easy way of testing.

on your pc open up a dos prompt (start --> run --> Type in "cmd") then in dos do a ping 192.168.*.* -t -w 10 (* is for the linksys router dont know those by head) the -t -w 10 bit is so that the ping goes continually until you stop it, this is I think 1 of the best ways to test a router if its working correctly.

if say after a while you have massive packet loss then there is something wrong with the router, so another test then is to do the same ping whilst being connected hard-wired.
