hi all, thanks for the great answers and support.

i too have a problem that is similiar to the first person that started this thread. i have a befsr41 router linked to a 16 port switch (ezxs16w purchased in 2002); although i can't verify the version, i know that i've been using the befsr41 router since the year 1999/2000. my cable service was recently upgraded to 10 MB service but the speed test i perform show me that i can only get speeds of around 4 to 6 mbs going through the router. connecting directly to the cable modem allows me to get the 10mbs service.

i'm assuming that i have to upgrade my router, would i have to upgrade the switch (ezxs16w) too? does anyone know? thanks.
