Hi, yea it's version 2 i just checked the back. So it's capable of 10 meg? what's half duplex, how can i find that out
as far as i know it is half duplex - what that means is the router will wait for an acknowledgement from the destination before sending the next packet of information, so data only flows one way at a time - which is why it will only download at about 5Mb - you need a 10/100 Mb/s WAN interface to download at a full 10Mb/s, which the version 3 router has, but not the version 2.
