I recently purchased the linksys E1200 and even though it not the newest one out there it was within my budget. The installation went fine and it downloaded the newest firmware while it was setting up. I am a little concerned about the download speed it gives me. When I connect it via ethernet cable I get about 22 ish Mbps download and 4Mbps on the upload. When I am testing it on the wireless I get 0.60 Mbps and 4Mbps on on the upload. I understand that the wireless will result in a slower download speed but not this much. That is 36 times slower than the cord hook up.

Any Ideas?

Looks like making my N router a G only router made it faster. All of my N computers and devices were running the slow speed but my old XP computer that doesn't have the N technology had a faster bandwidth speed. Seems odd that the "better" N technology makes things slower or at least indicates a slower band width speed.
