hold reset until Power Led Flashes, If done correctly ALL users settings will be set to defaults.
The router just might be failing which means replace it.

SEARAY - thanks for the quick reply.
Not sure how I can describe slow - slower than what we were experiencing before last week, with the wifi now also cutting in and out pretty regularly throughout the day. An example that I can provide to describe how slow is that when I go to access a website, I can count up to 10 seconds before it loads, where it may have taken less than 2 before hand.
Current security option is set to WPA2-PSK. I don't know what WMM is, so can't tell you if it is enabled.
I can try the factory default, but throught I would provide above before I do that. The router is quite old, so the issues arising when we changed our data package may be coincidental, and the unit may need to be replaced.
