ok i have shaw extreme and am supposed to get 15 MBPS. i ran speedtest and got only 8 MBPS whith my Dlink Di - 524 WiFi router wired to my PC.

when i pull the router and connect directly to the modem i hit 20+ MBPS

what gives?

the router shouldn't kill my internet that badly right?

edit: updated the firmware and i hit 10 MBPS now, still thats only 1/2 what i get without the router. maybe time for a newer model as this one is discontinued
