I am using the Virgin supplied DIR-615 and although it works fine and can get top speeds on speedtest.net, I was disapointed that it didn't have gigabit LAN ports.
I went out and bought a DIR-825 to remedy this shortfall (all of the rest of my network was running gigabit) but found that I could NOT get anywhere near 50Mb speeds with that router (best I could get was 17Mb), despite flashing different firmwares and messing with various settings for weeks on end !
I ending up flogging it on ebay and going back to the DIR-615 and full speed.

Anyone know why this would be?
