Havent resolved this issue officially yet but have got Belkin to send me out a new router based from what they have said here.

"Good Afternoon.

Thank you for your email.

The reason why your are seeing a slow down when connecting the router is that the routers firewall is blocking what it believes is a connection attempt (blocked by DOS protection).

I have personally seen this problem and have investigated this with NTL, however I was unable to resolve the problem with them.

This message that you are seeing should not be listed in the router and in fact the more entries like this the more that the connection speed will slow down.

Due to the fact that I have been unable to trace the route problem in the past I can only conclude that the firewall in the router is generating these errors incorrectly and is in fact causing the problem.

In order to resolve this issue please reply stating a full contact address including postal code and telephone number and I will arrange to replace this router.

Please accept my sincere apologies for any problems that this has caused."

So just waiting for a new router and i will see if it works.

Just posted this incase anyone has a simalar problem.
