Connection really slow and dies

I guess this must be under FAQ's but...........
Connection on my PC os really alwful at present. If I close firefox and reopen, fine for about five minues, them wait about two minutes to connect to next page.
Done the test on Plus Net and seems OK.
Any ideas?
Maybe a link to the appropriate FAQ's  Embarrassed

Just changed back to an old modem. Seems to be perfect now.
Good news is that the netgear is still in guarantee with Amazon.
Anything worth trying before I send it back?

Hi rourkefamily,
Were you able to try changing the DNS settings via the http://192.168.0.1/ page?
You should be able to use any two of these:
Primary DNS (TH North)
212.159.13.49
Secondary DNS (TH North)
212.159.13.50
Primary DNS (TH East)
212.159.6.9
Secondary DNS (TH East)
212.159.6.10
