I was having a similar problem 10meg thru router 50 thru modem .I think broadbandings hinted at my solution but removed the post.

I changed my setup.

go to control panel select network/sharing click on connection view status then properties,should bring up new box,click on configure go to advanced and click on link speed+duplex, now adjust to suit .I chose one(cant remember which)and lost connection,then selected 100mbps half duplex,hey presto green light for computer lan instead of orange-speedtest back up to 50mbps on download.
My internet connectoin-browsing seems way quicker now.

originally my link speed duplex was set to auto negotiate.I`ve restarted computer a few times and connection always comes back green.

Note for any XBOX`ers,the wnr2000 nat setting is defaulted to MODERATE,not OPEN,i think open may be better for xbox connectivity.
