I did I downloaded the manuals from there

yep, the 10BASE-T, RJ-45
and the old and slow CPU nails it for me, it will be slowing you down for sure.

just get a new one and check the spec as i outline, more ram and faster CPU will always be the better option as it will be able to compensate for encyption and all the other options you really want today, the 3rd party firmwares are better than the originals and give you more/extra options should you wish to go down that route one day so get a router that can take them.

LOL I know and yet we are still none the wiser lol Some companies idea of customer support is not exactly brilliant is it ;)

Re: Can this router do 20mb? and Modem levels
 

i cant be bothered but it should be easy enough to go find a BOM for it and check the net chip/SOC the WAN is wired to and sus it that way for sure if its really bugging you i supose.

or just open it up and look OC.. ;)

Re: Can this router do 20mb? and Modem levels
 

thanks for the help, so should be thinking about a new router then, I'll check what happens after the upgrade first of all, then all i need to do is find a wired router =/

Re: Can this router do 20mb? and Modem levels
 

or the 2nd net-card in the best PC set as master is still the cheap but effective option if you are willing to keep it on for the other machines in the LAN.

BB<===>masterNC1---masterNC2<===>AP/switch<===>all other machines pluged in that

works just as well if the master is left on.

for just two machines
BB<===>masterNC1--masterNC2<=x=>machine2

<===> equals straight through RJ45cable
<=x=> equals crossover cable or an x-over adaptor with two straights pluged into it.
