---- My kingdom for a decent Gigabit Router

Oh yes, I have a Gb modem alright. The cat 5e cable goes from there into the WAN port of my router. That's where the bottleneck occurs.

It's amazing to me actually...I thought I was getting a Gb router when I bought this Netgear unit. It has:

  • LAN ports: Eight (8) 10/100/1000 Mbps
  • WAN ports: One (1) 10/100/1000 Mbps

    You'd think I'd be all set. No. I missed the fine print:
  • Throughput: LAN-to-WAN: 25 Mbps total
    arrrrgh!
