Internet speed differences pc gateway vs router
Hi, I've recently upgraded my broadband connection to 10MB on NTL cable modem and installed a router with both ethernet and wireless connections. I've cloned the gateway pc to the router and notice the following performance differences.
1. With the gateway pc connected to the modem and with no router and other pc's connected the download and upload speeds are as I would expect, using a variety of measures.
2. With the router (acting as gateway) connected to the modem and with the single (previously gateway) pc connected to it but with no other pc's connected and using the same tests as in 1. above I get download speeds of around 25% of 1. above but upload speeds are only slightly less than 1. above.
Does anyone have any ideas or links for information on this. I've been searching around but I'm not coming up with any answers.
The router is a Linksys wrt54gs, it was a doddle to set up and in all other respects I'm perfectly happy with it.
Regards
Mick
