I applied the tweaks to my computer, and nothing changed.. But then I decided to double check my router to see if the MTU was set... (it was not) so I changed it to 1500... Now I am getting 7mbps... then I decided to just directly connect my computer the the cable modem.. and tada! 8.8mbps. So I am just running it directly to my computer then my computer to the wireless router. not like I would want it.. but works for me till I get a newer and better router. Do you know of a better router that can handle 9mpbs on the WAN connection and be able to forward outside ports to different internal ones. I have a BEFW11S4 from Linksys. I just cant get the darn thing to do faster than 6mpbs
