I have cable broadband
If I hook my cat5 from the cable modem direct to my PC I get about 15 mb / sec. speeds
If I hook the modem up to my router, and then router to my PC I get about 10 mb / sec. speeds
I tested these speeds on speedtest.net
Yes, I updated the router to the latest firmware, it's a Netgear from 2005
The last, latest firmware is only dated 2006, and it made no improvement
Do I need a newer, "fresher" router, or WTH?
Thanks in advance
