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?
the shaw modem router sucks as a router/wifi unit.

In your situation i would try another router. Which router do you have now?
