I recently upgraded my internet package from 10mbps(down),1mbps(up) to 30mbps(down),10mbps(up)...

I have a belkin f9k1102v1... and it's good for garbage... Wirelessly and with a cable, on a 30mbps(down) and 10mbps(up) I only get 9mbps(down) and 1mbps(up). I tested with a cable directly from the modem to the pc and it give the speed that I'm supposed to get. This router is too slow.

I run a home ftp server and run game servers at the same time. I need a reliable router that has port forwarding, has dhcp reservation and that could be upgraded to dd-wrt-tomato and back to the original firmware pretty easily.

The new router needs to be non belkin, non d-link.

Any suggestions?

f9k1102v1=Belkin N600 DB, it says the speeds are supposed to be 300mbps, something is seriously wrong that I could only achieve 9mbps

The best N router available is the ASUS RT-N66U, which does run Tomato. HERE is a fairly complete review of it. I've used a number of them and am still impressed with the job they do.

Note that there is a specific build of Tomato for it (and a few other units).
