Linksys RV082 performance problem

Hello,

Networking isn't my strongest computer subject area, but I know I'm
having a performance problem with my RV082 router.

When I direct connect my PC to my cable modem, I can get very near the
7mb/sec rate advertised by my ISP. When I connect the modem to this
router, then connect to the pc to the router, the speed drops to
between 2-3mb/sec. All tests performed several time using
dslreport.com speed test website. The result is very repeatable, so I
figure it has to be some delay introduced by the router. I can't see
to find any place in the router configuration to do performance
tuning. I'm not using any firewall rules except for the default
rules.

Any ideas why I'm seeing a greater than 50% decrease in internet
throughput using this router?

Thank in advance!!

This is always a question that arises, my best bet, everything
considered would be to upgrade the firmware, see if any faults in the
router would be corrected, eitherwise, get a hold a comparable router,
and see if it introduces the same delays.
