Our previous router was damaged on Monday by a power surge. I have installed
a new router and wired 6 other computers to it. Since doing this my internet
connection has been running very slowly while everyone else on the networks
connection is quicker than it was with the previous router. I am also unable
to access the other computers on the network but I am unable to do so. Can
anyone offer any advice?

Can you ping other computers by IP? Or post the result of ipconfig /all here.

I am no expert, but this happend to me as well, it was my router, some
machines were eating up too many IP addresses, In my router there is a page
where you check to set up the network IP address range, if your the last
person to boot up and all the IP addresses are gone, you get an ip not on the
network causing slow or no connectivity, check your router,

go to the working machines and start dos window and type in IPCONFIG /ALL
and see what their ip address are,

then do the same on your machine and see if the non working machies IP is
way different than the others, if it is its your router.
