I saw a thread where the responses to this same question indicated that a router should not affect the ISP speed.
I have cable service and they just doubled our speed for the same price. My upload speed is now 5.0 mbps and the download should be 50 mbps but is still only half that.
I did a test and disconnected the router and just used the modem. Sure enough, the download speed was now 50 mbps and 5 up. I reconnected the router and the download speed dropped back to 25 mbps.
My router is a 7 year old Linksys WRT54G but it should be capable of passing 50 mpbs in my opinion.
Any thoughts
