Cable Forum - View Single Post - Slow after adding (and removing) firewall router

Since adding a Netgear FR114W between the PC and the cable modem (and with only one PC using the internet) my 150 kbit/sec b/w has dropped to less than half, usually 60 kbits/sec but sometimes as low as 35 kbits/sec.

The supprise was that after removing the FR114W the speed didn't improved. Downloaded .zip files are also now corrupt.

What did I do wrong ? Any suggestions appreciated.
