I noticed when I plug my modem directly into my PS3 my download speed is a lot faster than going through my router (still wired connection, and I do have all the appropriate settings in my router settings.)
Those modems that have a built in router, do they specialize in improving broadband 50's performance? or are they just generic routers that shaw got for cheap?

more direct line? no not true,
ethernet will be faster majority of the time than wireless
by appropriate settings in your router, have you tried trying out different wireless channel?
what router do you have?
shaw modems are pretty bad, most routers off the shelf are better than the shaw ones, they dont give good wifi signal as they dont have an antenna at all
