Maybe someone can help me out on this related question: When I connect my DSL modem to my LinkSys router, the speed is lower than if I just go straight to my ethernet card from my DSL modem? Why is this? Also, if I AM connected through the router, and I restart my DSL modem, my speed is back up again for about half a day, and then I have to turn my DSL modem off and back on again. Like I said, if I just connect straight from my DSL modem to my ethernet card, the speed is great and I can just let it be. Weird huh?
