Go to http://192.168.0.1. I havent had a look at the GUI on R36 but pressume you still have to sign in as admin/changeme, click on advanced settings and then click on config. You want to be looking for something which looks like this.

Primary Downstream Service Flow
SFID : 900
Max Traffic Rate : 110000000 bps
Max Traffic Burst : 10000 bytes
Min Traffic Rate : 0 bps

Primary Upstream Service Flow
SFID : 899
Max Traffic Rate : 10250000 bps
Max Traffic Burst : 16320 bytes
Min Traffic Rate : 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst : 16320 bytes
Scheduling Type : Best Effort

As usual they are talking a load of rubbish when they say it might take a few hours or up to 24. The change is immediate and they should force a modem reboot to download the new config. If yours still says 20mbit then you need to ring up and moan your ass off.

Yup, the shub will work at the speed of the slowest device so even if you are using your N dongle, if any of the devices also connected wireless are running at b or g speeds, then all devices will run at the slowest speed.
