I need help...  but yea when ever any of my comps is connected to my cable modem directly i get great speeds whether it be downloading or uploading.  But whenever any of my comps is connected to my router my speeds drop a lot.

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 1203 Kbps about 1.2 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB)

Download Speed is:: 147 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server1)

Test Time:: Sat Jul 02 2005 00:50:03 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)

Bottom Line:: 21X faster than 56K 1MB download in 6.97 sec

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 33.41 % of your hosts average (comcast.net)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-FPXBYQ2LM

As you can see my speeds drop to only 33.41% of my host.  but when im directly connected to my modem i usually run over 100% of my host.  So im wondering if anyone could help me out?  my router is a netgear WGT624

You are right.. router does slow down to hell.. My test result came increased over X2 after my wireless router is been removed + Van burden's tweak.
